For more than a decade, Rise And Fall carved out a reputation as one of Europe's most uncompromising hardcore bands. Deliberate, intense, and unmistakably their own. Formed in Ghent in the early 2000s, the band built their name through constant touring and a steady run of releases: four albums and four EPs, largely issued by Deathwish Inc., the label founded by J. Bannon of Converge.
In late 2012, the band stepped away from live shows. There was no formal breakup, no final show, no drama. Just a break that ended up lasting far longer than expected.
Fourteen years later, Rise And Fall return to the stage for the first time. In the years between, the members never stopped creating, remaining active in bands such as Wiegedood, Oathbreaker, Raw Peace, Wrong Man, Force, Crouch, Blind To Faith and Living Gate.
Rise And Fall never officially ended; they simply went quiet. On November 7th, that quiet comes to a close.
