History

Early career and ''Hellmouth'' (2002–2004)

Formed in 2002 in Ghent, Belgium as a side project of members of the Deal and Kingpin, Rise and Fall eventually became the most important band for all four members as these groups disbanded. Following some lineup changes, the band released their first album Hellmouth, in April 2004. The album was released on CD a few months later by JTTP Records in Germany and on vinyl by Belgian label Anger Management Records. The band then set out on a self-booked European tour in August, and supported 100 Demons on their European tour in October. During these tours the band started writing material for their following album.

''Into Oblivion'', ''Our Circle Is Vicious'', and ''Faith'' (2005–2012)

In March 2005 the drummer departed from the band, stunting the new album's progress. In April 2005, one year after it was originally recorded, "Hellmouth" was released in the United States with bonus tracks on Philadelphia's "SA Mob" record label.
In the meantime, ex-Course of Action drummer and long-time friend Jp joined the band, and together they finished writing the new album.
In July 2005, the band recorded their second full-length "Into Oblivion". The album was recorded in CCR Studios in Zulte, Belgium, engineered by Vincent Tetaert of Amen Ra and mixed in Boston, MA at Godcity Studio by Kurt Ballou. American label Deathwish Inc. and European Reflections Records put out the album. Throughout the rest of 2005, Rise and Fall toured throughout Europe.
In 2006 Rise and Fall extended their touring schedule:
Rise and Fall released their third studio album, Our Circle Is Vicious, and their fourth, Faith through Deathwish Inc. on October 27, 2009 and March 20, 2012 respectively.
