V/A - Tribute To The Old School

6 years, 400 posts and countless stage dives and high-fives since 2010, promoting new music and reviving old ones, always under that old school filter this blog is known for. As a thank you to everyone who ever got in contact, answered my calls or spent time reading or downloading, here is a compilation paying tribute to the ones who paved the way for those who tread the hardway, against the grain.

Special thanks goes to: Jean-Paul Frijns & Marc Hanou BIRDS OF A FEATHER, Roman CLEARSIGHT, Jeff BAD TIMES CREW, Foxy WALK THE PLANK (SSS), Jeremy BUSTED OUTLOOK, J.B. BROTHER HAWK and Robert Commitment Records. Note: on my quest for unreleased material I contacted Eric Sheppard from CRUNCH TIME trying to uncover an UNIT PRIDE song they recorded back in 2003, unfortunaly he couldn't find the audio file anymore.

RHYTHM TO THE MADNESS - Discography

Location: België

Release: Powered Records, 2007-2011

The first decade of this century was very graceful in Belgium when it comes to old school hardcore. Miss the days when Powered and Complete Control were in full operation. I even visited Belgium in 2009, didnt see any show but talked with some cool people.

Two talented friends got together in 2007 and recorded a 2 songs demo with no big expectations, result is everyone was hooked and they had no choice but to go forth with their project. A mix of Iron Age and Leeway!

So far, RHYTHM TO THE MADNESS recorded the following:

DEMO (Powered Records, 2007)

01 till your well runs dry
02 through the mind's eye

SOUL DOUBT (Powered Records, 2007)
01 Intro Tranquility
02 Soul Doubt
03 Deliverance From Suffering
04 Fire, Fire [MOTÖRHEAD]

WELTSCHMERZ (Powered Records, 2008)
01 law of closure (open graves)
02 time grown old
03 into tranquillity
04 man of unclean lips
05 how our pain endures
06 sleepless evil
07 handle the heights
08 where hope is coldest

VA - STRIVING HIGHER (Six Feet Under Records, 2011)
Challenging The Heavens (Part 1 And 2)

A new EP was scheduled for 2009, but it never happened. Later they appeared in a US-based label compilation with an epic almost 8 minutes song! After a long break they came back in 2012 to play a gig, maybe something new come out, who knows?
