They then relocated to Portland, USA. Their debut EP entitled 'Fragments Of A Fallen Sky' and the follow-up 'Life And Death' had more in common with His Hero is Gone and other notorious crust bands of that era. By the release of their 2000 debut full-length, 'Concrete and Steel' (it even has the same production as Tragedy's self-titled debut), they started displaying characteristics (although not as melodic) very similar to what is commonly attributed to the band Tragedy. They released a discography compilation in the year 2000. Their second full-length, 'Silence' was released in 2001 and features different production, most notably the snare sound.
In 2003, they released a split record with Swedish band Victims, it serves as transition point for the band between the material from the previous releases and their next record; 'Nightmares', their last album, was released on Jade Tree that same year. Further influenced by Tragedy, it is their most popular, melodic and influential record. Not all the aspects of their sound are derived from Tragedy but rather they simultaneously helped define and further develop what was later known to become 'neocrust'. Both bands evolved at the same time and possessed differing elements, however the Tragedy influence is there since both bands are close friends and reside in the same place.
The band split up in fall 2005 after doing a tour with the legendary UK band Subhumans.
On October 12, 2009 a reunion show at the Satyricon in Portland, OR for February 21, 2010 was announced via the band's MySpace blog. A limited number of shows were since performed. The 2010 live album entitled 'Live Hell' documents one of these performances. Their latest release is a 2012 two-song single entitled 'Rejoice the End / Rage of Sanity'. It is very melodic and even more similar to the neocrust style Tragedy became known for.
Brad Boatright became a producer/sound engineer and founded his own recording label/facility referred to as 'Audiosiege' in 2011 which has become considerably popular in the hardcore scene worldwide, many artists want their music produced by him.

one of the greatest Crustbands ever!!!
David Johnson
Glad to see so many people digging this band at last! They were easily my favorite band from 2001 to 2004 or so. I saw them play at Gilman st on valentine's day 2003 and it was a fuckin killer set. I managed to get the set list from the band too. Saw them in Goleta CA at the Living Room in 2001 as well, but the Gilman show was my favorite...

Concrete & Steel and Silence have two of the greatest opening tracks, and they always end w/ amazing fade-outs. So influential, and super nice dudes all. Brad mastered one of my albums. Such a talented dude.

Hmm, thanks for the tip Joshy. I'm single, but I'm sure I can find someone to pwn. I'll post nothing but From Ashes Rise pics. Sick burn.

One of the few "contemporary" ( I usually prefer stuff from the 80s, like Articles of Faith, 76% Uncertain etc) hardcore bands I enjoy. Very powerful and distinctive 🤘 In fact, Rung By Rung sorta has a similar vibe to the heavy instrumental band Pelican.
Travis Binkley
this band used to crush it in Nashville back in the day!!! they would set up on the floor and would thrash with the pit beside them!!!
