Rising Tide: the story so far…
Did you ever get tired of hearing the same old thing over and over again? We did. Therefore in 2005 Rising Tide saw the light of day. In the southern parts of the Netherlands five kids got together, packed with a long time experience in other bands to create a new sound in hardcore.
Since 2005 Rising Tide released two records, combining melodic hardcore, heavy metal, mosh and everything in between. No need to stick a label to it and if you must, we’re glad with what the critics have to say:
It’s just that it could be best described as ‘Iron Maiden core’, because not only melodic old school hardcore left its mark on the sound of Rising Tide, but also the rocking riffs they throw around. And they know how to speed it up and mosh it up too. Their style has everything. © AsIce.net Hardcore E-Zine.
After the well received debut full length Drift Away, Villa Optima Records from Roermond, Netherlands gave Rising Tide a chance to show their skills on a Split CD with our great friends in Bloodtrial. A killer production from Sonic Sound Studios (Settle The Score, Cheap Thrills, Drift e.g.) topped the four Rising Tide songs off and made this Split CD a must have for every kid out there looking for a fresh take on Hardcore.
With the Bloodtrial vs Rising Tide Split CD in stores Rising Tide are more eager than ever to conquer new worlds and set foot on unknown territories. Although we’ve played quite some shows throughout the years, we’re still ready to rock your stage as always: with the energy, the fun and the passion - present today more than ever.
