WE ARE THE UGLY AND PROUD

Undoubtedly, SHEER TERROR epitomizes hardcore. They exude anger, negativity, and unapologetic energy, yet paradoxically offer an always exhilarating experience. In 2012, I flew with a group of friends to Wrocław, Poland to see SHEER TERROR. Although the original Wrocław show was canceled and rescheduled in Bydgoszc, we persevered, renting a car for a four-hour return drive. Despite the low turnout and Sheer Terror’s exhaustion from their German shows (and alleged partying), the trip turned out to be an unforgettable experience—a perfect blend of great friends, memorable moments, and an outstanding performance by SHEER TERROR and the Reverend Paul Bearer.

Like it or not we are here to stay!

RUINS (BE) - LET LIGHT REIGN
"Judge and let thyself be judged, for it is thy right as a being of free will. Yet live a goodly life so that ye may judge fairly and should you be falsely judged by others, it shall matter not"

Words to be found inside the RUINS demo, vertically aligned on the inside of a blackened, inverted cross.

Although short-lived, RUINS was a promising and at the time immensely popular band from the Limburg hardcore scene in the Eastern parts of Belgium.

Featuring members of "From My Hands" (RIP), they delivered a heavily 90's metalcore / H8000 inspired sound. And that, one must still admit approx. 15 years later, they did very well.

Their live shows were awesome, obviously due to their own songs but also because they had a good taste (and the required musical abilities) when it came to some great covers of e.g. "Retribution" by 90s LB hc-heroes Kindred (a personal favorite at the TriedNTrie HQ) as well an excellent rendition of "Age Of Quarrel" by the Cro-Mags.

A self-titled demo cassette with hand printed sleeves (2008, released by Thrown Back Demotapes) unfortunately is the only tangible release to back their oeuvre.

Members went on to play in Belgian screamo-influenced band "Midnight Souls" and an Indie rock band called "The Pilot Light", both now defunct.

Their singer Daan Gielis was loved in the Belgian HC and art scene - a talented artist himself beyond the realm of music alone - and was involved in projects at the academic art-school PXL () among other endeavors. But after surviving major open heart surgeries for an auto-immune condition, sadly passed away in 2023 at only 34 years of age.

The demo ends with the singalong "LET LIGHT REIGN, LET LIGHT REIGN OVER".

Members:
Daan Gielis, Joris Vanthienen, Nick "Smellie" Smeyers, Thomas Sassi

AT WAR WITH THE WORLD
"This is the group that never compromised and never ever backed down. With FURY OF FIVE at any moment it could go off big tíme.

A look, a stare, an attítude... see ya pal.
I hope your insurance is paid up.

(...)

Self destruction was eminent, It was really just a matter of tíme..

But in the end who really gives a f**k.

We went around the world and had some good times and that's really where it's at. This is the band that took no s**t (Or what they thought was s**t) from anybody. Whether you were in a band (especially if you were in a band), a bouncer in a club, or just an everyday fool who can't keep your mouth shut yourass would get f**king taxed. It kept things lively that's for sure.

But when you live by the sword of course you die by the sword as well. In the end all of Fury's violent exploits painted them into a corner. There was just nowhere to go. It's hard to be a band when clubs don't want you to play since you put a bunch of their bouncers in the hospital. So there you have it."

TRIED & TRUE

Tried & True was founded in 2012 with a primary focus on concert and event booking. Community-driven, and deep rooted in the European underground punk and hardcore music scene.

From 2018 onward, TNT became a collective effort with a three-headed input from Belgium, The Netherlands and Poland - reporting hardcore and punk related news updates, band features and historical anecdotes through social media and a physical fanzine.
