Информация о артисте
Congress formed in 1993, when all HC activity in europe was low... Most bands played either straightforward youthcrew HC or emo/post HC. Congress tried to blend the aggression and fury of HC with the technique and heaviness of metal. The successtory started in 1994 with the release of the classic 7"/MCD 'Euridium'. The term Edgemetal was born, the H8000 style of HC was created and lots envied that style and area. Goodlife contacted the band and in 1995 the milestone in metallic HC 'Blackened Persistance' was released. Congress found itself in a leading place touring with bands like Neglect, Morning Again, All out War...and playing festivals with either metal- or NYHC bands. In 1998, they released 'Angry with the Sun' in which the band mixed old school HC with black/trash/gothic metal and played concerts at the legendary 'Dynamo Open Air', 'Graspop' and 'Dour festival'. One release later ('Stake through the Heart', which meant the end of the bands' existence) the band fell apart.
After a short hiatus, Congress got their act together and started doing shows again. The newborn motivation led to another awesome record 'Resurrection'in 2004, which placed the band once again in the spotlight. The band toured Japan alongside Integrity and did some videoclips to promote the record. After the Spain tour, however, current singer Tim Jult left the band announcing he'd stick to the drumkit and leave singing for what it is...
Now, anno 2K5, the uppershriekmaster Pierre joined forces again and the old times were relived again. Unfortunately, the pace was too high for this line-up and after numerous discussions, letdowns and a very bad-luck-year, the band decided to call its quits. They recorded their final songs for a discography combined with these new songs called ' The Legacy' on Goodlife. Congress played their last show on november 11th in front of 800 overenthousiastic kids and are now part of HC history. Their legacy lives on throughout belgium, europe, the world...

There is more than one artist named Congress:
1. Congress was a Belgian metal/hardcore band formed in 1993, recognized as a leader of the H8000 scene.
They introduced a musical style known as "Edgemetal", a combination of the straight edge/drug-free lifestyle and death metal music.
Their most acclaimed and known record is certainly Angry with the Sun, released in 1998, which allowed them to tour in the US with bands like All Out War.
Since their debut, Congress are signed on Goodlife Recordings, along with labelmates Liar or Deformity (also from the H8000 scene).
The band eventually split in late 2006.
2. The Congress, initially formed by guitarist Scott Lane and vocalist/guitarist Jonathan Meadows, blends feel-good American music and authentic Southern R&B to produce a fresh Rock sound in an industry of puzzling sub-genres. The group's sound is carried by the true strength of Meadows' tenor voice, which glides over a decidedly modern groove with a nod to the vintage Virginia traditions that seep from their lyrics. Meadows and Lane have both toured extensively throughout the east coast but were drawn to Denver due to it's proximity to the Rocky Mountains and it's burgeoning music scene.
Lane relocated to Denver in 2008; Meadows followed a year later in September of 2009, only after Lane had convinced Meadows that he had found a rhythm section in Damon Scott (drums) and Dwight Thompson (bass) that fit the vision they collectively desired. After two short rehearsals, the newly formed band played it's first official Denver performance in September of 2009. They continued to build momentum by traveling throughout the front-range and the rocky mountains, quickly honing their live execution in front of astonished audiences.
The Congress's live shows are a fluid amalgamation of genre bending music that can transport a listener from the intersection of Haight-Ashbury to the bruyant bustle of the French Quarter. Head north toward the Mason-Dixon and you'll find The Congress sipping on whiskey in Appalachia. The band manages to achieve this sound in a delicate and concise way, embracing improvisation and resolve, leading to a polished, worldly and song-driven mentality that connects with a diverse cross section of fans on a deeply fundamental level.
The Congress was steadfast in establishing itself as a can't miss live act but they felt in order to maximize their potential, they needed to get in the studio immediately. Scott, who had worked previously with Grammy Award winning recording engineer John Macy, recommended Macy Sound Studios to Meadows and Lane. It was an ideal match as all parties shared a desire to achieve the warm and loose sound of 60's and 70's era recordings -- while maintaining a modern and edgy feel to the music. After the band, the studio, the engineer was established, Meadows called upon friend, musical ally and wunderkind, Daniel Clarke (k.d. lang, Ryan Adams, Mandy Moore) to co-produce and play Hammond B-3 and piano on the upcoming session.
The result is a stunningly lush and diverse seven-song e.p. that captures the group in it's creative infancy but clearly displays an unlimited potential for crafting American music at it's finest. Receiving international recognition even prior to it's release, the song, "Back Where You Are" was chosen to air on CNN as part of a world-wide fundraising campaign to aid relief efforts for the devastation caused by the massive earthquake in Haiti. The Congress is touring in support of their debut album throughout the Summer of 2010 with shows from the Southeast to the Northwest.
3. Congress was also an Electronic duo consisting of Danny Harrison and Danny Matlock.
They kept producing until 1994, and are still highly regarded in the Electronic music scene.
They are mainly remembered for the huge 1991 rave tune 40 Miles, which has been included in numerous Electronic collections over the years -- including Fantazia, Hed Kandi, Deep heat and House Collection.
