Liar

There is more than one artist with this name:

1) Liar is a straight edge hardcore band from the H8000 scene in Belgium. Early '90s they introduced influences of thrash, black and death metal in hardcore, when there were only emo and youthcrew bands on European soil. Debut cd Falls of Torment was released through Goodlife Recordings in '95 and shook the scene with it's heavy Slayer-influenced hardcore.

In '97 Invictus was released, one of the best metallic hardcore albums ever from Europe and far beyond. In '99 Deathrow Earth was released which is considered their darkest album. After this album guitarist and co-founder Josh Fury left the band to focus on CONGRESS. 2 guitarists replaced him. In 2001 Liar's Hell was released on Alveran Records, and in 2005 Murder Manifesto on GSR Music, which was very brutal, dark and black metalcore alike.

In 2006 Liar called it quits. They also released some split cd's, toured Europe lots of times, toured Japan, and still live the vegan/veggie straight edge lifestyle.

In 2008 however they announced a comeback.
