In May of 2002, Tim Zlinsky (vocals), Tyler Solnosky (drums), Justin Blakey (bass), Brandon Collins (guitar) and Austin Floyd (guitar) formed what is now THE CLASSIC STRUGGLE. Spawning from Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, the band set out to let everyone know who they were and what they were about by touring constantly throughout the east coast and Midwest with bands like ESCAPE GRACE, MY BITTER END, and THE ODD PROJECT. In late 2003, Austin Floyd parted ways in return adding Jason Shuping on guitar and ever since, they've had no intentions of slowing down in the future. TCS have been known for their energetic live performances and their "heavy as hell" reputation all around the United States. Having shared the stage with EVERY TIME I DIE, UNEARTH, SOILENT GREEN, MALEVOLENT CREATION, LAMB OF GOD and many more, their mixture of European thrash, metal and hardcore has caught the eyes of many throughout the country and with three demos and their debut album "Feel Like Hell" hitting the stores on May 5th in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, and on May 8th in all of Europe, the rest of the metal world will see what this metal onslaught will have to offer.
