- Age of Ruin
Age of Ruin is an American
Metalcore band. In 2003, after playing local shows, Age of Ruin was considered a torchbearer for the Washington D.C. hardcore scene. Unlike many other bands of the same genre in their area, Age of Ruin never eschewed their hardcore mentality. Blending melodic metalcore and mosh with hard rock, the band pushed originality and difference on the scene. After LP and EP releases onTribunal Records , Age of Ruin released their most defining record to date, "The Tides of Tragedy " viaEulogy Records (Alveran Records in Europe) in the spring of 2004. The band drew large crowds across the United States on the Van'sWarped Tour 2004 [http://www.punkrocks.net/display_interview.php?id=72 PunkRocks.net 2004 Warped Tour Journal, www.punkrocks.net] ] , and the hype continued to build. Subsequent tours with bands such asShadows Fall ,Darkest Hour ,The Bled ,Sworn Enemy ,Good Clean Fun andAnterrabae continued to cause an already strong following to grow. In Winter 2006, Age of Ruin kicked off the year with their first European tour, a 25 day tour crossing 12 countries. Sharing the stage with other mainstream acts such asThe Black Dahlia Murder ,Bleeding Through , andMost Precious Blood [http://www.lambgoat.com/news/view.aspx?id=6004&search=Age+of+Ruin Lambgoat News Update January 2006, www.lambgoat.com] ]Current lineup
