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 on Tribunal Records and a number of substantial lineup changes, Age of Ruin released their most defining record to date, "The Tides of Tragedy" via Eulogy Records (Alveran Records in Europe) in the spring of 2004. The band drew large crowds across the United States on the Van's Warped Tour 2004 [1], and the hype continued to build. Subsequent tours with bands such as Shadows Fall, Darkest Hour, The Bled, Sworn Enemy, Good Clean Fun and Anterrabae 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 as The Black Dahlia Murder, Bleeding Through, and Most Precious Blood [2]
As of Fall 2008, three of the founding, original members of the band along with two new members reformed as a new version of the original incarnation of "Age of Ruin," which existed between 1998 and 2002. Apparently both "Age of Ruin" groups have finished new records and are planning on releasing them soon.
