EXCELLENT PRESS KIT
this is THE AGE OF RUIN.
Age of Ruin hails from Washington DC, where political scum seeps into street sewers, drowning bottom feeders and corroding hope. in 1998, metalcore was forged here, as these pioneers rose from the catacombs to unleash music so molten the earth could no longer contain it. The AoRmy forged a new offering in 2025, known as Nothingman, sought out by vagrants whose poor taste includes In Flames, Killswitch Engage, and Soilwork.
SEE IT TO BELIEVE it.
Age of Ruin’s Nothingman delivers ten melodic songs that satisfy the most sorrowful of souls. With elements of melodic death metal, metalcore, hardcore, and diesel burning rock and roll, the record offers listeners of all stripes fuel for their flames. And, having toured numerous times spreading the gospel of new noise, the veteran AoRmy crushes live performances like none other. Multiple tracks from Nothingman are visually enhanced for modern stimulation.
THATS what she said.
“There’s a live energy running through the album designed to be shouted back from the pit, every chorus written with fists in mind.” - Heavy Metal Darkness
“Nothingman’ has more guitar harmonies than I own black T-shirts.” - Metal Digest
“The breakdowns are stacked like pancakes in an American diner at breakfast on this one.” - Metal Noise.net
“I’d dare say we’ve finally got an album you can party with that’s not some drunkard Folk Metal record with bagpipes and pirates." - Metal Eclipse
“A strong album that, despite its aggressiveness, consistently offers moments of catchiness. Musical diversity and technical quality."- Metal Underground
“The melancholy is delivered brutally.” - Scream Magazine
JAM it all to hell.
come and get IT.
Age of Ruin’s new record, Nothingman, is the band’s best work to date. Produced by Mike Schleibaum of Darkest Hour, Nothingman sees AoR exploring melodic territory never unearthed in songs like The Fixation and Lovesong, while pummeling the audience with massive breakdowns in songs like The Ghosts We Carry and Bleed for Better Days.
