Lost in Shadows
Age of Ruin
Lately I’ve been feeling overwhelmed Trapped in this hell I’m not myself Shattering, reflections fall away This mirror’s gaze sees many ways Quietly, destroying everything we are The darkness grows We’re lost in shadows Hold your breath and try not to bleed Echoing, we hear it every day Wait patiently helps on the way Come with me, before it all caves in Cut out my tongue I think I'm done Or has it just begun These lines blur, until it all disappears It starts to feel like home Here among the bones All the worried eyes It's never been so clear I’m everything you fear But maybe what you need The darkness grows Lost in Shadows Cut out my tongue I think I'm done

Nothingman, Age of Ruin’s forthcoming album, is a collection of 10 songs that cuts a path to the heart with harmony and angst that others would be naïve not to mimic. The band sacrificed blood and sweat for two years to expel Nothingman. Age of Ruin began recording in October of 2023, and after nine months of tracking on location in Richmond, VA, at the Bakery Studio, in Washington, DC, at Ivakota Studio, and at the Riff Dojo in Takoma Park, MD, (produced by Mike Schleibaum of Darkest Hour), Nothingman was complete. This is the biggest, most richly woven tapestry from the band yet.

Ripping guitars, unforgivably brutal drums, bass sounds that have shaken the underworld, and screeching vocals are just the beginning of this incarnation of a true headbanger's incantation. What we saw unearthed back in 1998 has now grown. The road worn warriors of the AoRmy have forced enough breakdowns to overwhelm any AAA mechanic, with miles on the highway ahead.

Their punk and metal roots hold firm, and their thrash tendencies are on full display as this towering presence of a band branches out over new tonal terrain and soundscape; reminding all who fall under its shadow, that the light shining through is a new dawn in the Age of Ruin. Nothingman was released on planet earth on October 17, 2025.
