The Traveler

Age of Ruin

Punching, it’s scratching and biting howling at the sky, it’s turning Breaking, it’s bleeding, it’s burning A beast born of night Choking; this Traveler says to me Screaming; let me set you free Laughing; this is all you need Bleeding; look what it cost me Panic, as it feels so empty. your memory haunting and your voice repeating shouting "You brought on your own disaster, I can hear your heart grow faster." Choking; I feel it setting in Screaming; when do we begin? Laughing; It’s crawling in my skin Bleeding; now try and stop me Punching, its scratching and biting howling at the sky, it’s turning Breaking, it’s bleeding, it’s burning A beast born by night I greet the monster in me, it makes me feel that I’m free Now I've come to believe that this monster is me. There's no one left to save us Just left here to bleed When it’s you and me, it’s suffering Can you smell the death with each breath This misery needs company Save us from ourselves Before we fade away No one hears you here in the darkness I'll meet you where my heart is rip it out, sew me shut now I’m empty You took everything

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.
