The Ghosts We Carry

Age of Ruin

Watch this candle burn Dancing in the darkness Eyes watch from all around Waiting for something Ashes falling down Touching all the heartless Silence has found its sounds Help me, Is there no way out? I’ve gone too deep someone come search for me Bring your sword and shield Before you walk that battlefield Someone come quick before I come undone I pound the walls in front of me I plot escape as I strain to breathe Take my flesh and take these bones Just don’t leave us here alone Memories, of you keep haunting me This sweet embrace feels so comforting This wound time can’t heal But this pain I want to feel Someone come quick before I come undone Ashes falling down Touching all the heartless Silence has found its sounds It’s beating I feel it setting in Watch this candle burn, Dancing in the darkness Eyes watch from all around Waiting for something Ashes falling down Touching all the heartless Silence has found its sounds It’s beating, repeating

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.
