  • Bio

    Course of Ruin began in 2002 in Austin, Texas. After heavy local and regional gigging, the band began garnering the attention and praises of fans all over the Lone Star State, as well as from national favorites like Lamb of God, Machine Head, American Headcharge, BloodSimple, Bleed the Sky, Ankla, Sevendust, Black Label Society, and The Agony Scene, all bands for which Course of Ruin were selected as tour support. After releasing a 3-song demo in 2004, the band released Dominion, it’s first official CD, to wide critical acclaim. Headline gigs at Stubb’s and Emo’s outside stage followed, further cementing the band’s place at the top of the genre in Texas. Course of Ruin’s sound is brutal. However, the aggressive riffing is augmented with healthy doses of melody; intertwined with the dynamic changes that drive each song. The band combines the precise attack of machine-like modern metal riffs, with some overtones of progressive metal, and the relentless aggression of old-school East-coast styled hardcore. Combine these elements in the right proportions and you will have the amalgam of styles and texture that is Course of Ruin. Any way you slice it, Course of Ruin is pure Texas metal. Fans of Chimaira, Hatebreed, and Machine Head will love this band! Course of Ruin’s lyrics are aggressive, subversive and yet laced with inextricable hope. Most of the band’s lyrical content is based on either personal experiences, or derived from an awareness of societal decline, and the hope of reconciling ourselves with truth. The band has no illusions about the fact that the extreme music will not appeal to the faint of heart, nor will the bold ideas or messages in the lyrics appeal to closed minds. .. .. ...... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .... .... .. .. .. .. ..
