Course of Ruin is a relentlessly brutal sonic attack from deep in the heart of Texas. Their music is a blend of old-school hardcore(like Sick of it All and Biohazard) and more modern metal (like Prong and Machine Head).
Band/artist history
The formation of the band began in December of 2002 with Roland (EDH) and Walter (Inhabit) in a tiny rehearsal room at the Band Co-op. The two started writing. They quickly realized that they were onto something, and knew that it was time to incorporate the ideas and perspectives of a full band. Santos, referred by a friend of Roland, joined up a couple of months later, and the three continued to write. What was to become the song "Real World" was written and recorded with programmed drums and presented to Shaun and Jeremy (Edgemere); who had expressed disillusionment with the lack of focus and musical ambition from current band mates. Days later, the two came up to the Co-op and jammed the song from the recording. Roland, Walter and Santos exchanged knowing glances - indicating that very little discussion would be needed to arrive at the obvious and inevitable conclusion. It, literally, took only minutes for everyone in the room to realize that something special had just come together.
Have you performed in front of an audience?
This is a newly formed band. We have have only been fully formed for about 9 months. Our fist show is coming up next month.
Your musical influences
Course of Ruins sound is brutal there are no two ways about it. However, the aggressive riffing is augmented with moments of melody; intertwined with the dynamic changes that drive each tune. The band combines the precise attack of machine-like modern metal riffs, with some melodic elements and overtones of progressive metal, and the relentless aggression of old-school East-coast styled hardcore. This might sound like a strange mix, but combine these elements in the right proportions and you will have the amalgam of styles and texture that is Course of Ruin. Fans of heavy music have been forced to listen to far too much compromised, corporate swill. You won't find that here.
What equipment do you use?
Roland uses ESP guitars, the Line6 Flextone II head, and Marshall cabinets. Santos uses Spectre and Music Man basses, SWR Amp's and cabinets. Walter uses Gibson, Ibanez and ESP guitars, the Marshall TSL 100 head, Mesa Rectifier cabinets. Jeremy uses Tama drums. Shaun uses...everybody else's stuff.
