artist Arise and Ruin

Ryan Bauchman - vocals Brent Munger - guitar Greg Richmond - guitar Ben Alexis - bass Derek Prince-Cox - drums Together since only June of 2005, Guelph, Ontario’s Arise And Ruin are quickly becoming THE new face of Canadian extreme metalcore. Dedicated to constant touring and their passion for extreme music, Arise And Ruin combine a ferocious mix of unpolished American metal, mosh-your-life-away breakdowns and menacing European thrash into a full-throttle hardcore assault. Having had the honor of sharing the stage with such bands as Underoath, Silverstein, Misery Index, Despised Icon, Beneath The Massacre, Tears From The Sky and A Perfect Murder, Arise And Ruin have already won over countless audiences and amassed a small army of loyal fans. On a recent break from the road, the band recorded their debut five song enhanced CD/EP entitled The Fear Of with producer Ken Susi (Unearth). A bonecrushing release which should have fans of Killswitch Engage, Unearth and As I Lay Dying adding Arise And Ruin to their list of new favorite bands. The CD/EP also contains enough bonus video footage to demonstrate exactly what a powerful and menacing live act Arise And Ruin have already become! With a Canadian April 18, 2006 street date for the release through Stereo Dynamite Recordings, the band will be hitting the road again for an almost endless string of tour dates to promote The Fear Of.
