Originating from the St. Louis area, Cycle Of Ruin emerged in the mid-2000s as a project that fused the intensity of death metal with the grandeur of power metal, all while weaving melodic passages that add emotional depth to fast-paced riffs. The lineup over the years featured core members such as Cory Jackson, Jaymz Miller, Aaron Chase, and Brant Hutchcraft, contributing to a sound that fans describe as both brutal and melodic. The band’s approach has always been grounded in strong musicianship and a clear passion for heavy, anthemic metal.
Discography highlights include:
- The Crimson Fog of Death (EP, 2014, independent): An early showcase of their brutal, cresting guitar work and aggressive vocal lines, establishing Cycle Of Ruin’s signature blend of death and power metal.
- Born For War (single, 2019): A forceful release that encapsulates their intensity and melodic sensibilities, continuing the band’s tradition of high-energy metal anthems.
As of the latest updates, Cycle Of Ruin has been listed as active 2005–2022 with no confirmed touring activity in 2025.
