Get to Know Us

City Of Ruins is a melodic metalcore band based out of Atlanta, GA.

We are a group of experienced musicians with different and diverse backgrounds joined together to create a sound that is fueled by energy with passionate choruses sung over melodic guitars. Our goal was to create a sound that is heavily influenced by the emocore and metalcore bands of the early 2000s while bringing some more modern djent and metalcore aspects that drive todays scene.

We are currently recording our debut EP Dreambound.

We knew it wasn't going to be an easy task but we are excited to share that the end is nearing and we will be announcing a release date here shortly. Although, this is a debut EP for us, it is kind of a coming to age album at the same time. As we have all gone through our own musical journeys to bring us here.

Dreambound is an album about the struggles we all face in life chasing our dreams of happiness and success. It's a melodic homage to the early 2000s emocore meets metalcore. They are passionate chorus driven songs that are relatable and will leave you singing the words in your head over and over again.

If you want to hear any samples or anything, just hit us up and we will gladly share.
