About Age of End

Formed in late 2008 against the backdrop of Massachusetts’ Merrimack Valley, Age of End shapes a variety of genres into a rhythmically powerful and musically diverse sound.

In?uences of Metal, Hardcore, and Hard Rock are scattered throughout the band’s independent debut album The Rhythm of The Slaughter, released in January 2010. Recorded at Woodshop Recording Studios in Andover, MA with producer Charlie “Bunk” Borruso (Godsmack, Dog?ght, Another Animal), the full length’s ?rst single/b side, “Shattered/ beLIEve,” received thousands of plays online before the band had ever even taken the stage.

To celebrate the release of the album, the band headlined their CD release party at Worcester, iconic venue The Palladium. Since then, The Rhythm of the Slaughter has been played on dozens of FM and internet radio stations from coast to coast in the US., and in over 20 other countries including the UK, France, Poland, Estonia, The Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Finland, Indonesia, and more. Age of End has been featured in close to a hundred publications, websites, and blogs, including AOL’s Hard Rock/Metal blog, Noisecreep, and Altsounds.com (UK);in July ’10, they were name a featured artist on Reverbnation.com.

Since their ?rst show in July ’09, Age of End has been given the opportunity to play with a wide variety of national acts including Shinedown, Puddle of Mudd, Papa Roach, Sevendust, Nonpoint, Cold, Soul?y, 10 Years, Unearth, Full Blown Chaos, Prong, and more. The band has also been a part of multiple festivals including WCYY’s “Oxxfest” and WAAF’s Indoor Beach Party.
