BIOGRAPHY
Between tragic reality and fiction, Voice Of Ruin draws its lyrical inspiration from both the darkest episodes of history and a dystopic future, ravaged by disease and human madness. On the musical side, the influences of the band, both modern and classic, have evolved over the years, but the style remains difficult to categorize. Some argue that Voice Of Ruin distills a melodic death metal, while others will find notes of groove, thrash and even black metal.
Since its creation in 2008 in the french speaking part of Switzerland, Voice Of Ruin never stopped touring around the world. The band has now more than 250 shows under its belt alongside bands such as Sepultura, Cannibal Corpse, Children Of Bodom, Hatebreed, Skindred, Jinjer, Obituary, Samael and The Black Dahlia Murder.
In 2017 the band released “Purge and Purify”, a second album produced and recorded in England by Romesh Dodangoda (Motörhead, Bring Me The Horizon, Sylosis…). This record allowed Voice Of Ruin to play numerous shows in Europe, India and Nepal and to earn its place on several renowned festivals such as MetalDays and Sylak Open Air.
At the end of 2018, Voice Of Ruin arrived at Studio Fredman in Gothenburg, Sweden, to record its third album. The collaboration with producers Henrik Udd and Fredrik Nordström (In Flames, Arch Enemy, Architects, Dimmu Borgir…) was successful and pushed the band to the next level. “Acheron” came out at the end of 2019 with its load of shows.
Then the pandemic struck the world (and the band’s hopes and motivation). After a six-month break, the writing process of the fourth album began at the end of 2020 and lasted until the end of 2022. “Cold Epiphany” was released at the end of 2023 and allowed Voice Of Ruin to return to the European stages and perform at renowned festivals such as Rock The Lakes, Gränichen Open Air and Dortmund Deathfest.
After several years of releases, shows and relentless work, Voice Of Ruin is now entering a new era. The band is back in 2026 with a brand-new EP, marking the beginning of a new chapter in its history. Heavier, darker and more mature, this release explores new musical territories while staying true to the raw energy and intensity that have defined Voice Of Ruin since 2008.
