Meet the Band

Aligned in Ruins is making waves in the music scene with a fresh attitude, a new lineup, and an exciting collection of songs that still retain their signature groove. This Colorado Springs-based band expertly blends groove metal, hardcore, and djent, delivering infectious guitar riffs paired with bone-rattling breakdowns and guttural screams that create a sound truly their own.

Since emerging on the Front Range scene in 2022, Aligned in Ruins has captured attention and turned heads. Their debut full-length album, Cognitive Behavioral Torture, released in 2024, showcased their talent and energy, culminating in a triumphant victory at BandWagon Presents’ Battle of the Bands, where they secured first place in the Colorado Springs round.

With a growing fanbase across the Rocky Mountains, the band is committed to their groove-heavy roots. Their latest six-track EP, Algea, offers an even deeper dive into their powerful sound, featuring Lamb of God-inspired riffs and relentless breakdowns that are sure to get even the most reserved audience members moving.

Looking ahead to the 2026/27 season, Aligned in Ruins is eager to release another album, tour neighboring states, and connect with their audience to ensure memorable experiences for all. Their music is currently available on all major streaming platforms, including Spotify, Pandora, and Apple Music. Join the journey and become part of the Aligned in Ruins experience!
