History

Arise and Ruin formed in 2005, and independently released the five-track EP Arise and Ruin.[1] [2] In 2005, the group toured Canada with Silverstein, Underoath,[3] Bleeding Through[4] and Protest the Hero.[5]

They then signed with Toronto's Stereo Dynamite Recordings and, in 2006, released the five-track EP The Fear Of.[6]

In 2006, they signed with Victory Records and, in October, released their first album, The Final Dawn, through American label Victory Records. [7] [8] They then toured with Misery Index, A Perfect Murder,[9] Between the Buried and Me, The Red Chord, August Burns Red, and Cephalic Carnage.

2007 was a difficult year for the band. In August 2008, they issued a news release which stated, in part: "the last year has been rough...We have been walked on, ignored, lied to, made to feel worthless, watched friends call it quits, persevered through personal struggles, [and] toured this continent endlessly."[10]

The band toured in 2008 with Emarosa and Dead and Devine.[11] [12]

In May 2009, they released the album Night Storms Hailfire, a live album recorded and produced by Ian Blurton.[13] They performed their last show, on October 22, 2009, at Toronto's Mod Club Theatre, then disbanded. In 2010, Prince-Cox, Munger and Richmond formed the band Wakeless.[14]

In March 2018, Arise and Ruin reunited to play shows in Guelph and Hamilton, Ontario.[15] [16]
