Age of Apocalypse

Age of Apocalypse is a New York-based hardcore/metalcore crew that emerged in 2019, blending raw aggression with melodic urgency. Fronted by vocalist Carson Pace (formerly of Sanction), the band carves out a sound that’s both punishing and introspective, pairing metallic riffage with emotionally charged lyrics about personal turmoil and societal decay. They’ve built a reputation through blistering live shows and releases like *Gilded Hatred* and *In Oblivion*, showcasing their knack for merging chaotic breakdowns with haunting melodies. Signed to DAZE, a hub for boundary-pushing hardcore, they’ve dropped collabs like their 2023 *Split* with Pain of Truth and tracks like *The Patriot*, proving their stake in the genre’s evolution.

While their name nods to a classic X-Men storyline, Age of Apocalypse grounds its themes in real-world grit, tackling topics like mental health and existential dread without losing that mosh-ready energy. Their 2023 EP *The Way* and singles like *Fury* further cement their balance of technical precision and unhinged passion, making them a standout in today’s metallic hardcore wave.
