2008 saw the formation of Age of Collapse as a San Diego based atmospheric crust band. Two years, a split LP and tour demo later Xavier joined, bringing a second guitar layer to the mix. 2011 saw the release of the debut LP on Aborted Society Records, Burden of Beast. Age of Collapse have crafted a very experimental take on crust; blurring lines and sometimes toppling over into completely different musical realms. Their sound is personified by large, crushing distortion, chaotic tempo changes and haunting, reverb drenched cleans. Fast paced punk inspired riffs meld with harmonizing guitars more traditionally reserved for British new wave of heavy metal bands. Whether it be brutal, passionate or furious, Age of Collapse have carved their own niche and sound into the hardcore genre.

"Hands That Take" Lyrics:
In this, the change of the tides,
we see the new dawn of the toil of our hands.
Hands that tear. Hands that take.

We will all stand by vacantly and watch in a state of disarray
as selfish hands make unmarked graves in oily water.
And Somewhere in the distance the last light of hope begins to fade.

We've offset a balance as old as time.
Eons of progress, unmade by our hands.
Will tear drops in water really matter?
Will Mother Ocean's final plea?

You can apologize to your children
for a blue world they will never know.
You will apologize...for what they'll never know.
