AmongRuins were born in 2011 as an idea for a small side-project in Sverd's (Vocals, Bass) mind. At the time, he was playing along with George (Drums) and Thanos (Guitars) in a symphonic metal band (Bare Infinity), with which they had 2 discographic releases and accumulated numerous gigs in Europe.

Sverd started writing music along with George, and soon the band's debut was composed. AmongRuins was a way for them to express themselves differently, more aggressively, in both a musical and lyrical sense than they did in their other band.

Recordings for the album took place in late 2011 at Sound Symmetry Studio (engineered by Bob Katsionis), and Thanos joined them along the way. Soon after the album was recorded, in January 2012, Bare Infinity disbanded, and AmongRuins were elevated from a side project to a full-time band. Shortly after, the band's debut album was mixed & mastered (engineered & produced by Victor Berkan at Studio Victory).

In late 2012, the band parted ways with former guitar player Pete, and George (Guitars) filled his spot. The band, its members always having live performance quality as a top priority, spent a few months rehearsing and preparing for live shows, and since March 2013, they have started performing live shows in Greece.

Late 2013, the band signed with the Austrian label Noisehead Records for the release of their debut album 'Bring Out Your Dead' (release date: October 17th 2013), and did a mini-tour with Wolfheart in Greece.

On May 20, 2016 they are releasing their second album 'No Light' which was produced by Tuomas Saukkonen (Wolfheart, Before The Dawn) and mixed and mastered at Deep Noise Studios (Finland), via OneManArmy. The band is currently preparing for another successful tour with Wolfheart and more gigs in Greece and abroad.
