Damnation A.D. formed under the name “Damnation” in 1992 by two veterans of the D.C. straight edge hardcore punk scene, songwriter/guitarist Ken Olden and vocalist Mike McTernan (who is the brother of producer Brian McTernan ). After the band Worlds Collide broke up, featuring Ken Olden on guitar and Hillel Halloway on bass, Damnation began as a studio project; on their early single releases, Olden plays drums in addition to guitar. Signing with Jade Tree Records , the group added several new members and changed their name to Damnation A.D. in order to avoid confusion with punk group Damnation. After releasing a split 7-inch single with Walleye, they released their debut full-length in 1995. An EP followed in 1996 as did tours with Ignite and Earth Crisis . In 1998, the group left Jade Tree for Revelation Records and released their second album, Kingdom of Lost Souls , in 1998.
