History[edit]
Predecessor Band (2011 - 2015)[edit]
Mental Creepers was the forerunner band to The Aim of Destruction and was created in the summer of 2011 by Josh Peabody while still in middle school. The band was an attempt to emulate the sound and image of Hollywood Undead, with each member having a mask, nickname, and role in vocals. The band had a revolving door of members, often changing roles. In 2013, the band eventually cemented a line-up of: Josh Peabody on vocals, bass, and guitar; Brandon Wroblewski on vocals and guitar, Max White on vocals and drums, Dom dePuglia on vocals. However this line-up didn't last when Dom dePuglia and Max White were kicked for not being active in the band. In August 2014, Ryan McCurdy was recruited to play drums and vocals. However, this would only last a few weeks before both Brandon Wroblewski and Ryan McCurdy quit the band. After this, Josh Peabody was the only lasting member. During this time, the project was renamed to "Am I Worthy?" and ditched all resemblance to Hollywood Undead. From September 2014 to April 2015, Josh Peabody wrote an entire album's worth of material, with a mix of songs leaning in the style of either Pop-punk or Alternative Metal. Upon completion of the album, Josh Peabody decided to split "Am I Worthy?" into two projects. With the split of the "Am I Worthy?" material, came the formation of The Aim of Destruction.
Formation (2015 - Present)[edit]
The Aim of Destruction was formed in El Dorado Hills on May 25th, 2015 by vocalist/lead guitarist Josh Peabody and guitarist Brandon Wroblewski. The band was created to be a more metal and collaborative effort for the two friends. However, as the band progressed, Josh Peabody started writing most of the material. In March 5th, 2016, Ryan McCurdy was recruited as the band's drummer. In May 2016, Josh Peabody joined Brandon Wroblewski and Ryan McCurdy's Blackened Death Metal band, Clandestine Revelation as a live member on vocals and rhythm guitar. Shortly after that, the two guitarists came to an understanding that Josh Peabody would be the core songwriter for The Aim of Destruction, and vice versa for Clandestine Revelation. On April 12th, 2017, Brandon Wroblewski and Ryan McCurdy left the band due to a level of disinterest in the material and being quite busy with Clandestine Revelation. On May 20, 2018, Dylan Race joined the band as rhythm guitarist and on June 2, 2018 McCurdy rejoined the band. At the end of 2019, McCurdy left the band to complete his degree at Chico State. On March 23, 2020, Race passed away. In February 2023, Wroblewski rejoined the project. On February 17, 2024, Wroblewski was removed from the band due to commitment issues.
