Light This City
was an American metalcore band from the Bay Area of San Francisco that formed in 2002. They released one independent album and three albums with Prosthetic Records before disbanding in 2008. Tyler Gamien and Ben Murray were the co-founders of Reflections of Ruin Records, where they released The Hero Cycle
which was the band's (and the label's) first official release. They are notable for being one of the few death metal bands having a female lead vocalist.
Their albums featured collaborations with renowned musicians such as Chuck Billy of Testament, and Trevor Strnad of The Black Dahlia Murder.
After disbanding, Laura Nichol (vocalist), and Ben Murray (drummer) formed a punk rock band called Heartsounds.
