Ruins not to be confused with the band from Germany are a band from Australia that mixes second wave black metal with dark death metal and thrash and this is a review of their 2013 album "Place Of No Pity" which will be released by Listenable Records.
Drums range from slow, mid paced to fast drumming with not much in the way of blast beats, while the bass playing has a very dark tone with riffs that follow the riffing that are coming out of the guitars and at times they have a very powerful sound to them.
Rhythm guitars range from slow, mid paced to fast riffs that combine raw and primitive sounding black metal with the darkest form of death metal and thrash together to create a sound of their own and there are no guitar solos or leads present on this recording.
Vocals are all Tom G Warrior style growls and grunts as well as a brief spoken word part, while the lyrics cover dark themes, as for the production it has a very strong, powerful, dark and heavy sound to it where you can hear all of the musical instruments that are present on this recording with some of the songs being long and epic in length.
In my opinion Ruins are a very great sounding hybrid of black, dark, and thrash metal and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Inhabit The Twilight" "Winters Will" "Let The Perish" and "Oath". RECOMMENDED BUY.
