Tumultuous Ruin are a solo project from Los Angeles, California that plays a very raw form of red & anarchist black metal and this is a review of his 2023 album "An Abscess on The Heart Of The State" which will b e released in September as a joint effort between Fiadh Productions and Vita Detestabilis Records.
A very fast, raw and melodic sound starts off the album along with a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams while all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them and synths can also be heard in certain sections of the recording.
Growls can also be heard at times while the songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style along with a couple of tracks also adding in a good amount of spoken word parts and samples, clean playing can also b e heard briefly.
Tumultuous Ruin plays a style of red & anarchist black metal that is very raw and diverse sounding sounding. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics are inspired by the books "Against His-Tory, Against Leviathan", "Ishamel", "Desert", "How To Blow Up A Pipeline" "The Dispossessed" the 1991 film "Clear Cut" and a general desire to destroy all systems of oppression.
In my opinion Tumultuous Ruin are a very great sounding raw, red & anarchist black metal solo project and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Destroy What Destroys Us" "Revel in Downfall" and "Last Rites Of The Dying World". 8 out of 10.
