Are you ready to be RUINED???
i certainly wasent. After trawling through the internet and magazines looking for the best new horrorpunk talent for months, i had got used to finding bands that have the image but not the sound to back it up. When i first came across The Ruined i wasent ready for what i heard.
A crazy mix of Hot Water Music-like vocals and metallic punk rock, The Ruined are talented and im still not sure why they arent a big name on the UK rock scene, let alone the horrorpunk scene.
The album starts off with a spoken intro about the birthing of The Ruined then comes first song proper and my personal favourite 'Death Will Be A Lady' the intro of this song has more catchy riffage than most debut albums as a whole. With some impressive lead guitar lines, deep powerful drumming and strong basslines. Then comes maybe the catchyest verse i have ever heard and with the first words: 'There's No Reason To Adjust Your Point Of View' it sets the president for the political undertones throughout the album.
Next we have 'City Of The Dead' carrying on with the slight political edge and awesome sound The Ruined have written a true rock song. 'Do You Dig My Grave?' on the other hand is a straight forward fun, catchy and unforgettable horrorpunk song that is sure to be a live favourite, i mean the bass in the verse's is just incredible!!
Only at track 4 but already im blown away by the shear talent and muscianship of this band.'Generation Braindead' is such a massive song, epic if you will, the intro really helps the atmosphere build and then, it hits you like a brick to the face, the catchy verse riffs that we are now all familiar with and the sing along chanting chorus of 'Generation Braindead' this song is a true anthem.
Now we get to the next two songs which are both firmly fighting for my favourite song, 'Dead By Dawn' and 'She Must Die' are both perfect songs and continue the high-standard of music and talent. The lyrics in both songs are brilliant and easy to relate too!! and of course organs and horrorpunk = instant classic!!!!
Nearing the end of the album and we get another catchy, fun horrorpunk tune, the simply titled 'Brains', another spoken intro sets up the song and then comes the hardcore tinged song intro, this is one of the heavier and faster songs on the album but still keeps their style and sound intact!
And to end the Album we have 'Skeleton Crew', this song is both a tribute to their fans and a call to arms for all the horrorpunks that have ever been looked down on for being different!!!!
come together and get ready to be RUINED!!!!!!!!!!!!
