Like Motorhead put through a blender,  Dethscalator make music that is heavy and mentally disabled that you could place somewhere between the jabbering gush of Scratch Acid and Electric Wizard’s misery-grind. Other more contemporary reference points are Pissed Jeans and Mayyors. It’s a sick specimen with a vocalist that sounds like Oliver Reed drunk on the Michael Aspel show backed up by some of the heaviest riffs you’ve ever heard.

Formed in 1985, RUINS has been continuing to develop and deepen their world for over 18 years. Tunes are complicated and mysterious, and songs are sung in the language of their own invention. It’s high-tension, wild, heavy, speedy, acute, and powerful. RUINS started with a noisy hardcore sound, then moved into a more technical, complicated sound, performances showcase both characteristics. True hardcore progressive sound.
