MONOLITH OF WRATH Sun crashes through my window Moon falls asleep in my bed Wide awake I’m filled with violence Of the voices in my head So eloquent they speak to me I feel the madness rise One pill to numb this pounding Another pill to close my eyes Moonless midnight of my mind Moonless midnight of my…. Old wounds will always haunt me Time has a way with words One pill to numb this feeling Another pill to calm my nerves Moonless midnight of my mind Moonless midnight of my… Of my mind… Of my mind… The moonless midnight of my mind Esoteric dissonance The soothing sound of silence But once the heavy starts to hit Feel the wrath of the monolith Moonless midnight of my mind Moonless midnight… Blue skies are sacrificed Let the witching hour come One pill to numb this pressure Another pill to kill the sun

MORIENDO RENASCOR Life and death And time remind us Leave the dust Of past behind us Mourn the memories Of our mistakes Take our secrets To the grave Blessed is The beast that rises From the ashes Of our vices Warnings that must be conveyed Truth is not in being saved Like a phoenix on the bone In death we are reborn Feel the fire Burn and scorn Moriendo Renascor Like a phoenix on the bone In death we are reborn Feel the fire Burn and scorn Moriendo Renascor In this garden filled with Earthly vanities Temptation lies Divine salvation only comes To those who die Spirits come And give us light Haunting hearts As black as night When the skies Turn dark and grey The dead will have their way Like a phoenix on the bone In death we are reborn Feel the fire Burn and scorn Moriendo Renascor Like a phoenix on the bone In death we are reborn Feel the fire Burn and scorn Moriendo Renascor This too shall pass So come what may Your tomorrow is today Each night I go to sleep And mourn When I wake I am reborn

GOD IS A GIRL WITH A BUTCHER KNIFE Red are the lips With a tongue so sharp Kiss her mouth And cut out her heart I can feel the heat From the sun I scorn The sicken of the calm Who know the storm Suffer Love her Death is the veil Which those who live call life They sleep and it’s lifted God is a girl with butcher knife A butcher knife Black is the hair With the skin so white Drown her sins In the pale moonlight I can feel the earth Bleed beneath my feet The strength of the dirt Where the flesh is weak Suffer Lover Death is the veil Which those who live call life They sleep and it’s lifted God is a girl with butcher knife Music, when harsh voices die Vibrates in the memory And so will thoughts When thou art is gone My words shall live on Death is the veil Which those who live call life They sleep and it’s lifted God is a girl with butcher knife The mistress of the verbal hand grenade Be my muse The good book speaks to those Who seek the truth But where’s the proof An eye for an eye A tooth for a tooth

HERETIC DREAMS Myths are flowers Of imagination They grow freely Fed by mystery Watered by our hopes And faith in metaphor Dressed up in the truth They beautifully adorn Gardens of our minds reborn Resurrected from the past We left behind Religion Just like superstition Is the weed That strangles reason Blood is beauty Flowing from the veins Of inspiration to our hearts Beating as our dreams And real life collide Decorated in our sins We shed our skins Strengthen our lungs Breathe and kill the demons With the magic Of our tongues Religion Just like superstition Is the weed That strangles reason The image of the lord Has been replaced By a mirror And the Devil’s face A virtuous heretic Shall be saved Before a wicked Christian preys Religion Just like superstition Is the weed That strangles reason Religion Just like superstition Is the weed That strangles reason

HONEY OF THE HUMAN SOUL We fall into hell And feel the slow burn All over us Intoxicated by the sound Darkness covers us Deep inside the abyss With voices in the air Crimson skies Open wide While sunlight Says a prayer The pain inside Is hard to hide Our scars are Sung in lullabies Sung in lullabies At night We start to dream And the wind Begins to follow us Now every wall In our room Just wants to swallow us Underneath I breathe A sigh of relief Turn the volume to ten Just to hear myself scream The pain inside is hard to hide Our scars are sung in lullabies Sung in lullabies At night I lose myself In the chaos That comes with the day Collaborate on the clouds So I can feel safe The music comes to me Just like a friend And comforts me A guilty conscious Will confess While words Are haunting me The pain inside Is hard to hide Our scars are Sung in lullabies Sung in lullabies We store the honey Of our human souls Inside our tears Gathered on wings of misery We let go of our fears We choose to let our moods Create our escape Turn off the world And now we’re Floating in space

INSOMNIAC MOON Winter seems so far away… I open my mouth And I can taste the heat of the South Baptized in Whisky I worship the sound Thick like clouds under the Tennessee sky Damned and divine Every summer has a story And this one is mine The high priestess of prophecy I preach my sermons To the cicadas in the trees Heavy with the holiness of his riffs I bleed The Southern sun Will light the room With secrets of the moon Secrets of the moon I close my eyes And come alive Inside the sacred mood The sacred mood Night falls and the fireflies Surround me like rain I can hear the distant thunder of August Immaculate in its pain This is the ballad Of a blasphemous girl The lament of an insomniac A dirge for the sacrosanct Doomed with the Rumble of the deep I pray my soul Will continue to speak As the low end strangles me The Southern sun Will light the room With secrets of the moon Secrets of the moon I close my eyes And come alive Inside the sacred moon The sacred mood The Southern sun Will light the room With secrets of the moon Secrets of the moon I close my eyes And come alive Inside the sacred moon The sacred mood Beauty for some provides an escape For others... An exquisite dying

HOUR OF THE WOLF The iron tongue of midnight No one will see her standing here Between the mortal and the muse Our darkest evening of the year These hills have riffs These woods have words So deep they're buried in them I cross my heart and hope to live Pray all is forgiven In this the hour of the wolf She gives into her greatest fear A beating heart becomes a scream The only sound that she can hear These hills have riffs These woods have words So deep they're buried in them I cross my heart and hope to live Pray all is forgiven It is the hour When most people die Sleep is deepest And nightmares are real These woods are lovely Dark and deep But I have secrets I must keep Words to say before I sleep Words to say before I... These hills have riffs These woods have words So deep they're buried in them I cross my heart And hope to live Pray all is forgiven These woods have history These hills are filled with memories I close my eyes and see The beauty in my blasphemy These woods are lovely Dark and deep But I have secrets I must keep Words to say before I sleep Words to say before I…

Del Riche 03:58
DEL RICHE Still feel the pretty poison That's coursing Through your veins Your silent analogue heart No longer beats But it remains A hard reminder Of your past Distant memory An unapologetic thief Transformed herself Into Del Riche Del Riche Complicated identity But I remember Who you used to be The fallacy whereby a goose Believes that she’s a swan Pretend you’re someone else But all your character is gone A work in progress to erase Traces of your fame True metamorphosis Is more than just Changing your name Del Riche Complicated identity But I remember Who you used to be Beauty is only skin deep But ugly goes clean to the bone The human heart feels things The eyes cannot see alone Complicated identity But I remember Who you used to be The vultures they still circle Within the words I wrote Your skeletons have not grown skin But there is always…hope

THE HARSH LIGHT OF DAY Shut the drapes And the world drops dead Sometimes it’s nice to forget Why suffer from another sunrise Dying is an art like everything else So heavy is my heart So dead in comfort I am numb The luxury of sleep Eludes me Close my eyes And the room turns red Sometimes it’s nice to pretend Why bother with another sunset Dying is an art like everything else So heavy is my heart So dead in comfort I am numb The luxury of sleep Eludes me Just one more pill to take And maybe I won’t recognize The harsh light of day These are my hands My knees My scars Oh Lady Lazarus Come and speak to me Dark side of happy is despair Oh Spirits of the night Forgive my restless mind From ashes I will rise And eat my enemies like air Just one more pill to take And maybe I won’t recognize The harsh light of day

Trouble 02:30
TROUBLE If you're looking for trouble You came to the right place If you're looking for trouble Just look right in my face I was born standing up And talking back My daddy was a Green-eyed mountain jack Cause I'm evil M middle name is misery Yeah baby Well I'm evil So don't you mess around with me I've never looked for trouble But I've never ran I don't take no orders From no kind of man I'm only made out Of flesh, blood and bone But if you're gonna start a rumble Don't you try it all alone Cause I'm evil My middle name is misery Yeah baby That’s what I said… Well I'm evil So don't you mess around with me I'm evil, evil, evil As can be… I'm evil, evil, evil As can be So don't mess around Don’t, don't mess around with me I'm evil…I'm evil…evil…evil… So don't mess around Don't mess around with me I'm evil…evil… So don't mess around with me Yeah

◄| The Sacred Mood / Press Quotes |►

"Top 10 Female Metal Singers: #4. Tairrie B. (My Ruin) - Before she was the front woman for Southern-tinged LA-based rockers My Ruin, Tairrie B.'s career can be traced back to 1990, when she recorded a rap album for Eazy-E, entitled The Power of a Woman. Shortly after this album, she decided to pursue a different sound, and formed the alternative metal band Manhole, which later morphed into the darker Tura Satana, and eventually My Ruin, in 1999. Today, My Ruin's music is a head banger friendly blend Black Sabbath, Motorhead, Type O Negative and Corrosion of Conformity with whiskey, weed, aggression and religious themes and imagery. The band also features Tairrie's husband and musical partner, guitar virtuoso Mick Murphy. Tairrie has always had an intense voice, which just screamed for metal, reminiscent of a female Phil Anselmo mixed with Bon Scott. Tairrie's confrontational lyrics often attack hypocrisy, sexism and misogyny, while remaining personal, and sometimes religious in nature."

"10 Best Metal Guitarists: #3. Mick Murphy (My Ruin) - This talented, mutli instrumentalist and songwriter, for the LA based rock/metal band My Ruin (featuring Murphy's wife of a decade, Tairrie B) is a guitar virtuoso that is one of LA's best-kept secrets in terms of shredders. He is not afraid about being in a now guitar centric rock band, with fuzzy distorted rhythms and riffs as thick as his sideburns. Murphy's talent with a guitar is evident once you seem him live, in often-cathartic performances. His influences are worn on his sleeve and often shirt, and consist of everything from punk, classic rock, hard rock and stoner metal. Murphy's true talent can be heard and seen in My Ruin, where his approach has added more of a old school rock based, doomy, classic metal sound to Mrs. Murphy's lyrics. In a 2009 article, Guitar Player Magazine wrote that Murphy is “One of the most ferocious and creative hard rock guitarists you'll ever hear underground, above ground or bouncing off satellites.” Aside from being a song writer and the guitarist of My Ruin, Murphy also lends his guitar playing abilities to the 70s hard rock/metal cover band, Chevy Metal, featuring Taylor Hawkins of the Foo Fighters.

- Alex Distefano | OC Weekly 2013
-------------------------------------
"Here’s a question to ponder: is it better to mellow as we get older, or to keep the fire in our belly lit, the blood quickening and the coals glowing? For some bands, the answer will always overwhelmingly and obviously be the latter. One such band is underground heavy rock legends My Ruin.They (and vocalist Tairrie B. Murphy in particular) have been known for their vigorous, fiery ’fuck you' music since their formation in 1999. The album opens in suitably urgent fashion with the ’Sabbath-on-steroids’ groove of ’Monolith of Wrath’, with its rage-filled lyrics and belligerent roars from Mrs. B. Mick Murphy’s wailing guitar solo is also a crowning point. The spectacular ’Moriendo Renascor’ follows next, surely the highlight of the album. Latin for ’In death I am reborn’, the song charges along on a darkly frantic beat, in the vein of Southern rock but sped up and tuned down. The deep, thick groove matches Tairrie B’s amazing vocals perfectly, whilst the raggedly intertwined hopelessness and hope in the lyrics ('Spirits come and give us light, haunting hearts as black as night') encapsulate the entire album’s ethos to a ’T\’. Mrs Murphy’s well-known appreciation for Nick Cave’s work, plus her earlier incarnation as a rapper have naturally resulted in a love of spoken words throughout the band’s songs (as well as a side project, The LVRS). Thus, ’The Sacred Mood’ contains spoken word verses in the likes of the extraordinarily titled ’God Is a Girl With a Butcher Knife’, with its squealing guitar intro, autobiographical and vaguely blasphemous lyrics; the Tennessee-drenched, ominous tone of ’Insomniac Moon’ and the tale of a former friend’s betrayal in the fiercely scornful ’Del Riche’, which contains not only some of the best lyrics on the album ('Beauty is only skin deep, but ugly goes right to the bone'), but also hands down the best of Tairrie B’s screams (at the end of the above couplet). Musically the album is abundantly strong, due to both the outstanding production and the talents of guitarist/drummer Mick Murphy and Argentinian bassist Luciano Ferrea. Muphy’s guitar solos, whilst applied sparingly, are always devastatingly effective, while Ferrea’s deep, doomy bass is the chugging groove foundation upon which every song is built. For her part, Tairrie B. is in blistering form; her alternately screamed, crooned and spoken word vocals often sound as if they are being ripped from her: painful but cathartic, necessary. ’The Sacred Mood’ is a less blind-rage-filled album than ’a Southern Revelation’, which was fueled by label issues and so on, and was brimming with bitterness and ferocity at the ’business’ of music. ’Sacred’, whilst still containing the occasional pot-shot at others and the anti-organized religion ’Heretic Dreams’, containing the brilliantly dismissive line 'Religion, just like superstition, is the weed that strangles reason'), refers more to personal concerns: insomnia, depression, nightmares and so on. It is a more reflective, introspective album in that sense. All of which makes the band’s choice of album closer more of a surprise. A storming, blazing cover of Elvis Presley’s ’Trouble’ (the OTHER highlight of this album) sees Tairrie B. pulling out all the stops in a song that almost seems to have been written for her. 'Cos I’m eeeeeeevil, my middle name is misery', she hollers over a proper, old-fashioned Sixties bluesy ambush. The song brings the album to an astonishing 'wow!' ending that leaves the listener beaming incredulously and slightly breathless. In ’The Sacred Mood’ My Ruin have created a heavy rock masterpiece. Tinged with doom, dusted with Southern rock and liberally doused with metal, this is an album that will undoubtedly feature in ’Best Of’ lists for many years to come. Oh, and that earlier question: will (or should) My Ruin ever mellow? Will they fuck. As Mrs Murphy herself growls in the closing moments of the album: 'I’m evil…evil…so don''t you mess around with me'. As statements of intent go, they don’t get much clearer than that."

- Melanie Brehaut | Metal-Rules
-------------------------------------
"Since forming in 1999, My Ruin have continued to enable metal/rock fans with an addiction. An addiction that is unable to be cured, especially with their 2014 release ‘The Sacred Mood’.Lead vocalist/wordsmith Tairrie B Murphy has been circumnavigating the musical world for many years, from her time on Eazy E’s (N.W.A) record label to the reinvention of herself in Manhole/Tura Satana, the band disbanded two albums later. In 1999 the My Ruin journey begins. ‘The Sacred Mood’ is full of blistering screaming guitar solos that accompany the unique and powerful style of Tairrie B, who is THE greatest female vocalist around. This is proven, on Moriendo Renascor, a highlight (or darklight) of the album, her clean singing surrounding the solos, forcing the earth to shake and the dead to rattle back to life.‘God is a Girl with a Butcher knife’ will go down as being the best song title of the year and is a tune that encompasses passion. ‘Insomniac Moon’, the ballad of the blasphemous girl, quoted by the lady of metal herself, Mrs B Murphy with her sinister edge, sings from the heart on her blasphemous girl sleeve. Lifted from ‘Honey of the Human Soul’, “the pain inside is hard to hide, our scars are sung in lullabies, sung in lullabies” is confidently screamed by a front-person who believes in what she is singing. But what stands out is the hard bass-lines by Luciano Ferrea, deep and penetrating, I listened to the album on full volume and felt quite violated! The myriad of feelings that My Ruin make you go through is crazy, ‘The Harsh Light of Day’ is pedal to the metal and with someone like multi-instrumentalist Mick Murphy on board who is always able to add a different style to the proceedings which Tairrie B creeps in with some sensitive but stalker-ish vocals that would befit a Chuck Palahniuk book turned movie. Over the years, bands cover songs that try to be like the owner, but My Ruin give it their own vibe. With final track ‘Trouble’, the Elvis track, yeah Elvis Presley. ‘Trouble’ screams from the roof tops what My Ruin fans already know and why their talent far exceeds many bands out there who are too afraid to change and speak from their hearts. A solid career in the music world is what My Ruin have, not by sitting around wondering “why not me”, they get up and make their fingers bleed to get a sound that fits their moment. The Sacred Mood in this listener’s opinion (and opinions are like arseholes in that everyone’s got one) is their greatest achievement, so listen to the evolution of My Ruin.

- Mark Wincott - Muso Muso
-------------------------------------
"Tairrie B and her crew combine the sacred and the profane. On their new offering The Sacred Mood, My Ruin build on their signature sound by combining elements of stoner metal, Southern rock and hardcore. Multi-instrumentalist Mick Murphy along with bassist Luciano Ferrea provides a backdrop of heavy grooves, monstrous bass and squealing guitar solos, against which Tairrie B delivers her scathing, saturnine vocals in low husky tones and furious screams. Through her lyrics Tairrie is always keen to divulge the brutal truth in an acerbic yet eloquent way. Through her lyrics Tairrie is always keen to divulge the brutal truth in an acerbic yet eloquent way and The Sacred Mood is no different; from Monolith Of Wrath’s insomniac blues to Heretic Dreams’ anti-pious poetry, her pen is as poisonous as ever. God Is A Girl With A Butcher Knife _begins with sultry spoken-word verses before building up into a whirlwind of pure visceral anger, while Insomniac Moon has dense, lush ambient sounds. The album ends, unexpectedly, with a thoroughly enjoyable cover of Elvis’s Trouble, in which Tairrie shrieks ‘I’m evil!’ with palpable glee. With huge backbeats and riffs galore, this album won’t disappoint fans."

- Catherine Morris | Metal Hammer U.K.
-------------------------------------
"Melding the hardcore attitude that emerged on A Prayer Under Pressure of Violent Anguish (2000) with a darker, doomier atmosphere that began to brew in 2010’s Ghosts And Good Stories, the My Ruin of 2013 is an entirely different beast to the Tairrie B solo project that came kicking and screaming with Speak and Destroy at the tail-end of last century. With each new release My Ruin hone their unique brand of noise, but this one has nailed the blend of heaviness and accessibility so perfectly that this could well be the album of their career."

- Dani Hawkins | One Metal U.K.
-------------------------------------
"My Ruin have carved themselves a reputation for street level in-your-face bad-assedness, albeit only amongst those that look for their metal and mayhem outside the confines of big record label business. The ultimate do-it-yourself outfit led by vocalist/wordsmith Tairrie B. Murphy and guitarist/multi-instrumentalist Mick Murphy – the wife and husband team par excellence – My Ruin have slugged it out for the last several years as independent artists (even with a record deal), turning in some positively brash and pointedly aggressive work for the masses to swallow. The Sacred Mood follows on the heels of A Southern Revelation’s ultra-violence, making the descent into the Murphy maelstrom somewhat slower this time out. It’s worth noting that The Sacred Mood goes off without a single profane word (!!!) crossing her lips."

- Carl Begai | Brave Words
-------------------------------------
"My Ruin has quietly (or loudly) forged a solid career for themselves based on integrity and the quality of the music. On their just released 8th album Tairrie B. along with her husband and talented multi-instrumentalist Mick Murphy not only continues to push the envelope, but has managed to bring things to an even higher level. Tairrie B. has always managed to produce music that is vital, relevant and significant and with 'The Sacred Mood' those traits are still present.From the slow build of the opening riff of 'Monolith of Wrath', this is My Ruin at their very best. Mick Murphy’s huge guitar sound is all over 'The Sacred Mood' and 'Moriendo Renascor' (the translation of this is “In Death, I Am Reborn”) is a great example of this. In one of my previous reviews of the band, I stated “Tairrie B. spits out the lyrics with venomous contempt” and on 'The Sacred Mood' that continues to be the case.'God is a Girl with a Butcher Knife' opens with a bluesy riff as the song settles into a rumbling groove with Tairrie alternating between her spoken word and screaming styles – both styles are equally effective. For me, 'Heretic Dreams' was one of the standout tracks. Another highlight is the largely spoken word “Insomniac Moon” which offers the listener a hauntingly, melodic tune that provides tons of atmosphere. Other highlights include: “Honey of the Human Soul”, “Hour of the Wolf” and the closing cover of the Elvis Presley classic “Trouble” which My Ruin gives their own aggressive twist to. This far into the game it is hard to say that any one album is better than the other, but fans of My Ruin can take comfort in the fact that 'The Sacred Mood' is as lethal and sonically devastating as anything the band has released to date."

- Tony Cannella | Femme Metal
-------------------------------------
" Their singular, recognizable traits remain a full part of the band’s sound in 2013, but there is also welcome evolution that makes The Sacred Mood a standout album of the year. The LP is a lean, focused beast, with not a minute wasted.You have been warned."

- Graeme Blackwell | Skin Back Alley
-------------------------------------
"LA's angriest mettalers come back swinging. No one can accuse My Ruin of pandering to fads. Tairrie B Murphy for one, has certainly not mellowed over the years, especially when she lets rip on Moriendo Renascor and the doom-laden trudge of Insomniac Moon."

- Dan Slessor | Kerrang! U.K.
--------------------------------------
"When you put on a My Ruin album the rock n’ roll couple will get straight to the point, giving their loyal fan base everything they demand. So, while there is no questioning as to whether or not The Sacred Mood is another full-force, kick-ass rock n’ roll record, the question is how does it stand up to previous My Ruin offerings? Well, if you took the time to take in the intensity of the “Making of The Sacred Mood” video that the band recently posted online, then you should have the answer to that question. The Sacred Mood is basically everything you’d expect it to be but with the band turning the intensity dial up a notch or two. Guitarist Mick Murphy provides another thirty-five minutes of squealing, shredding, wailing riffs while his wife, the voice of My Ruin, Tairrie Murphy, screams, roars and recites her poetic thoughts in a manner that is equally as violent as it is eloquent. Which, looking back over the content of The Sacred Mood, is as good a way as any to describe mood of the album.
Powerful, passionate and romantic yet unashamedly brutal, the likes of “God is a Girl with a Butcher Knife” sees Murphy screaming herself hoarse while “Insomniac Moon” conjures up images of the vocalist sat up at 4am in the quiet dark, poring every thought into the lyrics of this intense part spoken-word passage. Through her lyrics, there is a whole world that Murphy explores and uncovers; it’s a world that is dark, romantic and times horrific but, at the same time, as you will find listening to the likes of the breathtaking “Moriendo Renascor”, it’s a world hard not to want to immerse yourself in.
In summary then, as you listen to each new My Ruin record you pick up a familiar mood, a familiar vibe, they just up the intensity levels. The Sacred Mood sees them pushing that dial to the next level, a level that is crushingly heavy both lyrically and musically but at the same time, painfully romantic and honest. Still, as it’s a record that comes from the hands of Mick Murphy and the mind of Tairrie Murphy, be honest, what else did you expect?

- Graham Finney | Pure Grain Audio & V13 Media
-------------------------------------
"Tairrie B, is the most well rounded front woman in metal! The D.I.Y approach that she, and the rest of My Ruin take is bad ass! She does what she wants, not what some suit tells her to do to sell records. She definitely has that rebellious punk rock, full of piss and vinegar attitude that drives the energy of the bands music. The album is a weapon of massive sound. My Ruin are metal , no doubt about it. I like to say dirty rock n roll."

- Jeff Blackburn | The Examiner
-------------------------------------
" The D.I.Y. ethos, that has been the pulsing heart of My Ruin, and has kept them original to the point of clarity. There are never blurred lines, what you see is what you need, and what you hear is the ever evolving sound of originality, and an uncompromising care about music."

- Jonathan Taylor | An Armchair Critic U.K.
-------------------------------------
"From start to finish this album is packed with raw energy and aggression; the sinister tones of album opener, 'Monolith of Wrath' the stomping rock undertones of 'Heretic Dreams' and the contorted slow-blues drenched cover of the Elvis Presley classic 'Trouble'. It's all here - My Ruin doing what they do best and doing it their way."

- Mark Doyle | The Music Press U.K.
----------------------------------------
"A potent mixture of hardcore aggression, groove metal muscle and hard rock swagger that seems to have grown out of the band’s desire to keep things real and do things on their own terms without record label backing.Their most all-encompassing album to date. Highly Recommended."

- Chris Ward | This Is Not A Scene
---------------------------------------
"On every My Ruin record, there's at least one song where Tairrie B unleashes her trademark scream --- the one that separates her from everybody else in the game. There may be others that can growl lower, can shriek higher but NO one else can deliver the pure lethal venom she is capable of spewing."

- Morley Seaver | Anti Music
----------------------------------------
"Their independence is admirable in a world consumed by greed and manipulation in the music industry. My friends the new album rocks…!"

- Katie Doherty | Black Sunday Magazine
----------------------------------------
"Sadly, there are only a handful of powerful female voices in the metal world. Tairrie B of My Ruin is one of them. The Sacred Mood further solidifies My Ruin’s signature sound, a swirling mix of chugging guitars, passionate vocals, and the occasional spoken word verse. Their cover of Elvis Presley’s “Trouble” shows the band’s less serious side—you can practically hear the wink and nod to the audience in this ode to the King."
