With age comes wisdom and with each new chapter, an evolution. The elimination of tension by bringing it to consciousness and exorcising it with expression. The haunting “Ghosts and Good Stories” gave us the reckoning that was “A Southern Revelation” to which we went to war and struck a chord. The pen is mightier than the sword.
The Sacred Mood was our final offering of musical catharsis. The process of releasing and thereby providing relief from strong or repressed emotions. A purification. A cleansing through art. To scream is the very definition of a powerful cathartic ritual and journey through the human heart.
As I look back on our 9 albums in loving memory, I remember the blood, sweat and tears that often went into creating these songs with the man who still stands beside me today. "The Cathartic Collection" is a celebration of our relationship and a reflection of 20 years together in and around My Ruin. The beautiful brutality, the happiness and pain, the raw throat, the heavy riffs, the sacred and profane.
