Nice! The Rotting Christ influence still prominent, but those Division Bell era Dave Gilmour style singing sections were unexpected...and excellent!

Threw on the single there. Sounds decent and as was mentioned, the cleaner section coming out of the blue at 1 minute in really gave it something.
Mighty - thanks chaps. It was time to mix up the vocals a bit. Several of the other songs to follow have clean sung vocals on them too (or a mixture of styles)...

Sounds good,look forward to hearing the rest of it.
Yes the clean vox are a stroke of genius, very unexpected when the come in!
Obligatory guitar play-through video!

Its Bandcamp Friday! If you feel like supporting FOR RUIN, today is a great day to do it as Bandcamp are waiving their (substantial!) fees again today so they dont take their cut. There are CD copies of Ater Angelus still remaining on CD and bunch of digital releases (including the new ELAPSE EP)... thanks for your support... more new music coming in early 2021!
