Yeah this is lethal, just at the last tune now.  Immediately great, plenty in it to keep you coming back.

Can't stop thinking about the break around 4 minutes into Kromlec'h Knell

Man, what a great album. Have all of TROB on vinyl and this will be following suit.
I also love the fact that the new album cover actually represents the album title. So rare nowadays...
As an aside, how fucking great are all of the song titles on all of the TROB albums?

Yeah this is top class alright.  I picked up the digital on Bandcamp Friday but will grab a vinyl copy later on in the year.

New album on the way from this other mad scientist too.

QuotePeople, by the end of the year The Ruins Of Beverast will release a new album via Ván Records.
The album is entitled "Tempelschlaf" and features seven songs, produced by Michael Zech at the Church Of Sound, mastered by V. Santura.
Displayed is Jordan Barlow's album artwork.
Here's the tracklist:
1 - Tempelschlaf
2 - Day Of The Poacher
3 - Cathedral Of Bleeding Statues
4 - Alpha Fluids
5 - Babel, You Scarlet Queen!
6 - Last Theatre Of The Sea
7 - The Carrion Cocoon
Further details and samples will follow in good time.

For me, even though I'd place their pinnacle way back with Foulest Semen and rarely revisit the last two, Exuvia and The Thule Grimoires, this is imo nevertheless another project with a full discography winning streak, so definitely eager to hear what's coming next.

Exuvia is amazing. Completely forgot about the follow up.

The last two albums were great. Its the shitty production on Rain that ruins that album for me. Would love to see them again when touring the new LP but probably not much chance of an Irish headline show again after the last ones.

Exuvia is unreal alright. These days I revisit either that or the first two albums. Wasn't as mad on the last one but it's still very good. Interested to see where he goes next.

I'd recommend you go back to Rain. I did at some point and it's now up there as potentially my favourite.

It's a great back catalogue to immerse ones self of an evening, that's my evening sorted. The Thule Grimoires is just a different beast, personally I love the atmosphere and reach for it regularly. So many fantastic bands releasing new material good times.

Exuvia didn't click with me at the time and I never really went back to it. Must rectify that. The Thule Grimoires is cracking. A superb band, overall. Hoping this release is of the standard.

Happy days. Didn't know they had new stuff out. Sounds amazing, as expected.

EDIT: It appears I didn't listen to their latest offering at all, and confused it for new stuff
At least I have something to listen to today

I will try again but I have tried loads of times already.

Foulest Semen was the high point for me. I didn't really get in to the following two albums at all. Must get them back on rotation seeing as I'm driving an antique with a cd tray and no working Bluetooth  :laugh:

Then I'll check out the newest gear. Was great excitement back in the day when Ruins first started playing live. Was some experience those early gigs.
