Having only been in the public eye since January 2009, Ruins of Earth have already played over 60 shows, including 2 UK tours with the likes of Viatrophy and Shadow Law. The band was formed by guitarists Daniel Smith and Andrew Wilson, who were soon met by drummer Thomas Brooker, creating the foundations of what would later become Ruins of Earth. The current line up was finalized by vocalist Colin Russell and new bassist Fred McCauley. Their long anticipated debut EP 'Ashes of the Ocean' is now finally available (as of the 21.01.10) featuring 5 tracks of technically tinged thrash metal with brutal breakdowns and soaring melodic passages. The band are set to destroy the UK with their devastating live show in support of this new release, which is sure to pave the way for Ruins of Earth to deliver a shockwave amongst the overcrowded metal scene.

The band includes Colin Parkinson — Bass & Vocals (who released vendetta with the dead relatives on universal records in 2002). Drew Lowe — Guitar & Backing vocals and Lucas van Rensburg VIII — Drums & Backing vocals. Colin and Drew are actually cousins and Lucas is a mate of theirs.

Although the band are a three pice they don’t sound like it, the sound that they produce is reminiscant of Muse, it just resonates through the speakers and fills the room with catchy, melodic and anthem sounding tunes. The songs are well worth a listen and the musicianship on them is superb especially the solo on make it on my own.

The songs have a laid back feel to them, although at times the band crank up the energy and the result is brilliant. The band have an amazing chemistry, possibly helped that two thirds of them are related.
