Catchy Black Metal: Germany's OLD RUINS dropped new single + music video!

OLD RUINS can be rightly classified as BLACK METAL, whereby the resourceful German formation has created its own, very individual style with many influences from the areas of Heavy, Doom and Melodic Metal and has been a highly regarded name ever since their first demos on YouTube and, in particular, their magnificent debut album.

BACKFLASH

OLD RUINS was founded in 2019 and was initially supposed to be a pure studio project of drummer Alexander Czernik and singer/lead guitarist Christian Krajewski. But the thus only really hungry players quickly developed a damn dark, very atmospheric sound, which is still not easy to categorize and which remains not least because of this permanently as fascinating as exciting and wear-free.

Just as OLD RUINS were making their first plans for their stage debut, the Lord of Destruction had other plans and brought a pandemic upon the world. However, OLD RUINS were not discouraged by this and began in August 2020 with the recordings of the completely convincing 6-track debut EP "Old Ruins", which physically and digitally passed the gates of hell on November 06, 2020 and brought darkness from the heart of the Ruhr area over Tristram. 


On September 15, 2023, OLD RUINS released their debut full-length album, titled "Always Heading East", on Doc Gator Records, demonstrating the label’s impeccable taste.
