PHENOMENA II

Evolution drives longevity. Within the Ruins relentlessly push forward, incinerating complacency and innovating out of it's ashes. The Western Massachusetts quartet raze convention with a sonic sensory onslaught anchored by polyrhythmic bludgeoning, head-nodding grooves, viscerally evocative vocals, and vivid storytelling. Their controlled chaos has resulted in tens of millions of streams (a rarity for acts this uncompromisingly heavy), packed houses on tour, and widespread acclaim courtesy of Alternative Press, American Songwriter, Loudwire, Metal Injection, Phoenix New Times, and many more. Now, they continue to evolve on their seventh full-length offering, Phenomena II [MNRK Heavy]. "When you listen to us, we hope you feel like you found some fresh metal," notes Joe. "After doing anything for a long time, it's easy to get stuck in your ways. So, we always try to present something you haven't heard before-and you aren't going to get anywhere else."
