  • Spine on rhythm and lead guitars, contributing chainsaw-like riffs and haunting backing vocals.

  • D-Muerte unleashing a relentless barrage on drums, using unique props like coffins and an AK-47 for that extra edge.

  • MJS commanding the main vocals while adding additional guitar layers that enhance the track's intensity.


It has already generated a buzz within the metal community. Fans are eagerly anticipating what each band brings to the table, and RUIN’s “Damnation” is set to lead the charge with its fierce homage.
