Names that fit perfectly to locate this bands Sound. Somewhere inbetween Maroon and Neaera, ?Ruins Afire? offers ten tracks of pure destruction. Ten modern HC-Metal-grenades that are dressed to mosh with melodic guitars meeting straight-forward drumming mixed up with loads of groove and a bunch of HC-Shouts for your ears.
