First Claw 01:06
We shall stand midnight clad. As the talons of a murdered God.
2.
Remain inside The chains of our lives Will claw at your breath Until none is left. Remain inside. Weakened by pain There at your gates Burdened with a debt Of innocence. Remain inside. Wash away all that pains you Solemn voices comfort me Only sounds of that mourning Lay upon holy ground Stay awake Ruthless escape Remain inside
3.
Michigan Mud 06:00
How old you are The same as me Fire from afar No one can leave Won't hold this form Patient heart Don't make me live As you did Bruises upon Our ribs Won't hold this form Patient heart Die before I Take back my life
4.
Aconite 09:41
It doesn't hurt to bend the bark Draw the limbs, to pull a part Ourselves Careless a life forsworn Venerate the dead I mourn Reverie of what could be Falls away to nothing Broken, beaten Struggling, to breathe Endless, quiet Begging, to believe Forgive these words This road's too long Woven shade Just before the dawn Trade my life Where does it belong Who's to say We've never Left our graves
5.
I won't stay To become What I create For so long I have walked Beside what I hate There comes a past Before the birth Don't pretend That we're the first They were wrong to decide our fates Kill the cross, burn the faith they left behind It's all the same We let them win Kill the gods And let's begin To live.

Alethea 11:05
Honest breathe inscribed in red Callous want bleached upon Dying words, sunken verbs Ink clots beneath thieve's font Hemorrhaged vows Ashen whispers Caustic myth Barren ether Leave me to rot This hate I fought Begged for scorn Wrought animus Fault in solice Open your mind to find our trust
7.
The only thing holding me here is You smile, your hope Lost along these rows Make me feel anything at all

about

Breaching through the oblique perceptions of what is expected from a drum and bass duo, Ruined’s first full length release “Woven Shade” spans the spectrum of distortion and tragedy. Tales of regret and sanguine youth ripple in familiar waters. Squalls of fuzz driven noise crash among cudgel raked drums within cavernous walls of granite. While balanced moments of serenity celebrate the unity of crystalline bass melodies and ethereal vocals. “Woven Shade” shares the pain that we may never be able to return home but that we must not brave the woods alone. Fans of both metallic shoegaze (“White Pony” era Deftones, Jesu ), somber gloom (Have A Nice Life, Planning For Burial) and early 90’s alternative (Cocteau Twins, Codeine) are sure to find something unique among the branches of Ruined’s music.
