Aradaan I have no clue why this was recommended to me 5 years after its release date, but I am glad it was.

This is never going to be my favorite album, but I hear a hint of Laiho in that voice so the purchase was inevitable.

I read on the band's FB profile that the founder guitarist left, and they haven't posted anything there since 2017.

Based on this I expect this band to be dead, but I hope I am wrong. I see a lot of potential in them. I hope they make a comeback.

Best of luck to you! Favorite track: Reflection.

Monia Lisa So brutal! So melodic! So good!! Insert coins and turn the volume up! Favorite track: Severed.
Morts

Morts Riffs and melody aplenty in this EP of death metal reminiscent of early In Flames to some degree, though not entirely so. Ruins Of Humanity are showing that they can wear their influences well without sounding derivative of any of them specifically. Great stuff, every track a winner! Favorite track: Enemy in the mirror.

Fuck you and all that you´ve done Everytime you used and hurt me All things are said except one You were never even worth me Fuck you i hope you suffer for a lifetime, for eternity With a spit upon your face i set myself free Not a single tear shall fall from these opened eyes What i once had loved i now despise. All the moments and memories are rotting in disgrace I bury all i felt for you and piss upon the grave All those times i was there for you Now i won´t be there anymore I know i´m worth something better than a lying, filthy whore All those times i was there for you Now i won´t be there anymore All those times you could count on me Now with a smile i watch you fall Now who of us is the damaged ? Whom of us is weak ? As you crawl in the shit you created and cry yourself to sleep Don´t tell your lies to me I won´t believe them anymore Don´t come crawling back for me All my feelings are gone All those times i was there for you Now i won´t be there anymore I know i´m worth something better than a lying, filthy whore All those times i was there for you Now i won´t be there anymore All those times i stood by your side Now with a smile i watch it all die

Reflection 05:16
The will to fight faded away My whole being turned into grey The inner battles were all in vain Just useless efforts to break from the chains I have tried to get free, find another way Still every tomorrow repeats yesterday I have tried to run. I have tried to hide Now i finally surrender the war with my mind. Now my heart is blackened, filled with agony Product of society What you have forced me to be But the face in the mirror forever i will despise Picture of all things i hate, reflection of mankind Time has come to kneel and accept defeat twenty years in vain i´ve searched for a higher reason to live No matter how hard you scream everything remains the same You´ve drained all of me. There´s nothing more to give The hive is calling for us to come A spreading disease takes us one by one The curse within us cannot be denied So take me with you to the darker side All this time i´ve wasted in pointless dreaming In a search for a reason, in a search for a meaning All this time i´ve tried to fight the world Now i know that rebellion only made me hurt Cut off my ideals Erase my pride Let me join the fallen On the darker side All this time i´ve wasted in pointless dreaming In a search for a reason, in a search for a meaning All this time i´ve tried to resist control Now i know that to live i must sell my soul

Severed 04:55
Blade of silver divides takes away it all On wings of hatred he flies and hopes to never fall Vibrant footsteps slowly fading revealing just another hell Everything that he´s been through his eyes could not whitstand the truth and see what has begun Escape from the sacrificion Footsteps make it go away Someone has been there before Follow the image of yourself The one you hate He took a step towards the light Leaving everything behind In darkness everything is one But the tearing cannot be undone Golden icon, an arrow flashes to obscurity Pictures in his mind don´t care Breaking through anxiety Breathless at the edge of worlds The bridge opens up ahead Wind blows cold and stops the time For the shattered ruins of a broken mind And dust settles again He walked straight into the light Leaving everything behind Things had gone to shit anyway Severed, you´ll never be the same

So many times you brought me to my knees. So many times i witnessed my defeat. Now watch the rise of a newborn man. I can smell your fear as you make your final stand. Staring into the eyes of my nemesis. Whispering this will be your end. Time has come to slay the evil inside. So take your last breath enemy in the mirror. My memories tear old wounds wide open. I see a child beaten down and broken. Decades of weakness, hurt and sorrow Pains of yesterdays leave me standing paralyzed and hollow. My fist breaks the glass as i scream this time you won´t win. The child you tortured for 24 years has turned into a man. So bring me anything. Anything or anyone. Unbreakable by whatever life brings. Even the enemy within.
