Thoughts of Ruin

About Me

In Early 2005, the founding member, Colin and Dave sat down with nothing but their guitars, a computer and beer to write some songs they, as metal fans would like to listen too. After the songs came so easily they decided to recruit the full band and start playing some live shows. After some line-up changes it settled with Colin and Dave on guitars, Martin on Bass, former within drummer Niall and Brendan, former vocalist of Celtic Punch.A 6 track EP “Convictions� was recorded and an extensive touring schedule was undertaken that resulted in shows all over the country with such big Irish names as MikeGotSpiked, Clergy, Itchy Trigger Finger, Silent Conflict, ColdWar and 23 This was followed by great reviews of both the CD and the live shows as Revenant honed there show in the live atmosphere.Their hard work and commitment resulted in support slots with French heavyweights Dagoba on there Irish Tour and German veterans NecrophagistWe have finished our studio time and can confirm that the new CD is recorded and sounding so much better than we could have ever dreamed. 8 tracks were recorded and once mixing and mastering is competed we will be launching the CD in a number of countries.the album was recorded at cox in hell studios,france by kallaghan(sikh)who did an amazing job and is also doing the mix and final master The working title "Original Sin" has been changed in favour of one that sums up the tone of the album much better.The album will be called "Reclaim the Throne"Track list: 1.BioBurden 2.The Despised 3.Relic 4.God Complex(feat kallaghan) 5.Inner Demon 6.Kingdom of Fire 7.Nothing Is Sacred 8.Second RisingThe album was recorded in COX in Hell studios in St. Aygulf France by producer Charles Masabbo(dirty bitch).Check him out here www.myspace.com/kallaghanstudios


The other big news is that we are no longer known as Revenant. The name is already taken by numerous bands. We will from now on be known as THOUGHTS OF RUIN, so look for this on upcoming posters.New tour dates have been added and there are some big ones on there. We will also be playing the new tracks at these gigs.See you at the next gigPlain MySpace Layouts by Iron Spider
