Old Ruins are a band from Germany that plays a melodic mixture of black, death, doom and heavy metal and this is a review of their 2023 album "Always Heading East" which will b e released on September 15th by Doc Gator.
Clean playing, nature sounds and spoken word parts start off the album before going into a heavier direction. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style while the aster sections of the songs also add in a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats.
All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them while the vocals are mostly black metal screams. The songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with one track also introducing clean playing onto the recording and the slower sections of t he tracks also bring in element s of doom metal.
Some of the guitar leads also show an influence of traditional metal along with the music also capturing the heaviness of death metal at times as well as one song also adding in a brief use of percussion, the music also has its atmospheric moments and keyboards are added on the closing track. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover the video game 'Diablo'.
In my opinion Old Ruins are a very great sounding atmospheric and melodic mixture of black, death, doom and heavy metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "The Dark Wanderer" "Risen From The Grave" and "Lord of Hell". 8 out of 10.
