NEW RELEASES and NEW FUCK UP'S!!!

Today the Freight- or better "Fright"-company brought a massive wooden palet with a 600kg of new DETRITUS LP and PREYING HANDS LP/CD... all good so far.

People who know where i live may imagine the trouble we had navigating the massive Truck through the little one way streets and hence it was the first delivery in such a size, i wasn´t really sure if that works at all and asked to park the Truck at the main street and we easy lift the boxes on a trailer. But no,... Truckdriver wanted to proof his skills and rammed the Truck into the Street.

Of course it took hours to get him back on the road and i costs my nerves as i thought for the rest of the day, BUT(!) no way...

... Printing Company managed to set even one on top as i found out they misprinted ALL(!) Detritus Sleeves with a weird mosaic of the Frontcover drawing... i don't know fuck about what happened and complained right away.
How that happened i don't know. I checked the files and everything and there is nothing wrong. It's a bit weird that it just take 7 days to press and print both LPs which surprised me alot as usually it takes at least 2 weeks after testpressing.
Anyway with a bit of luck there should be new sleeves delivered within the upcoming week...i really hope so since this release i so overdue.

At a glance i´m really happy to have all these new releases coming out at once which makes it easier to distribute and as well as Ruin Nation Records hitting it's 17 Year anniversary soon i happy that i managed over this years to put out all really amazing diverse and interesting music of amazing and interesting people.

Make sure you check out:

PREYING HANDS Throught the Dark LP/CD.
Upon returning from a European tour late in 2006, Ballast promptly broke up. 3/5th of the band would continue to play together and soon would form PREYING HANDS including new members whose previous efforts included Montreal bands Snake Master, Desperate Living and Last Days. The sound seamlessly blends an odd combination of crust, melodic hardcore and a touch of pop punk. The powerful female vocals, that lyrically combine the personal with the political, complete an intense picture. Production was handled on this debut effort by Mark Lawson (Arcade Fire, weird...) at the Pines and mastered at Mammoth Sound by Dan Randall (Limp Wrist, Government Warning). Brand New and available on both Formats!

and very VERY soon ready to ship:

DETRITUS Same Title LP
Nine attacks of pure mid nineties eurosquat-crustcore that comes in its raw and angered nature with the filthy grinding metal guitar chords and slashing cymbals and thundering drums going steady forward and forward. Two female vocalists vomit their complains and disgust in a dual treatment and i can tell you they are pretty unamused. This nine tracks are a premortal recording put down in 2005 before "Saar", singer of Detritus, died in 2006 and hence the band never released anything, this release might be a memorial and a document and in the age of sterile "neo-crust" it´s about time to bring this back on the map i guess and they fill the gap quite well between early UNHINGED and DISAFFECT... for name dropping purpose if you can´t handle. LP comes with a 16 page booklet and made to play as LOUD AS FÖK!

Introducing PREYING HANDS (Montreal)

PREYING HANDS from Montreal (Canada) is a brand new Band formed out of the ashes of such great canadian acts like DESPERATE LIVING, SNAKE MASTER, LAST DAYS and BALLAST. The latter one is probably most known to you europeans thanks to two extended tours and gigs (some with INFEKCJA from Poland) just a few years ago.

The Bands new musically output is a sparkling and very melodical raging mixture of Punk Rock that reminds me alot to late eighties UK Punk such like SOFAHEAD and early SNUFF with a rough edge song writing and enough blast to sound more than just a sober melodic mediocre act. This is something really raging!

Lyricwise 'Preying Hands' deliver well though personal to political based topics, sung by Ballast's "Spoke" with her distinctive voice and style of singing that matches perfect to the musically support of the other band members.

Check out the Bands website with some MP3s listen to and Videos to watch. 

The Band recently recorded a 10 Track LP/CD to be released on Seattle´s INIMICAL RECORDS and a European Version Released very soon by RUIN NATION, CONTRASZT Rec., FIGHT FOR YOUR MIND and TRUJACA FALA as well as Vinyl  and CD Format.

PREYING HANDS are on a US Tour in July/August. Check Ruin Nation or the Band website for dates and updates.
