E.P.
Inner Demons
From Ruins are pleased to announce their ferocious new E.P., Inner Demons.
The E.P. showcases the band’s ability to bring together the best parts of noughties metalcore and fuse it with contemporary experimental and progressive elements.
“This E.P. has been the culmination of everything we have gone through as a group throughout the last year,” comments vocalist Niall O’Kane. “We’ve put our hearts and souls into these songs, and believe it’s our heaviest, most melodic, and progressive work to date. We’re delighted with how it’s turned out, and can’t wait for people to hear it.”
Once again guitarist Neil Anderson has provided the artwork, drawing upon inspiration from dark fantasy and mythology to manifest a demonic composition.
Inner Demons is available to stream and download from your preferred service on October 13th, 2023.

E.P. Reviews
“It’s the kind of thing that will open pits on any dancefloor. Big gigs, small gigs, festivals, weddings… it doesn’t matter. Chaos will ensue.”
“Complex and commanding, energetic and erratic, infectious and intense…”
“…so full of angst and furious intent it’s surprising the band managed to make it to the end in one piece!“
“…you feel that the evolution of the band could lead to some interesting and exciting places.”
“… a band looking to redefine the heavy metal rulebook… We’ve only just scratched the surface of what FROM RUINS are capable of.”
Single
Hate Me
Following on from their debut release comes Hate Me, From Ruins’ second single. Maintaining the hard edge and dark theme established by Running Away while introducing electronic elements and an epic finale, Hate Me places the band’s versatility on full display.
“Some may find Hate Me to be a bit of a divergence in style from our first single as we’ve tried to show a different side to our arsenal. But don’t worry, because it hits just as hard!” says drummer David Patton.
The single artwork was created by the band’s artist-in-residence, guitarist Neil Anderson.
Hate Me is available to stream and download from your preferred service on September 8th, 2023.
