Our Take
Our Take
Upon Ruins' latest album, "Legacy of Desolation," is a complex web of sonic destruction and despair that will leave fans both pummelled and strangely elated. This Nottingham-based band has really outdone themselves this time, delivering a collection of songs that are as intense as they are inventive.
From the blistering opening track, "Gates of Oblivion," to the hauntingly beautiful "Ghosts of the Past," Upon Ruins takes listeners on a journey through the darkest recesses of the human soul. The band's mastery of their instruments is evident throughout, with each track showcasing their technical proficiency and emotional depth.
Lead singer Jake Smith's guttural vocals are a raw force of nature, perfectly complementing the punishing drum work of Paul Davies and the intricate guitar melodies of Liam Thompson. Together, they create a sound that is both brutal and beautiful, a delicate balance that few bands can achieve.
"Legacy of Desolation" is not for the faint of heart, but for those who appreciate the darker side of metal, it is a must-listen. Upon Ruins have crafted an album that is equal parts cathartic and crushing, a true testament to the power of music to both destroy and uplift. This is a band that is definitely worth keeping an eye on.
