There's a new hardcore quartet on the rise in The UK named Ruin Everything, and they just released their debut EP, Lioniser. When I read that they're described as, "tech-hardcore" I was a bit wary. Fortunately my doubts were shattered. The first track, "Leave No Man Behind," kicks things off just right with an aggression reminiscent of Defeater, while it sounds like Snapcase vocalist, Daryl Taberski, is at the helm. The band doesn't slow down as they go into the second track, "The Child, The Prince, The Martyr."--where they add in more licks.
The band adds a little more Snapcase sound on, "I Don't Believe in Revenge," with a more complex guitar riff and fills. You'll hear a little of everything in the track. The bridge sounds straight out of Circle Takes the Square's, As the Roots Undo. Of all the tracks, I'd say the final track, "The Growth of Man" has the most unsuspecting time signatures, however I find it the least interesting of the four. I'm very excited for this band. This is a great EP and debut that offers quite a versatility in only a matter of minutes. I can't wait to hear more.
