Hailing from the UK, RUINA originally started life in 2020 as a solo project for multi-instrumentalist, Harv Lake. With a potent desire to play live and to explore new pathways and sounds, by February 2020 Harv had assembled a fully-fledged band, and debut EP, Nemesis. Deserved acclaim soon followed as RUINA hit the live scene with a flurry of high-octane performances. Last year’s sophomore EP, A Hundred Voices, further underlined the band’s growing stature, and illustrated that RUINA have the vision and quality to rival many leading figures within the metal fraternity. 
 RUINA have gathered the attention of numerous industry tastemakers, as well as rousing an influx of new fans drawn to their distinctive delivery of cutting-edge music. Their live shows repeatedly engage, ignite, and excite the listener, making them undoubtedly a key band to watch in 2023. The stout metallers now set loose their engulfing new EP, As The Sky Begins To Break, which is backed by a breathtaking new single, Ash & Fire. The EP is stacked with razor sharp riffery, and features the striking collaborative vocals of Harv Lake and Chris Owens. It’s everything you want from a heavy record: hard-hitting, emotive, riff laden, and absolutely compelling.
