OLD RUINS can be rightly classified as BLACK METAL, whereby the resourceful German formation has created its own, very individual style with many influences from the areas of Heavy, Doom and Melodic Metal and is thus a very appreciated term to a large part of the underground scene already since their first demos on YouTube.
OLD RUINSÂ also made first plans for their stage debut, but the Lord Of Destruction had other plans and brought the world a pandemic.
However, OLD RUINS were not discouraged by this and began in August 2020 with the recordings of the completely convincing 6-track debut EP “Old Ruins”, which physically and digitally passed the gates of hell on November 06, 2020 and brought darkness from the heart of the Ruhr area over Tristram.
On September 15, 2023, OLD RUINS will release their first long-player entitled “Always Heading East” on Doc Gator, with which the record company proves exquisite taste.

OLD RUINSÂ was founded in 2019 and was initially supposed to be a pure studio project of drummer Alexander Czernik and singer/lead guitarist Christian Krajewski.
But the thus only really hungry players quickly developed a damn dark, very atmospheric sound, which is still not easy to categorize and which remains not least because of this permanently as fascinating as exciting and wear-free. [ learn more here ]
