“Tennessee Elegy”, the latest video from MY RUIN, can be seen below. The song comes off MY RUIN‘s seventh album, “A Southern Revelation”, which was made available as a free download and gift to fans starting December 7, 2011 exclusively via www.myruin.net. The CD was produced by Mick Murphy and Joel Stooksbury at Soundtrack Black Studio deep in the snowy mountains just outside of Knoxville, Tennessee in the cold January winter of 2011.
London based custom jewellery company Seventh Circle Artworks is proud to announce the release of the new “Mi Ruina” Ring designed by lead vocalist of the Los Angeles based metal band My Ruin and Blasphemous Girl designer Tairrie B on December 15th, 2011. “When Alex Palmer approached me a few months back with the idea of collaborating on a high end design with him for his company SCA we were in the final stages of mixing our new album and I thought it would be a great opportunity for my two passions to come together and inspire each other. I began deconstructing and customizing one-of-a-kind limited edition merch for my band many years ago and in 2009 I launched my own online store for BGD [Blasphemous Girl Designs] I love the concept of iconic, religiously cathartic statement pieces and covet worthy adornments. I put a lot of love and time into my collections which are all handmade and heartfelt. I think this is what the fans of my band appreciate about my designs and why I have such a loyal and dedicated following for BGD. I was flattered when Alex reached out to me wanting to work together. He is also a musician himself and we relate to one another as artists. With the “Mi Ruina” Ring I wanted to create a keepsake that would have a timeless yet otherworldly feel to it and I think we achieved that. Although the number seven has a history that goes way back with deep spiritual significance, it also signifies something sacred for me on a personal level. I designed the ring to have 7 bands in honor of My Ruin’s new 7th album “A Southern Revelation” which we released as a free download and gift to fans on the 7th of December exclusively via our website at http://www.myruin.net “ – Tairrie B.
This spectacular sterling silver, 3-part jointed armour ring incorporates 4 plain bands and 2 rosary bands on each side with the Spanish inscription “Mi Ruina Por Vida” [“My Ruin for Life”] engraved into the knuckle band. Each ring is hand crafted in London, oxidized and smoked to give it a subtle vintage, aged effect and is available in sizes L – Z+2 for men and women. The “Mi Ruina Ring” is also featured on Tairrie B in the bands recently premiered new video for “Tennessee Elegy” which she co directed and comes scented in her custom blended signature oil inside a black velvet pouch with a personalized signed card.
“I chose the phrase “Mi Ruina Por Vida” because I felt this represents my commitment towards my band and everything I believe in as an artist. It’s a motto of strength and stamina which goes hand in hand with the armor vibe and I hope fans and non fans of my band will be able to appreciate the sentiment behind it, along with the intricate detail and beauty in the way it was crafted with both feminine and masculine qualities which compliment each other. When Alex sent me the original master I was thrilled to see how amazing it turned out. It’s a bad ass ring and perfect way to adorn your middle finger!” – Tairrie B

Commented Tairrie B.: “We’re looking forward to returning to the U.K. and kicking things off in a big way with our first show in Glasgow, Scotland on January 18th for my birthday! In the past we have always played London on this occasion but since we were forced to cancel our last show at Classic Grand on our previous tour due to my being severely ill at the time, we wanted to do something special for our friends and fans who have been waiting to see us to make up for it. Previously purchased tickets from March 2011 will remain valid for the new show and we will be having an after party / meet-and-greet following our set on this and a few other select dates during the tour. We’re playing many of our favorite cities in the U.K. this time around, which, except for two familiar haunts, will be our first time playing most of these new venues, including one night near Paris in Vaureal, France, which I’m sure will be a evening to remember, and ending the tour back in England at a deconsecrated church!
In other news, MY RUIN has announced the addition of drummer Isaac Lee to the group’s ranks. Tairrie states, “Isaac has replaced Matt LeChevalier, who toured our ‘Ghosts And Good Stories’ album with us and remains a good friend. Unfortunately, Matt being based in France became a bit difficult for us logistically and did not allow for MY RUIN to work as much as we would like as a band. With the new album, we felt it was time to look for a more permanent drummer.
“Although not originally from Los Angeles, Isaac currently lives in L.A. and we felt an immediate connection with him when he reached out to us after hearing from a mutual acquaintance that we were quietly looking for someone new to fill the drum seat. It’s been great getting to know Isaac and watch the songs from our new album come to life with the band which is on fire at the moment in the rehearsal studio.
“We just filmed our first video together for the song ‘Tennessee Elegy’ and have recently confirmed several warm-up shows which we will soon be announcing in and around L.A. for November and December.”
