V rokah držim celotno diskografijo še enega all-star hardcore benda, ki je prekmalu zaključil svojo pot. Ruination so sestavljajli osebki iz The Sworm, Left For Death, Charles Bronson, Los Crudos, Bloodpact, itd. za izražanje svojega besa nad družbo pa so uporabili udarno punk/thrash/hardcore podlago, kjer seveda ni mankalo hitrosti. Vokalista sem občudoval že pri Left For Death in The Sworm in sem prav vsel, da spet slišim njegovo besno dretje. Ubistvu je tudi glasba na trenutke prav Left For Death-ovska z razliko, da so Ruination manj metalski in več melodični. Zlasti komadi iz kompilacij ''Seven deadly sins'' (kjer igrajo tudi priredbo od Freeze) in ''Short, fast + laud! Vol. 1'' so še posebej prijetno melodični. Tu je še komad iz Inside Front #13 kompilacije, potem 8 komadov iz diy e.p.-ja, trije iz split 7'' z They Live, naslednjih 3 iz e.p.-ja ''Dead horse'' in pa še 17 live komadov iz leta 2001. Izdani komadi mi bolj ali manj vsi zažigajo, razen tistih iz ''Dead horse'' 7inča, ki se mi glasbeno ne zdijo nič posebnega, kar pa se tiče live posnetkov verjamem, da bi bilo ravno tako dobro tudi če jih zgoščenka ne bi vsebovala. Če bi bil deležen tega koncerta, bi posnetki že imeli kako vrednost ampak tako nimam nobene volje še enkrat poslušat komade, ki sem jih v večini slišal že prej na CD-ju. Ovitek je ves črnobel in nima nič kar bi padlo v oči, pač teksti, kratek info, zatemljena fotka iz koncerta, ter razbit avtomobil na prednji strani, medtem ko so besedila zanimiva za prebrat in imajo v večini družbeno-kritično ali včasih osebno vsebino. Cool bend! Škoda da jih ni več, čeprav sem prepričan, da imajo do sedaj že cel kup novih projektov.

English Version:
Here I'm holding discohraphy CD of another all-star hardcore band that too quickly ended their journey. Ruination were founded by guys from The Sworm, Left For Death, Charles Bronson, Los Crudos, Bloodpact, etc. and they were using fast, striking punk/thrash/hardcore music to express their anger towards society. I admired Chris Colohan's voice already in Left For death and The Sworm and I'm glad to hear him again. His pissed off shouting fucking rules! Actually they occasionally sound pretty close to Left For Death with exception that Riunation excluded metal and put there some melodic parts instead. Especially the songs form compilations such as ''Seven deadly sins'' and ''Short, fast + laud! Vol. 1'' sound pleasantly melodic. Besides that we have here a song from Inside Front #13 compilation, 8 songs from diy e.p., 3 for split 7'' with They Live, onother 3 form ''Dead horse'' e.p. and 17 live tracks from some show in 2001. I like more or less all the released songs except for the ''Dead horse'' which musically I don't find enough attractive and as it concern live recorded songs I believe it would be just as good if they weren't included. I mean, this songs would mean something to me I were a part of this show but I wasn't and so I have no will to listen again the songs which most of them I already heard before on CD. The layout is all black'n'white and has nothing eye-catching, just texts, short infos, dimmed show photo and some crushed car on the front cover, while the lyrics are interesting to read and deal mainly with societay or sometimes personal issues. Cool band! Too bad they're gone, though I'm sure they're already involved in whole buch of other projects by now.
