RUIN strike while the iron’s red-hot and deliver another foul cauldron 
of filth with “Human Annihilation”. Shit-heavy and strewn with shit, 
“Human Annihilation” picks up exactly where their “Drown in Blood” 
ended, and delivers pure and utter ugliness enriched with doomed-out 
passages, crusty tempos and sudden blasts that are meant to turn your 
stomach without care. 
And yet, compared to its predecessor, “Human 
Annihilation” goes even deeper into the creepiness; its sound field is 
still vile and vicious, but 
there’s an even-more-pronounced lurking dread haunting their 
no-less-heavy ruminations. 
If “Drown in Blood” was some sort of bastard 
child spawned from Hellhammer covers being slammed out by “Realm of 
Chaos”-era Bolt Thrower taking place in the jam room of Finnish sickos 
Abhorrence in 1989, then “Human Annihilation” is the beyond-drunk and 
drugged-out aftermath, where there’s simply no escape from the 
disease-ridden basement. They say absence makes the heart grow fonder. 

Well, this time, RUIN weren’t gone very long for us to feel any warm 
feelings for them, and so they deliver the more sickening and hateful 
“Human Annihilation”. **album review originally published on bloodharvestrecords.bandcamp.com**  Blood Harvest – YOTZ19-017
