Sludgehammer is visceral and and definitely lives up to their name. With several different genres of metal at work including thrash, death, and groove, what you get is a murky and sludge filled sound that does in fact hit you like a fucking hammer upside the head. There are eleven total songs on this release, and each one has the capacity to kill you all by itself.

About:
Canadian band CELESTIAL RUIN is styled after European Symphonic Rock/Metal but executed with a decidedly North American flavor. Combining a heavenly destruction of heavy riffs with beautiful melodies, CELESTIAL RUIN create catchy, singable melodies, and rich symphonic textures. The compositions are “epic” by all accounts. Lyrical themes are mainly drawn from fantasy and horror, sometimes implying deeper meanings, sometimes just celebrating the subject matter.
Based out of Vancouver, BC, CELESTIAL RUIN started taking the scene by storm with their debut album “The Awakening”. Receiving favorable reviews in publications such as Rockstar Weekly Magazine professing a 4/5 star rating declaring, “If The Awakening is only the beginning of things to come, you’d best get on board now while the getting’s good.”
After successful 2012 and 2013 summer tours, CELESTIAL RUIN was offered many opportunities that included opening slots with Stone Temple Pilots, Leaves Eyes, Moonspell and being a featured performer for Vancouver Alternative Fashion Week for two consecutive years.
CELESTIAL RUIN is always looking for the next unique avenue to expose their distinctive sound. “We play in the grey area of rock music, we are too heavy for rock, but not heavy enough for metal” comments vocalist Larissa Dawn.
This is a praise that has been mirrored in many live reviews including Beat Route Magazine stating, “Celestial Ruin appears to be in a sub-genre scene of one…their differences are working to their advantage”.
From September- December 2015 they completed a cross Canada tour (Out of Exile) and are now preparing for the release of their 2016 EP ‘Pandora’ produced by Joost Van Den Broek (Epica, Revamp, Xandria).
“As a significant jump forward from our debut album, from song writing to production, this EP was a journey that allowed to us grow, and we hope that fans will grow with us.” says Larissa Dawn.
A collaborative writing effort by CELESTIAL RUIN, the May 20th release of ‘Pandora’ will showcase the best of their best shared with fans new and old alike.

This is an album of truly great songs. This is a band singing about real things, the kind of things that matter to folk on a daily basis, and I think A Rebel Few could, and indeed should, be huge. Seriously, a band destined for greatness, and you can say you were there at the beginning!
Vesperia
The iron Tempests EP (CAN)
Viking, Black, Mello Death, Epic, Folk Extreme ¡Aaarghhh..! Sobre pistas sympho, coros y con vocales multi (todos a cargo del frontman), en sólo tres temas en vivo los tipos desencadenan un fin del mundo… Pese a tener dos completos (Voyage Fron Vinland, 2011; y An Olden Tale, 2013; además de dos Demos EP) Vesperia nos llega con estos 13 minutos de The Iron Tempests (y ojo, que 2 de esos 13 son su versión del «In the Hall…» del Peer Gynt de Grieg) que son inmensos, colosales, tan desmedidos que no requieren de nada más. Créanme y escúchenlos; o escúchenlos y créanme, pero háganlo (Morgan Rider en bajo y voces, Frankie Caracci y Casey Elliott en guitarras, y Dylan Gowan en batería, de Toronto).
Bleed
The Hatred Inside (CAN)
Bien tocado y muy prolijo (en rigor de verdad, si algo se les podría achacar sería eso), el Thrash / Death alterno de Bleed es más cuidado que extremo ¿Y cómo razonar que se refieran aptos para fans de Amon Amarth, Slayer, DevilDriver, Static-X, Gwar y Coal Chamber por igual? En las propias voces de este cuarteto de Edmonton, «nos identificamos con Slayer por su frontalidad y contenido lírico, con GWAR por su enfoque y puesta; con Strapping Young Lad por su sonido caótico, alternancia e irrespeto; con DevilDriver por su sonido entre los límites y su forma de estructurar las canciones…». Igual, objetivamente, al escucharlos la cosa cierra sin problemas; la explicación es un agregado. (11 tracks).
