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.
“The music on ‘Pandora’ is about unleashing chaos, beauty and all emotions into the world. It celebrates both the joy and the pain that emotions can create. The lyrics on this release come from a mix of personal experiences and fantasy elements. Most of the were written during a time when Larissa was going through recovery from a surgery and was unable to speak, sing and barely able to stand up. So the frustration, sadness, anger and fear she felt during her recovery created “Pandora”.” says drummer Adam Todd.

UK Rockers THE UNDIVIDED Offer Free Download ‘Invincible’
Performing @ Canadian Music Week + Debut New EP ‘Satellites’ May 5th
CMW Show Dates: (more tba)
With their upcoming performances at this year’s Canadian Music Week in Toronto, ON, which will be their second appearance at the fest, the UK’s alternative wave of infectious rock known as THE UNDIVIDED are offering fans a FREE download of their single ‘Invincible’ via PureGrainAudio.com at the following link: http://puregrainaudio.com/audio/the-undivided-invincible-free-song-download
Music Video – ‘Invincible’: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5wtcZhHSwWk
The single ‘Invincible’ tells the story of organ donation compassionately from both sides of the giver and receiver, which is a cause the band fully supports after a fan’s mother in UK had a successful heart transplant after be on the waiting list for a long amount time plus the Welsh government in Wales deciding to pass regulation for the opt out decision got the guys highlighting to the rest of world the importance to sign up for organ donation.
“Every organ donor can save 8 lives, that is 8 families who are given hope, 8 families who don’t have to grieve, 8 families whose lives are changed.” says Sarah Todd Callender-Ferrier, the UK fan fan whom inspired THE UNDIVIDED.
THE UNDIVIDED will be releasing their EP ‘Satellites’ on May 5th to coincide with their performance during CMW and features three songs with two live bonus tracks that were produced and written with Dan Weller of SIKT.
The band comments on their appearance at CMW:
About:
Driven by a desire to create the kind of noise people simply have to stand up and hear the most exciting- not to mention anthemic- rock act to emerge from South Wales in decades has arrived and not a moment too soon.
Inspired by the political, message-heavy words of fellow countrymen Manic Street Preachers, the instrumentation of Idlewild, and the penchant for melodic pop sensibilities evident in the likes of Mansun and Peace, The Undivided make music that’s impossible to ignore. Soaring guitar chords launch from atop punishing riffs, shuddering bass lines carry the rhythms forward, and sledgehammer drumbeats underpin this combination of harmony and electricity.
Hailing from the South Wales Valleys, the four piece (comprising lead guitarist and singer Joe Disson, percussive maestro Rhyd Mason and guitarist Lew Bray and joining in 2014 Bass guitarist Craig Prosser) formed circa 2010, born from the ashes of previous aural endeavours and built on the back of long-standing friendships. A successful meeting of minds, a period of incessant and relentless gigging followed, which saw them perform dates across the UK- including support slots for Ash, The Xcerts, Kids in Glass Houses, The Dirty Youth, IDivide and Samoans – with praise coming from Kerrang!, Rock Sound, NME and XFM, to name but a few.
Before long the trio found themselves hauled up at a cottage in rural west Wales, rehearsing and writing a good chunk of the new LP safe in the knowledge there was no phone line, no mobile signal, no broadband, and nobody to complain about their 1AM jam sessions. Evidently something went right, with the Romesh Dodangoda-produced album (Kids in Glass Houses, Funeral For A Friend), This New Day, proof of that. Garnering support from the Welsh Arts Council (which gave funding for the production), BBC Radio1 Introducing, Nation Radio, Team Rock Radio and Big Cheese, the hype is almost as big as the main-room filling tunes on the record. Thankfully though, in this case it’s deserving, with The Undivided set to fulfil their ambition of breaking with the norm to deliver truly poignant, meaningful and moving songs through expert musicianship and devastatingly honest lyricism. The band secured a sync placement for the instrumental version of ‘Headlights’ from the previous album ‘This New Day’ on the opening and closing credits of BBC 4 Royal Institute Christmas lectures, screen on 29th, 30th and 31st December 2014.
The band showcased at the 2015 Canadian Music Week in Toronto, ON and received US and Canadian College radio airplay, which has already awarded them a CMJ radio distinction. They have recently written and produced their new EP ‘Satellites’ with Dan Weller (Sikth), which is set for release on May 5th, 2016 and to be debut at their second appearance at this year’s Canadian Music Week. The EP’s infectious first single / video ‘Invincible’ tells the story of organ donation compassionately from both sides of the giver and receiver.
