CELESTIAL RUIN Streaming New EP ‘Pandora’ via Metal-Rules.com
New EP ‘Pandora’ Out May 20th
Upcoming Show Dates:
May 21 – Vancouver, BC – The Venue – info (CD Release Show)
Aug 25-28 – Metalocalypstick Fest – Valemount, BC – info
Combining a heavenly destruction of heavy riffs with beautiful melodies, Vancouver, BC’s European influenced symphonic metal band CELESTIAL RUIN create catchy, singable and epic tunes that draw on lyrical themes of fantasy and horror, plus sometimes implying deeper meanings or just celebrating the subject matter at hand. Their new EP ‘Pandora’ is due out on May 20th to follow their 2012 debut album ‘The Awakening’ and before it drops they have teamed up with Metal-Rules.com for the full stream premiere of the release, which can be heard at the following link: http://www.metal-rules.com/metalnews/2016/05/13/celestial-ruin-streaming-new-ep-pandora-via-metal-rules-com-new-ep-pandora-out-may-20th/
Vocalist Larissa Dawn comments on the track:
“All the lyrics on “Pandora” were written about unleashing destruction into the world. Chaos caused by all the pain that negative emotions can create. A sort of cause and effect scenario. Each of the songs tells a different story and explores what happens when you make the wrong decision or fail to make any decision at all. Remaining stagnant and letting the world collapse in on you. The only song that kind of swerves from this theme is “No Quarter”, this song is more of a movie told through song. It follows the story of infamous pirate Davy Jones and the battle that ensues between him and a rival ship.
Pandora has a much darker feel to it and I hope it paints different pictures in peoples minds when they hear it. I want them to be able to imagine exactly what is going on, like it’s their own personal movie.”
Digital and CD pre-order of the EP is available on iTunes and CD at www.celestialruin.com.

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.

0 RAM Zine – Celestial Ruin – Pandora (EP)
This is one powerful EP that goes all out to shock and scintillate! It doesn’t have to try too hard either. All the signs point to Celestial Ruin being very successful in their endeavours.
The melody, the unabated power, vocals and musicianship combined are such a strong and unwavering force. It has the potential to be anything it wants to be, from cold and imposing to warm and radiating – the balance has been reached!
0 Franconia Metallum – Celestial Ruin – Pandora
Von der Produktion über das bis ins letzte Detail ausgefeilte Songwriting, bis hin zum göttlichen Album Artwork – alles perfekt. Auf der Habenseite stehen mit den von Larissa Dawn unglaublich einfühlsam gesungenen “Nevermore” & “No Quarter”, der kurzen Eruption “Sense of Exile” und der Hymne “Murder of Crows” Songs, die CELESTIAL RUIN für die Ewigkeit geschrieben haben.

Vocalist Larissa Dawn comments on the track:
“‘Firestorm is one of my favourite songs on the album! I still get goosebumps when I hear the ending. The song is about being trapped in a destructive relationship/life. Feeling caged and being continuously wounded yet still finding a reason to stay. Think of how it would feel to be in a cage. No sunlight, no fresh air and knowing that no matter what you did you could never be free again. That feeling of captivity and acceptance, that everyday you would die over and over again. But if you listen close to the lyrics, you will realize that the only thing holding this person in that cage…..is themselves.”

0 Musipedia of Metal – Celestial Ruin – Pandora (EP)
The five tracks on this EP all move at pace with Murder Of Crows is a strong start and exhibits Larissa’s fine vocal, No Quarter is slower track telling of a pirate giving his soul to Davy Jones, withNevermore being the albums strongest track by far, a colossal ballad that builds into a cinematic track that is the perfect center piece for the record. Pandora sees this band stepping up their game.

0 Ravenheart Music – Celestial Ruin – Pandora
The five tracks here from the opening chords of ’Murder of Crows’, through the epic track ’Sense of Exile’ to the closing bars of ’Firestorm’ are bombastic, infectious pieces of music and certainly a step in the right direction.

Lyric Video – http://skullsnbones.com/celestial-ruin-sense-of-exile-lyric-video-premiere/
Vocalist Larissa Dawn comments on the track:
“The concept of “Sense of Exile” is hopefully a relatable one, it’s about making a life altering decision based on the needs and wants of others . Completely ignoring your own gut instinct and later recognizing that the choice you made has all kinds of negative repercussions. The sound and feel of this song may be high energy, but the lyrics and emotions behind it are that of anger, regret and despair. I’m sure many of us feel these mixed emotions frequently, so I am hoping the power behind the music allows people to just let out all their frustration and after think, “I fell a lot better now”.”
Digital and CD pre-order of the EP will be available as of April 22nd on iTunes and CD at www.celestialruin.com.
