Tennessee’s symphonic blackened deathcore hellraisers Ov Ruin ripped into their debut album Eternal Lament, live-show plans for Tennessee Metal Devastation Fest 2025, and the savage evolution of their sound. Here’s the devastation:
Key Takeaways
From Coffee to Chaos: Discovered through their side hustle roasting beans (props to SmithOddities), Ov Ruin’s music blew past the coffee game. “Fuck the coffee, dude—we had to get these guys on stage!”
Debut Album Eternal Lament: A cinematic blackened deathcore monster inspired by Dark Souls, Elden Ring, Lord of the Rings scores, and a dash of MySpace-era madness (think Tony Danza Tapdance Extravaganza meets Cradle of Filth).
Ozzfest Nostalgia: Bonding over Ozzfest’s prime, Jerry recalls Slipknot’s 1999 second-stage set rocking orange jumpsuits. “We want TMDMF to be the Ozzfest for the underground—no mainstream bullshit, just raw exposure.”
TMDMF 2025 = First Live Show Ever: Though scattered from Nashville to Boston, Ov Ruin’s live debut is locked for the fest, with secret guest appearances and merch including vinyl (CDs sold out in minutes).
Gearheads Rejoice: Studio wizardry with Neural DSP plugins, plus live rigs packing Abasi 7-strings and 5150 cabs. “We’re our own engineers now.”
New EP Incoming: Already cooking up a follow-up promising even more face-melting riffs and a serious step up from Eternal Lament.
Savage Quotes
“We’re ready to rip some faces off. Expect heavy breakdowns, killer riffs, and maybe Scooby-Doo costumes.”
“If you wanna see Ov Ruin live, you better be at TMDMF. No second chances.”
Final Warning
Crank Eternal Lament on Bandcamp (full upload dropping soon) and gear up for Ov Ruin’s explosive live debut at Tennessee Metal Devastation Fest 2025 on October 11th. This is the underground’s new wave—get violent or get out.
