THE RUINER ALBUM DESCRIPTION:

 

The Ruiner is a statement, a warning, an omen, a morbid theme based off humanities macabre obsessions with self destruction, violence, greed, racism, political conflicts, abuse of power, overt sex obsessions which leads to over population/famine/sickness, drug abuse, manipulation, sociopathic tendencies and barbaric, dogmatic, religious lunatics who violently force their beliefs onto others without realizing that we are a part of something far greater than any of us will ever understand.  We currently live in a new age era where many believe their opinions to be factual, where logical communication is disregarded and substituted for violent conflict and humiliation. We are still a very primal species, not only barbaric within our violence, but also within our manipulative and narcissistic mental tactics to gain benefit from others.  Humanity will always find something to feud over and destroy itself with. The harm that you cause will only re-visit you.  Always remain humble, Kindness is Strength.  Weakness are those who impose the strong arm.....the wannabe tough guy motif that most live by today.  Evil comes in many forms.

​

This album will serve as a pure homage to the old ways and traditions of Various Pagan Cultures of the past before they were violently stripped of their individuality by those who force their beliefs onto others against their will, against their humanity....hence, the industrial revolution was born within the innocent blood it has shed.  Beware of those who take powerful words from kind people and twist them into something more sinister to take control of mass amounts of people, thus feeding a dangerous agenda.

​

This album is meant to raise awareness within oneself in order to find who you really are deep down within your unconscious mind and spirit, and to show that deep down we are all truly the same, regardless of what's on the surface.....and what's on the surface is unique in its own right.  Always be who you are.  Never cower behind the bars of insecurity to be something that doesn't exist.  Your own free will is forever set in stone.....Embrace it.

​

*I would like to dedicate this work to a childhood friend of mine who passed away many years ago.  He was full of life and energy....a vibrant human being.  After venturing into the woods one night behind his house, he lost his way due to his condition being Autistic.....he had no sense of direction.  He ended up freezing to death in the woods during the Winter.  He was found a quarter mile from his house. 
Rest in Peace Cory.

 "The heart is deceitful above all else. It will lead you to your own carnal desires; to wells that have no water in them--a famine to the spirit.  Screaming from the inward is the voice of conscience. The more we ignore it, the quieter it becomes until we have killed our innate confidant: a safety net. We need to be saved from ourselves. We are too ignorant to realize the long-term harm that we are causing since we're too focused upon instant gratification. We pay no mind to what comes later, even though later always comes. The heart of mankind is selfish and self-serving; to a life that will only lead to certain death. We starve for compassion and reek of judgment."

"Allow not your own carnal heart to ruin you--the beating ruiner inside."
