Editor's note

My Ruin's raw industrial metal and confrontational lyrics

A Los Angeles band that's been delivering abrasive, socially charged music since 1999.

If you want to hear what they're about, try 'Sycophant' or 'Spilling Open'. That's the sound they've been refining for over two decades.

My Ruin matters because they've never softened their sound or message. Songs like 'Sycophant' and 'Money Shot' deliver Tairrie B's outspoken vocals over Mick Murphy's industrial-metal guitar work. Their music feels like a raw statement, not a polished product.

They formed in Los Angeles in 1999 and started releasing albums in 2000 with 'A Prayer Under Pressure's Heel'. The lineup has shifted over the years, with recent records like 'Ghosts and Vodka' showing they've kept at it. They've toured with acts like Ministry but maintained their own abrasive approach.

Archive material and source history

My Ruin formed in Los Angeles in 1999 around vocalist Tairrie B and guitarist Mick Murphy. Their sound pulls from industrial, metal, and punk, with lyrics that often touch on social injustice and personal trauma. Songs like 'Money Shot' and 'Abusing The Muse' give a sense of their abrasive, confrontational style.

They've released albums steadily since 2000, including 'A Prayer Under Pressure's Heel' and 'The Brutal Language'. More recent records like 'Ghosts and Vodka' and 'Leviathan' show they've kept at it. The lineup has shifted over time, with drummer Shannon Larkin and bassist Chris Haskett playing on some of the early 2000s material.

Tairrie B's outspoken delivery and the band's aggressive approach have drawn both fans and critics. They've toured and worked with acts like Ministry, but their music has always felt more like a raw statement than a polished product. It's the kind of thing that either grabs you or doesn't, without much middle ground.
