Triple Moon & New Site Design!

)O(

Over the weekend we did a little revamp to our site to go with the release of our new album. Thank you to our good friends Matt Adamson and Kayleigh Brookes for their technical and artistic talents which they have both lent us while working with me behind the scenes recently.

The above art piece is taken from the new hard cover art & lyric book I am currently designing with Kayleigh to accompany the album. It is called 'Triple Moon' and represents the three of us together as well as me alone. This symbol is found in many Neo Pagan and Wiccan traditions as a symbol of the Goddess. The first crescent represents the waxing phase of the moon -- new beginnings, new life, and rejuvenation. The center circle is symbolic of the full moon -- the time when magic is at its most potent and powerful. Finally, the last crescent represents the waning moon -- a time to do banishing magic and to send things away. The sacred heart between my hands represents our band as a whole. Our music and soul. It is made of metal and along with the Mi Ruina ring which I designed for Seventh Circle Artworks, the only other real element in the illustration which represents belief and dedication. The heart hangs on the wall in our home among the many other ex-votos I have collected over time. Each one has it's own story and meaning behind it. The nails which surround the heart represent the thirteen years of My Ruin on the inside, tough and unbreakable.


Hope you like our new design and please take a moment to check out both of their pages on the links below and give them a big "like". Two very inspiring independent artists I am proud call part of our extended family in the UK and who are helping me bring my vision to life with

'The Sacred Mood'.

The Sacred Mood - New Album & Cover Art!

Dear Friends,

We are proud to unveil the cover art for our upcoming studio album

'The Sacred Mood'

which we have set to release worldwide on

June 11, 2013

via

TuneCore, Bandcamp, iTunes & Amazon.
As a follow up to our 2011 album ‘A Southern Revelation’, we returned to Soundtrack Black Studio in the hills of East Tennessee to once again work with friend and studio owner Joel Stooksbury, who mixed, engineered and co produced the new album along with My Ruin guitarist Mick Murphy.

‘The Sacred Mood’ is a subtle reinvention for My Ruin. In an industry that is ever changing, we’re not a band who pays attention to the current trends. We’ve found our sound and we simply do what we do while staying true to our roots. I think our fans appreciate our integrity and we appreciate our fans. We offered the last album as a free download where people could donate to the band if they wanted and it was a great success but we are taking a different approach with our new album which we are self releasing once again. Unfortunately, we have learned over time that most record labels are not for us and we seem to do better on our own as a DIY independent band which is what we always have been, today more than ever with our eighth album ‘The Sacred Mood’ as a testament to our staying power.
The atmosphere of the new album is heavily drenched in the heat of the South where it was recorded and fueled by insomnia filled nights in Los Angeles where it was written. The cover was designed with this in mind by a talented Manchester, UK based artist & illustrator named Kayleigh Brookes who also happens to be a longtime fan of the band. The art that goes with the album is very different than anything we’ve previously done before. We decided to use real elements of nature mixed with iconic illustrations to create something unique to My Ruin that would go with the otherworldly language of the lyrics. We wanted an ethereal image for the cover and chose the moon for the background because we felt it evoked the mood of the album as a whole. The image was actually inspired by a photograph which was taken by Tor Burrows who has worked with me creating music videos for My Ruin’s last 2 albums and is currently working on a teaser commercial for the album which we plan on debuting in April. I really enjoy working with Tor on our videos and being that I have always worked alone when designing the artwork for many of our previous recordings, I thought it would be an interesting change to collaborate with someone on this side of things.

We are releasing ‘The Sacred Mood’ digitally and designing a unique hardcover print & e-book to accompany it. Included in the book will be photographic images and illustrations of the band, lyrics, musings, a few short stories and original art pieces. This is something I have wanted to do for a long time and our new album has given me the perfect opportunity to make it happen. We're looking forward to sharing it with the fans of our band who have continued to follow us over the years and those who are just discovering our music for the first time.
