Band information

Ruins is a black metal band from Hobart. Ruins is technically a solo project for ex-Evil Dead drummer Pope, with Dave Haley from Psycroptic in a session role, although he has been a constant member of the band since it began. In 2006, a live line-up including Psycroptic's Joe Haley and Kai Summers of Born Headless was put together to play at Metal for the Brain and tour with Satyricon. The band featured at Festival of the Dead in 2007 and was then announced as the national support for Immortal's 2008 Australian tour. During June 2009, Ruins toured Australia with Psycroptic and The Amenta.

In September 2011, Ruins appeared at Bastardfest in Sydney and in January 2012 toured the east coast with Absu and Portal.
