<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nMy Ruin are back, and they are not fucking around\u2026 After a decade-long break, their latest release, ‘Declaration of Resistance’ is a damning statement on the right-wing agenda that\u2019s engulfing US politics (the UK is not far behind!). The album is ferocious and grabs you by the bollocks from the start. Opening track (and first single) Compromised pins you to the floor. Mick Murphy\u2019s monstrous riff, combined with Tairrie B\u2019s spitting vocals, set up the rest of the album perfectly. Declaration of Resistance <\/em>is more than just an album, it\u2019s an assault on fascism, hate, religious radicalism and the complicity of the Western world in genocide. It\u2019s brutally honest, as heavy as fuck, and quite possibly the most important album of 2026\u2026and it\u2019s still 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What does it sound like, I hear you ask\u2026 Think of Rage Against the Machine at their most powerful, add in some Biohazard, throw in some Public Enemy, and sprinkle on riffs that Tony Iommi would be proud of, and then you\u2019re somewhere near the pummelling assault of My Ruin in 2025. Seriously, tracks like The Audacity burst out of the speakers with urgency. The production is perfect, every note and lyric snaps at your heels like a rabid dog. Murphy is one of those supremely talented individuals who can play any instrument. He plays guitar, bass and drums on the album. The drum sound is a breath of fresh air. The drums sound like drums, none of that processed, sampled bullshit. Call to the Void\u2019s Jack Osborne duets with Tairrie B on the crushing True Allies. ‘Contempt’ bumps along with a Kyuss vibe, with lyrics focusing on the vile disregard for anything tasteful by the current US President.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
