◄| The Brutal Language / Press Quotes |►



"My Ruin's most savage and belligerent record so far".
- 𝐀𝐦𝐲 𝐒𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐨 | 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐨𝐥𝐯𝐞𝐫
---------------------------------------
"Time has not mellowed Tairrie B.She has always been blessed with the ability to use her music as a vehicle to express and channel her rage and anger and 'The Brutal Language' is no different. That is, of course, until you find out that every instrument was played by axeman Mick Murphy when the rest of the band quit before the sessions began. Yet, under these difficult circumstances, the duo have crafted an album that actually sounds like a razor-tight band, charged with dense Black Sabbath style riffs and pounding metal grooves. Mixed by Nick Raskulinecz (Foo Fighters, Velvet Revolver, QOTSA), tracks like the doom laden 'Silverlake' and an unexpected lurch through Mudhoney's classic grunge anthem 'Touch Me I'm Sick' sound immensely heavy and hard hitting, finally giving Tairrie B the right sonic power to back up her emotions."

"The strongest My Ruin offering to date, which is thanks in no small part to partner and muse, Mick Murphy, whose sludgy guitar tones haul
proceedings ever further into the realm of Scissorfight-style southern
menace. Miss B is on similarly fine form, contrasting sultry whispers
and barbed melodies with the kind of anguished howls that could strip
paint at twenty paces."

"The Queen B is back. And how. 'The Devil Walks' and 'Vince Vaughn' positively swagger like the drunken kids of FuManchu and the Rolling Stones, all finger blistering solos and rhythmic punch.Hard edged, melodic and decadent (think AlabamaThunderpussy meets Kyuss)."

"Mick Murphy hammers some good ol' rock riffs back into metal. There is an interesting new tone, a tremendous solo,or a different groove everywhere you turn. Where many current releases can settle into a certain sameness after the first tune,there is nothing predictable about this record."

- 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐭 𝐁𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐭𝐭 | 𝐆𝐮𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐫 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫
---------------------------------------
"Tairrie's trademark screeches kick the shit out of Mick's dirty stoner riffs
and powerful crashing drums".The whole album was recorded by just Tarrie and Mick, but manages to sound more directional and have better production than any of its predecessors. This is how My Ruin should have always sounded."

- 𝟗/𝟏𝟎 𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐚𝐬𝐡𝐚 𝐒𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐟 | 𝐓𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐳𝐞𝐫

"Hot Randy Rhoads-style metal guitar work."

"My Ruins debut for the Undergroove label after years struggling in corporate hell has paid off because this is their most realized and best album to date."

"Enigmatic Doom Rock-My Ruin's The Brutal Language sounds like a cross between a female fronted version of Black Sabbath, Circa Volume 4,the uber rock pyrotechnics of Into Another's Creepy Eepy and the Sabbath worship with a twist of Down. It's a dark, fuzzy rough and tumble record that is somewhat enigmatic. It's a throwback to the rock greats of yesteryear, but the scratchie, melodie tinged howl-seductive and threatening at the same time-of Tairrie B gives it a modern spin. Check out the swirling throbbing rhythms of "Cold Hands" or the doom-laden riffs on"Metamorphosis",and you'll likely be a true believer, too. Whether the world at large is ready for a band so unabashedly real is an open question.My Ruin deserves a lot of credit for bucking the trends on The Brutal Language and putting some danger and grime back into underground rock."

---------------------------------------
"There's a reason why 'The Brutal Language' may well be My Ruin's most focused and hostile recording yet. Shortly before the recording sessions began, the rhythm section suddenly quit the band leaving Tairrie and axeman Mick Murphy to record all of the album on their own.Yet, under these difficult circumstances, the duo have crafted an album that actually sounds like a razor-sharp band, charged with dense Black Sabbath style riffs and pounding metal grooves. The fact that they have so successfully managed to create such a dense sounding, unified album is testament to Mick and Tairrie's positive working relationship and their musical abilities in the studio. By the time the band take to the road, they should be primed and ready to blow away new and old fans alike, and you can be sure that the ten tracks on offer here will sound incredible. The bitch is most certainly back."

"I have been a diehard metalhead since first seeing Iron Maiden's "Number Of The Beast" tour here in Los Angeles at just twelve years old. Since this legendary performance, I have seen the baddest, meanest, most intense and furious music acts ranging from Slayer to SuperJoint Ritual. I have to admit that I would be the first one to trash My Ruin if they weren't as masterful in the art of true heavy music as they are. Tairrie B on vocals has always possessed a Mae West "Fuck me? Fuck you!" swagger since her early days with Manhole and Tura Satana and has gone head up with anyone that dared to disrespect her or My Ruin's music. Let's face it, she has over the years slowly become one of the most important female vocalists in Rock 'n' Roll history and My Ruin has grown to be a band that's darkly passionate, highly outspoken and thoroughly unrelenting in their live stage performance. Their latest album "The Brutal Language" is a major thrill-ride in distorted doom riffs and howling death cries."

"Over the years My Ruin have brought various new aspects to the genre known as ‘metal’, challenging what has been and what is to come in one fell swoop. Combining Tairrie’s roots in rap and hip-hop with the influence of spoken word style pieces of Lydia Lunch, the band have amalgamated these genres and created a new breed of metal. The Brutal Language takes on a more classic approach to metal and takes it on hard. Multi-talented, multi-instrumentalist Mick Murphy recorded not only the guitar parts on this album, but the drum parts also, and, if that wasn’t enough, produced the whole album too proving that talent really does seep from this guy’s pores. Tairrie’s raw, infallible vocals are yet to be matched for passion and brutality by any other band and this is clear in tracks such as ‘Spilling Open’ and ‘Metamorphosis’. Both also wielding the secret of searing riffs and driven drums that pierce through the silence and show the “wannabees” how real, heavy rock ‘n’ roll should sound. Taking no hostages, this album is the perfect heavy metal album; dirty, grungy, raw and relentless."

"Hailing from the sunny state of California, My Ruin is out to rip your face off with its Sabbath induced female fronted metal onslaught. With their last disc being on Century Media My Ruin were ready to take the world by storm but time changes everything and now the band is back with a new line-up and a new label (their own) and a take no prisoners attitude. With the recordings about to begin for this CD the band found itself without a rhythm section so Mick Murphy not only handles the six string duties on the disc but he also provides all drums and bass. Murphy is a man of many talents indeed and his work is augmented by vocalist Tairrie B. The Brutal Language is indeed that, brutal. The soundscape is made up of sludgy doomy Sabbath riffs over which Tairrie B snarls with the ferocity of a wild animal. “Summer of Hell”, “Spilling Open” and “Silverlake 6751″ all benefit from Murphy’s sense of melody which is in contrast to Tairrie B’s blazing vocals. It took a few listens to really get into this CD. The first couple of spins were nothing special but then the catchy guitar riffs of Murphy began to take hold and the venom spitting vocals of Tairrie B took on a life of their own. Why the band would choose to release this CD on their own after having previous release on Century Media is a question I have to ask myself but as long as they create high quality metal like this who cares?"

Cor, ain’t Tairrie B getting on a bit? Shouldn’t she have done an Idlewild by now and gone all REM? Shouldn’t time have healed all the wrongs? Shouldn’t she just… get over it? As if. Remember: this is Tairrie (fucking) B. She was always the most aggressive woman in the metal world during her time as the legendary front woman of Manhole and Tura Satana. And didn’t everyone know it. She is the reason Kittie ever happened. There can be no mistake that My Ruin is Tairrie B’s vehicle and, as such, it’s her emotion and vitriol that stand out. The anger that has been inherent in each and every record she has produced is more than definitely still here and if anything seems to have been focused further and more effectively. This may be due to the partial disbanding prior to recording where only Tairrie and her multi-faceted prime axeman *Mick Murphy *were left to record The Brutal Language. This unforeseen turn of events may have led to the tightest recording sessions she has ever undertaken. Grammy winner Nick Raskulinecz (Velvet Revolver, Ministry) mixes this unmistakably metal album with dark concision and furious fluency. The mood and method is epitomized during the album closer: a cover of a Mudhoney track, ‘Touch Me I’m Sick’. Brutalized and made even sludgier, the former grunge classic is screamed forth by Tairrie to an uncompromising backdrop of Sabbathy riffs and fiercely pounded drums. It is, indeed, a fitting climax as the album builds and builds in both quality and stature. ‘Silverlake’ is the first true standout track, featuring swinging siren guitar work, swathing over those famed unrepentant snarled vocals. Later, in _‘Summer Of Hell’ _we see the full extent of the anger unleashed upon the masses and even as the album edges closer to its finale, the unbridled violence never lets up. This is a clear testament to the meeting of minds and talent between Tairrie B and Mick Murphy. As a result, you and I are both rather glad that Ms.B has been thus far unable to iron out her differences with the rest of civilization.

"You know how moths emerge from the cocoon as a beautiful butterfly? That's pretty much a good way to describe the metamorphosis of the Los Angeles powerhouse known as My Ruin. The band, which has always been untouchable live, has had good records. Good, not great. The slate is completely wiped clear with the release of The Brutal Language. The unrelenting chainsaw sound which usually strikes with gale wind force is intact but has been tunneled into a more potent weapon this time out. Something has changed in the camp of My Ruin, resulting in undoubtedly the best record of their career and one of the best of any of the year. While the face of My Ruin has always been the larger-than-life persona of vocalist and founder Tairrie B, musically the band has been under the direction of guitarist Mick Murphy. And on The Brutal Language, he has turned in a performance that should turn heads. During the recording of the record, the band's former rhythm section up and quit. Undaunted, Murphy, who also assumed the producer's title, erased their tracks and laid down bass and drums as well as contributing the awesome guitar that he is slowly becoming known for. He has been called "the best kept secret in rock and roll" but that should become a thing of the past as this record gets heard. Starting with his sound, which summons all the best elements of Tony Iommi, he lays down a crunchy bedrock so thick you could walk on it. Then you have to notice all the subtle changes he's incorporated this time out. There are little instrumental breathers for a bar or two which really supercharge the dynamics of each song. As well, he has begun playing more solos, which are real welcome to these ears. Not to be overshadowed is the aforementioned Miss B, who casts a long shadow on her own. Known for her mega-charged full-on vocal delivery, Miss B has learned that a little variety can be more powerful than the one gear she has used in the past. Previous works would find Tairrie just bowling over everything in her way, to be the last one standing. On The Brutal Language she has opted to use some different styles. Don't fret if you think that means she has mellowed, however. She still mostly slices and dices the words that spew from her arsenal of poison-tipped weapons. To any fan of My Ruin, this is absolute nirvana. The Brutal Language has the band digging down deep and pulling out their best effort to reach a whole new level."

"The Brutal Language is the latest offering from My Ruin. Lead guitarist Mick Murphy plays thick and droning guitar riffs that are reminiscent of early Sabbath. Bassist Meghan Mattox and drummer Yael departed prior to recording 'The Brutal Language' but not to be daunted Murphy himself stepped up to the plate as not only bassist but drummer; adding a solid no frills backbeat that thickens like a fine rue. Tairrie sounds like an angry Joan Jett on 'Silverlake 6571' then descends into a death metal screeching during “The Devil Walks.” The way she maneuvers between the singing and the screeching and the sometimes spoken vocals is truly an amazing feat. Ten songs of a mostly evil nature comprise 'The Brutal Language'; songs like 'Summer in Hell' and 'Imitation Christ.' Although there seems to be a humorous side to the band with the track 'Vince Vaughn'. Either way, the song is catchy and Tairrie sticks with her actual singing voice, making the song more appealing to a wider audience. The other notable stand out on this disc is the Mudhoney cover of 'Touch Me I’m Sick,' which sounds a lot fuller and, yes, more brutal than the original. 'The Brutal Language' is short and to the point. The tempo of the disc is very constant and offers neither a neck-breaking thrasher, nor any type of ballad; just straightforward rockers with screeching vocals and blistering leads. Tairrie is passionate and delivers with a lot of gusto, but it isn’t pretty."

"The full sound of this band from Tairrie B (Tura Satana/Manhole) really is what invites listeners in during tracks like “Touch Me I’m Sick”. Everything is given a bass-heavy luster that allows the swampy-rock of the band to shine through. Couple that with sizzling guitar lines and arrangements that are similar in style to “Deliverance”-era Corrosion of Conformity, and the band has some serious positives to win people over with their “The Brutal Language”. The ability of the band to bludgeon listeners with their brutal guitar/bass attack (as such is present during “Summer of Hell”) is just one of their attack; equally present are the ever-more-chaotic and driven guitar solos as were present in “Touch Me I’m Sick”. The band gets an infusion of punk structuring during “Summer of Hell”, where a simplifying of their sound really allows listeners to tune in easier. “Cold Hands, Warm Heart” is really innovative in the sense that the guitars take precedence over the vocals; in fact, the roles of the two seem to be switched. That is to say that the guitar is the more narrative track during the track, while the screaming present is in much more of an instrumental role. The ability of My Ruin to move into different genres is really what makes the disc such a success; for example, “The Devil Walks” vacillates between the dirty-metal of bands like Superjoint Ritual while still maintaining a fire for the seventies rock of Led Zeppelin and Kansas. The result is not some weakly-functioning Frankenstein’s monster, but really something that shows individuals that My Ruin is really able to pull off whatever they’d like. By far, the work that My Ruin does when they are confronted with repetition is the strongest fare on the disc. By not showing any weakness – by being confident, the band can succeed where countless bands have failed. “The Brutal Language” is the strongest disc I’ve heard, in an all-around sense. The production allows the band’s already-formidable instrumentation to shine, while the arrangement of “The Brutal Language” is continually shi fting but never dubious. The tracks may not be proper for average rock-radio, but place them in a forum where metal-minded viewers reside (Uranium, Headbanger’s Ball) and watch the sales of this disc increase into the stratosphere. This is metal, pure and simple and its reluctance to fit neatly into a specific genre makes it endearing."

"This CD was my introduction to My Ruin and I have to say that this definitely a kickass release. The music is heavy and the vocalist kicks your ass with her well crafted lyrics and brutally passionate voice. They have an infectious blend of punk, rock, metal, and attitude. I liked the way the CD started out with a spoken litany and then afterwards you get sonically assaulted. They do a cover of Mudhoney's "Touch Me I'm Sick" which ends the disc. All in all the record has a damn infectious groove to it and you'll probably find yourself playing air drums or air guitar. It's that good."

"Tairrie B & Co. head up a night of massive weighty riffola! Not only is she a highly charismatic, commanding front woman but also that they've got a smashing line in rolling, greasy heavy metal that wouldn't shame Down and tonight the volume makes Mick Murphys lumbering, bottom heavy riffs and ear shredding solos feel like an avalanche crashing into your ears. Tairrie bellows her way through tracks like 'Beauty Fiend' with scary conviction, straddling the monitors, kissing punters hands and generally giving it some serious metal welly. Tonight proves that when they focus they land right in the middle of the dartboard."

As if My Ruin’s first UK show in yonks isn’t cause enough for celebration,
it just so happens that it coincides with Tairrie B’s birthday. Accordingly, there’s a real party vibe to the proceedings with bands and fans pulling out all the stops to ensure it goes with a bang! Tonights headliners have the crowd eating out of the palms of their hands within seconds of launching into opener “Silverlake 6571” as they plough through a set that mixes the stoner infected riffery of last years “The Brutal Language” with the more straightforward vitriolic outpourings of old it becomes clear why they inspire such devotion from certain quarters. She has her critics but it becomes impossible to deny that Miss B oozes star quality. Tonight she comes across warm and genuine, even if it is faintly disconcerting to witness her graciously accepting homemade birthday gifts one minute and unleashing eye wateringly caustic screams the next. It’s all over far too quickly, but isn’t that true of any decent party?”

“My Ruin are an act who really love their fans. Sure, many can say “it’s all about the fans” but for Tairrie B and her mighty men, this message is truly honest. Sporting a (mostly) new line up,Miss B struts her way around the stage merging herself and the music into the crowd. The new guys fit in perfectly and impress with sharp rhythms and grinding beats. As always Mick Murphys guitar skills are flaunted to the max and Tairrie is the embodiment of the sexy, hypnotic front-woman who commands attention. Her mix of screeching vocals and powerful words sound unstilted even though she announces she is sick as a dog and “suffering from a nasty cold."The band work through a winning combination of old and new material playing popular choices like “Beauty Fiend” and “Miss Ann Thrope” as well as tracks off the recently released album. A dedicated, sweet, angry and humble performance.My Ruin are back and stronger than ever!”

“Tairrie B & company storm the stage and set the rammed venue alight with their crushingly heavy match strike grooves. But it’s really Tairrie B’s fan grabbing bravado and raw throated growls that steal the spotlight-clearly she’s comfortable in the skin of an ex rapper turned stoner princess. She throws herself into the crowd like a rag doll and judging by the throng’s ability to mouth her every lyrics back to her she has little to worry about because My Ruin have rocked this night."
