REVIEWS:

Saints Of Ruin-Gothic Until the End of the World

“You’re dressed in your black trench coat and black boots. They look like they’re for fashion, but they’re really for kicking ass, containing those demons of the night lurking in the shadows, hiding from the moonlight. Your finger nails are painted red. from the blood dripping down your arm from an earlier confrontation. What matters now is finding your lover. Your confidant. Whose saliva will heal your battle wound and whose touch will remind you there’s a reason you’re cursed with the knowledge of dark forces. Saints Of Ruin Rock the Apocalypse with a gothic sound. Listening to them feels like you’re at a nightclub 50 years in the future. “
