SVÄTSOX - Ruins 1982

Ruins was released in 1982 on Platen Records. Dolf Planteydt took a subscription behind the recording console and Svätsox, like their buddies Wormer, learns quickly and well. The bass took the tape, the sound becomes thick and composed of the scale. Ferrie (or ferry, it's the same) added a trumpet to his array of two pieces, giving his hymns punk tunes that will surely Dog Faced Hermans heard. A fourth member (Roon) was also added in the credits, giving a helping hand for Heyne singing and taking care of the organ parts of it discreet! Angular bass line, noise, playing guitar scratching, sublayer noisy, it's Aural Guerilla early. Slight reverb on the drums as it was common at the time but without creating the typical new-wave sound. Ruins is a great album. Titles surly, threatening, exploded as the grandiose Hitsquad, guitar and echo on voltage, the long climb controlled by The Cartridge box. Punk binary is completed on the roadside and we take the full brunt of a truck noise-punk avant-garde enough when you look back. The band split up in 1986.
