Edit history

Hailing from Maryborough, Queensland is three-piece alt-hard-rock outfit Ruination. Featuring Luke Karolak (Guitar/Vocals), Brady Weber (Bass) and Josh Brooks (Drums), the trio entwine soft soundscapes with a melodic, rock edge at its core. Brought about in 2021, with Luke bringing riffs, melodies and lyrics he had for decades to Josh to establish a rock-solid foundation. Once established Brady came into scope to bring about the low end needed to round out the sound and bring forth the rhythmic soundwaves. Ruination draws influences from a diverse range of acts including Seether, The Pixies, COG, The Beatles, Black Sabbath to Alice In Chains, Nirvana, Tool, Silverchair, HUM, Deftones, Superheaven, Karnivool and more. There is a distinct sound being crafted through the band’s song writing which shows restraint in soothing and soft intros almost ballad like, upward to Heavy and soaring Choruses.
