Vocalist Manne Ikonen (ex-Ghost Brigade) tells us about the song: “»Ruins Of Insanity« tells a horrifying story about a couple struggling with a severe addiction and acquisitiveness in a dystopic world of chaos and misery, mind taken over by blinding lunacy so strong that reality and common sense is no longer in hand.”

Founding member Janne Markus adds: “Melancholy, own, common, hated, ashamed, loved, desired. The disintegration of two people’s world and its reflection in everything around them. Leaving only emptiness. As a song this is the most straight-forward, catchy, melodic, not as heavy as the other songs on the album.”

Produced, engineered & mixed by Aksu Hanttu at Wave Sound studio. Mastered by Svante Forsbäck at Chartmakers.
