In Ruins is a doom metal band formed in 2021 in Timișoara (Romania). The original lineup consisted of Urmuz on vocals, Putrid on guitar and bass, and St. Oliver on drums. The band’s debut release, the five-track EP »Ruthless Portrait«, was issued in the spring of 2022. Musically rooted in doom/death metal, the EP is marked by lyrics that revolve around introspection and meditations on death.

The band’s first full-length album, »We Are All To Perish«, features Urmuz (vocals, guitars, bass) and St. Oliver (drums) and represents a clear move toward funeral doom metal. The concept for the album emerged in 2024, when St. Oliver discovered the work of Russian poet Serghei Eesenin. After careful selection, four of Esenin’s poems were chosen and served as the primary source of inspiration for Urmuz’s compositions.

Spanning more than forty minutes, the album guides the listener through a dense landscape of emotions and contemplations focused on mortality and the inevitability of death. To reinforce this atmosphere visually, the CD cover artwork depicts Serghei Esenin after his suicide, referencing the poet’s final act of writing a poem in his own blood.
