FOR RUIN Announces New Bassist

November 20, 2007

Irish black/death metallers FOR RUIN have issued the following update:

"We are very happy to announce Peter Lawlor as FOR RUIN's new bass player. Pete is a well-known bassist in the Cork scene with a lot of live experience and dedication. He also plays with CARNUN RISING and will make his live debut with FOR RUIN on December 15th at the band's Winterfest appearance in Cork as main support to PRIMORDIAL.

"FOR RUIN would like to thank Barry O' Sullivan for the year he was with us and we wish him all the very best for the future."

FOR RUIN released its debut album, "December", in September through Sentinel Records.

FOR RUIN has formally existed since late 2003. Based in Cork, Ireland, founding member John began playing a mixture of melodic black/death metal with strong harmonies, melodies and dynamics throughout. During 1998-2004, John wrote and demoed a number of tracks which finally found their way onto the split MEICHE/FOR RUIN demo.

FOR RUIN completed its second demo, "Shade", during winter 2005. In November 2005, Murphy was joined by three talented and energetic musicians and having completed an Irish tour with MAEL MORDHA in early February, 2006 as well as a number of other gigs, an appearance at the 2006 Day of Darkness festival was confirmed. A support slot with DECAPITATED followed.

In November 2006, Murphy was joined by drummer Barry English (CAPTAIN INSANO, I'LL EAT YOUR FACE),guitarist Drew Myers (ex-HALLOWED) and bassist Barry O'Sullivan (I'LL EAT YOUR FACE). A new promotional CD, "Obsidian", was released in limited quanities.

FOR RUIN filmed its performance at Winterfest 2006 on December 23, 2006 in its hometown of Cork for the "Live at Winterfest" DVD, which was released earlier in the year.
