THE RUINS OF BEVERAST: 'Foulest Semen' CD To Receive North American Release

March 9, 2010

Germany's Ván Records will release "Foulest Semen Of A Sheltered Elite", the third full-length album from THE RUINS OF BEVERAST, in North America this spring. The CD was released in Europe mid-September 2009 and immediately became the most critically acclaimed THE RUINS OF BEVERAST album to date. Now with the help of Ván countrymen AFM Records' North American distribution, THE RUINS OF BEVERAST's devouring work will be properly distributed to North American audiences.

THE RUINS OF BEVERAST is the solo project of Alexander von Meilenwald, known as the ultra-fast, maniacally technical drummer of famed German horde NAGELFAR, as well as being a live and/or session member of TRUPPENSTURM, ABUSUS, VERDUNKELN and other "kult" acts. The band has constantly astounded audiences on every release — including 2004's "Unlock The Shrine", 2006's "Rain Upon The Impure", a split EP with URFAUST and a four-way split LP with DEATHGATE ARKANUM, NIHIL NOCTURNE and ANTI — each album showcasing more forward-thinking progression and more creatively constructed aggression than the last.

Meilenwald fully self-constructs every element of THE RUINS OF BEVERAST, taking the veracity and creativity of his brutal percussion, axemanship and synth-laden atmospheres to otherworldly levels on "Foulest Semen Of A Sheltered Elite", and pushing the album to the limits with a massive play time of nearly an hour and twenty minutes! The end result is far more involved and intriguing than a simple black metal release; the thunderous, explosive, unnerving, epic and brilliantly frightening album is easily one of the most flooring and unique releases in recent metal history.
