True to its name, “Outspoken” pulls no punches. Fast, furious, and undeniably melodic, the track captures the tension between wanting to fit in and wanting to be left alone – a rallying cry for those who refuse to go quietly. Driven by a thrashing open-string drone, punctuated with searing single-note runs and pounding power chords, it’s pure Ruination: unapologetic and uncompromising. The spark for “Outspoken” came from a moment of serendipity – a new set of strings, a spontaneous riff, and a lyrical concept that hit hard and fast. The result is a direct, defiant anthem that demands to be played loud.

Hailing from Maryborough, Queensland is three piece alt-hard-rock outfit Ruination. The trio entwines soft soundscapes with a melodic and rock edge at its core. Ruination draws influences from The Beatles, Black Sabbath, Metallica, Alice In Chains, Pixies, COG, Tool, Silverchair, HUM, The Smashing Pumpkins, Melvins, Deftones, Grinspoon, Thrice, Kyuss, The Cure, Shihad, Quicksand, Helmet, RATM, Kerbdog Superheaven, Karnivool and more. Ruination express relatable themes of personal experiences entwined with daily observations on life, love, and the eternal quest for something greater – allowing the listener to evaluate and interpret life’s nuances at their own pace and draw their own conclusions.
