"Saints Of Ruin - Gothic until the end of the world
You're dressed in your Black trench coat and Black boots. They look like they’re for fashion, but they’re really for kicking ass, containing those demons of the night lurking in the shadows, hiding from the moonlight. Your finger nails are painted red. from the blood dripping down your arm from an earlier confrontation. What matters now is finding your lover. Your confidant. Whose saliva will heal your battle wound and whose touch will remind you there’s a reason you’re cursed with the knowledge of dark forces. Saints Of Ruin Rock the Apocalypse with a gothic sound. Listening to them feels like you’re at a nightclub 50 years in the future. “
The San Francisco Chronicl
Saints Of Ruin are a modern Goth-Rock band, combining powerful melodic vocals and mysterious lyrics with elements of metal guitars and electronic undercurrents.
The Saints Of Ruin were formed in early 2007 by Tommy Dark and Ruby Ruin. Tommy left Voltaire’s band The Oddz, and New York City, and headed to San Francisco so he could play with the extremely talented singer and bass player Ruby Ruin. The duo spent time writing together before looking for the rest of the band. When they felt ready, they found keyboardist/vocalist John Paul Young. Classically trained, John brings the Industrial element and haunting harmonies to this Gothic Rock band. Finally, they found the drummer that would deliver perfect timing along with pounding rhythms and dynamic showmanship… Michael Broadus became the 4th Saint. Kat Downs joins us on keyboards.
