that-guy-with-glasses The band was introduced to me as "how Black Sabbath would sound if they took a more rock n'roll path." Definitely true! Favorite track: Til Death.

Flex Well, there all fucking rippers but i cant pick them all! This is exactly how i like my rock. Wicked guitar and bass tones. Wicked switcharoos on the solos...great riffs, vocals, drums. Fucking absolutely love it! Cant believed i messed them in Adelaide. Putz! Reminds me of Ozzy, Skid Row, Sabbath. SIck job guys!! Favorite track: Bloody Tools.

Topi I pretty much grew up on bread and glam metal, so I don't mind the latter, if that's really what Dead City Ruins represents. Whatever the case, this album is a pleasure to listen to!

paul rote Hello my name is Paul Rote and I'm a bandcampohilc ! I'm addicted to buying music on bandcamp. It is the only explanation for buying this on the strength of one song. The rest is some sort of glam metalish stuff. NOT what I'm into for sure ! Favorite track: Dio.

Happenzella 06:51
I had a dream last night All you had told me was right I fought to keep the panic down. My ears scream like the bay of a hound Am I drowning again Got no way out don't see no end Screamin oh set me free I am chained to what cannot be Life screaming past my blackened eyes Don't care if I live or die Blood screaming through my pulsing veins Heart pounding am I goin insane Am I drowning again Got no way out don't see no end Screamin oh set me free I am chained to what cannot be Hold the last in line Nobody's getting out alive Taught the lies and the deception Follow the masses to destruction Am I drowning again Got no way out don't see no end Screamin oh set me free I am chained to what cannot be

Til Death 04:05
Out in the desert I buried my brother Stripped and salted his bones I dug it deep laid him six feet under Barked at the moon till it rained With blackened eyes I watched the darkness creeping Dead hands tearing my soul Watching the prophet handing gold to the people The sky was bleeding fire and ice Yeeeeaaaahhhhhhh Yeeeeaaaahhhhhhh This king of no man A dealer with no hand A lifetime of sin and hate This king of no man A dealer with no hand I'll lay myself to waste My lungs burnt fire My heart made of iron Salt turns me to rust Like frost from winter My soul crushing under The weight and pain of it all The dead hands dragging me under I can't recover the lost Of barren fields Unforeseeable horrors I'm fallin' dead weight head first Yeeeeaaaahhhhhhh Yeeeeaaaahhhhhhh This king of no man A dealer with no hand A life time of sin and hate This king of no man A dealer with no hand I'll lay myself to waste (Solo) This king of no man A dealer with no hand A lifetime of sin and hate This king of no man A dealer with no hand I'll lay myself to waste

My body aches with pain inside The feelings that torment my mind You bitch and you moan But I'm the one who walks alone I freeze to death in the night Then I walk alone You know you're never there Then I walk alone No one cares Am I gone? Sell my soul to the devil's fire Alone, I walk alone And I freeze to death in the night You stare in my eyes You tell me stupid lies Sneak around behind You tell me I'm the one But you're the one with the loaded gun I freeze to death in the night. Then I walk alone You know you're never there Then I walk alone No one cares Am I gone? Sell my soul to the devil's fire Alone, I walk alone And I freeze to death in the night (Solo) Then I walk alone You know you're never there Then I walk alone No one cares Am I gone? Sell my soul to the devil's fire Alone, I walk alone And I freeze to death in the night

Hurt 05:13
Whoa you live your life in sin Tell me sweet little lies with this hell in your eyes screaming bloody murder Whoa beat me like a dog Always acting crazy got your finger on the trigger you don't fuckin realise Nobody knows Ain't nobody's business how my baby treats me One o these days I'll wake up crazy Grab my gun and kill my baby One o these days I'll wake up alone I'm fallin deeper into the recesses of my mind The cracks are closin in on me I've watched the light begin fading further away This darkness is closing in on me Nobody knows Ain't nobody's business how my baby treats me One o these days I'll wake up crazy Grab my gun and kill my baby One o these days I'll wake up alone Nobody knows Ain't nobody's business how my baby treats me One o these days I'll wake up crazy Grab my gun and kill my baby One o these days I'll wake up alone One o these days I'll grab my Smith and Wesson Gonna teach her a lesson One o these days I'll wake up alone

Blue Bastard 05:19
Stand tough when the trouble begins Walk tall in this city of sin Ain't no one gonna watch your back Stop still its a sneak attack Cold metal in the dead of night tryin' to take your soul but you gotta fight. 40 nights and 40 days Can't hardly see through this pourin' rain Cannot clear my brain from this haze Awoke again in searing pain. One bottle to save us through this train wreck Drinking to ease the pain away I need you to carry me back home One bottle to get us through this night. North to South and East to West Can't stop this Bastard ain't got time for no rest People screaming where we gonna go Been robbed blind in the centre of Rome You got no idea how it feels to beat up pushed down and second-hand sold. Found The Dove, Leeds us astray London's burnin headin Nottingham's way My mind's ablaze and all I think about is where we went wrong. One bottle to save us through this train wreck Drinking to ease the pain away I need you to carry me back home One bottle to get us through this night. We passed the desert into the sun Drove the Bastard like a loaded gun From the mountains in Northern Lights Dead walk alone in these street fights. When it's over blood and pain Sent home then you're just back to work again Dreams and memories they all fade Can't hardly remember the names Even though the scars remain I cannot wait to hit the road again. One bottle to save us through this train wreck Drinking to ease the pain away I need you to carry me back home One bottle to get us through this night.

Broken Bones 05:30
Broken bones and bloodied fists You're on the road and you're sick of it Worked half ya life away Broke your back and you ain't gettin' paid This killin' road takes all it can White line fever will ruin a man Fortune favours the bold so they say Memories will die then they'll fade away For what? For broken bones And bloodied fists You're on the road and you're sick of it So you run, run away Sell your soul for another day But you run, run away Live your life, day by day You're stretching thin and falling in You gotta stand tall in this town of sin Don't take me home can't make me go No explanation got nothin' to show For what? For broken bones And bloodied fists You're on the road and you're sick of it So you run, run away Sell your soul for another day But you run, run away Live your life Day by day

Dio 06:17
Neon nights on the silver mountain Little man with iron lungs You read the signs on the southern stars Fire breathes so real Something comes along rips you outta the world You seen the stripes now you ride forever Verses on the winds of time From the elf to the edge of the rainbow You left your mark on Heaven and Hell Something comes along rips you outta the world Steel wings won't carry you to heaven that's for sure Tonight you're dining with the Gods Your words will carry on through the sands of forever more You left us empty as the night The dawn will rise again will remind The world with heavy heart will carry on in the dark You're gone!

Bloody Tools 09:40
Over and over you're rolling Your life passes into the night I search for you brother in the southern stars Around midnight You fall back down into the ground my hand reaches into your mind Drag you back down to earth again Stick around for a while You said I'd never walk alone Here I am You roll, roll, roll right over again Ain't no fear in your eyes I search for you brother in the midnight sky You know I never cry You look at me God you laugh at me you know you'll never die Cause in my mind brother you'll live on till the end of time You said I'd never walk alone Here I am I'm sick inside Bloody tools The butcher Bloody tools I'm sick, sick, sick You'll never be forgotten Till the end we meet again I curse the sky with open arms Miss you brother till the end I'll hold my head up high (Solo) Never again, never again Never again, never again Never again, never again Never again, never again Never again, never again Never again, never again You'll never be forgotten Till the end we meet again I curse the sky with open arms Miss you brother till the end I'll hold my head up high Bloody tools The butcher Bloody tools I'm sick, sick, sick
