Quarantined 02:34
QUARANTINED Music and lyrics by C. Michael Hall Performed by Amid the Ruins The virus comes Dispassionate No cure in sight, the end is here The rich retreat The poor die first We huddle in our caves in fear (chorus) A normal life denied Quarantined inside Your home becomes your tomb Embrace impending doom This faceless death Cold creeping fate Denied by fools and left to spread We count the dead And dig mass graves Then face the end consumed with dread (chorus repeats) The air outside bleeds poisonous death The touch of a hand spells the end The end of love, the loneliest death To never again hold a friend Infected world This doomed hellscape No question “if,” it’s simply “when” Those who yet live Envy the dead At least for them the nightmares end (chorus repeats)

Fuck Cancer 01:09
FUCK CANCER Music and lyrics by C. Michael Hall Performed by Amid the Ruins Dark thing that grows within you The silent death, unseen Cruel thing that soon devours you Unfair, unclean This poison’s meant to cure you You’re getting well, we swear This treatment just might kill you Fuck cancer, it’s not fair No-one deserves this Don’t want to say goodbye No-one deserves this There is no reason why No-one deserves this This is no way to die No-one deserves this Fuck cancer

FURTHER DOWN THE SPIRAL Music and lyrics by C. Michael Hall Performed by Amid the Ruins Insane, a sentence given for life This pain, the scars of violence and strife (chorus) My head turns against me Betrayed by my own mind Twisted by inward cruelty Unstable, misaligned Meltdown, the medication has failed Breakdown, by my demons assailed (chorus repeats) Further down the spiral (3x) (chorus repeats)

ONE EIGHT SEVEN Music and lyrics by C. Michael Hall Performed by Amid the Ruins Shots fired, man down A life bleeds into the street Cold steel, knife’s edge The final price for deceit Consumed with rage One second’s all that it takes Blood on your hands Too late your conscience awakes There’s no turning back No undoing this Are you a maniac? No undoing this Death changes everything No undoing this One eight seven (2x) Your judgment is at hand (4x)

about

The debut EP from Portland, OR grindcore machine Amid the Ruins! Four brutal tracks about loss, death, isolation, mental collapse, life during a pandemic (topical!), and (just to make things extrasunnyhappy) murder. It's delightful. Buy it for your grandma!

This EP is dedicated with love and admiration to Christopher Martinez, an artist, fan, musician, and brother-in-spirit whose passing during the early stages of this recording left an emotional void that will never be filled. This one's for you, Chris...wish you could've heard it!

Recorded in Portland, OR
April 29-May 8 2020
