Album Review: Ruins by Colamo If you’re into rock music that feels raw and unfiltered, Ruins by Colamo is worth a spin. Released in 2012 under the radar (literally—on the “Not On Label” label), this US-born album doesn’t try to be anything it’s not. It’s gritty, emotional, and kinda rough around the edges, but that’s what makes it stick. Let’s talk about two tracks that stood out for me. First up, “The Shaking And The Stuttering.” This one grabs you right away with its punchy riffs and an energy that feels like controlled chaos. You can almost picture the band losing their minds in a dimly lit garage while recording it. There’s something about how the vocals waver between yelling and singing—it’s imperfect, sure, but it hits hard. Like, I found myself humming parts of it days later without even realizing. Then there’s “Slaughter Without Pause,” which is just as intense but leans more into a driving rhythm. It’s got this relentless vibe, like running full speed through a storm. The drums are pounding, and the guitars sound like they’re on fire. Honestly, it’s one of those songs where you forget everything else going on around you because it’s so immersive. Not gonna lie, I accidentally headbanged at my desk while listening to it, which probably looked ridiculous. Other tracks like “Blacktop” and “Fountains” keep the momentum going, though they didn’t leave as big of a mark on me personally. Still, the whole album has this cohesive feel, like each song belongs exactly where it is. What’s wild is how Ruins manages to feel both personal and universal. It’s like Colamo isn’t trying to impress anyone—they’re just laying it all out there. And honestly? That honesty is refreshing. Here’s the kicker: after listening to Ruins, I started wondering why more people aren’t talking about this album. Maybe it’s because it wasn’t backed by some big label or flashy marketing. Or maybe it’s just waiting for the right ears to find it. Either way, if you stumble across Ruins, give it a shot. Who knows? It might ruin your playlist—in the best way possible.

Interesting fact about Album

Here’s something cool: The album *Ruins* by Colamo, released in 2012, is a raw rock gem that never got tied to a big label. It came straight from the US and stayed independent under "Not On Label." One standout track, *The Shaking And The Stuttering*, grabs you with its gritty energy. It’s the kind of music that feels personal, like it was made just for you.
