Ten silent years are over! Good news for Cor Scorpii fans, because the black metal band has announced a new album called Ruin and also revealed its details. After the debut, Monument, the new record will drop on the 15th June on Dark Essence Records.

The result of a lengthy, and at times arduous, song writing process, Ruin draws its inspiration from classical music, folk melodies and the soundscapes of Nordic extreme metal. Revealing the hidden talents that can be found amongst its members, Cor Scorpii have, on Ruin, made use of instruments that are unusual for a metal band, such as the accordion and mandolin.

Recorded at various locations over a period of three years, Ruin was mixed by Børge Finstad in his Toproom Studio, and mastered by Tom Kvålsvoll at his Kvalsonic Lab. Seamlessly blending epic, soaring melodies, with the harshness of extreme metal, the album includes guest appearances by the classical singer Annika Beinnes, as well as Mats Lerberg who lend their considerable vocal talents to three tracks each.
