US Technical Death Metal monsters Ominous Ruinhave unveiled “Seeds Of Entropy” the face melting first single taken from their second album “Requiem” which will be released on May 9 via Willowtip Records.
Seeds Of Entropy is an explosion of chaotic riffs, intense vocals and rapid fire drums at a dizzying 270 beats per minute!
The song kicks off Requiem proper after a piano and guitar intro lulls you in to a false sense of tranquility. Picking up from where the bands debut album, Amidst Voices that Echo in Stone left off, Seeds of Entropy utilises many of the same musical phrases and stylings, while expanding on familiar motifs at even faster speeds. Lyrically, Seeds of Entropy represents the beginning of the inevitable slip into darkness as entropy consumes reality, both physical and mental form.
This bleak theme is masterfully expanded on throughout the rest of the album.
For now, immerse yourself in the Seeds Of Entropy.

Formed in 2010 in San Francisco’s iconic Bay Area, Ominous Ruin aimed to fuse death metal’s raw brutality with melodic depth. Founded by guitarist Alex Bacey, bassist Mitch Yoesle, and initial vocalist Adam Rosado, the band hit its stride with drummer Harley Blandford’s technical prowess and guitarist Joel Guernsey’s dark, intricate riffs. After parting with Rosado, they found their edge in 2023 with Crystal Rose, a fierce vocal phenom whose guttural growls and searing screams redefined their sound on their soon to be released album, Requiem.
Ominous Ruin blends technicality and brutality with catchy, melodic hooks; think mind melting riffs, groovy drums, mesmerising bass, and chaotic, unique vocals. Their lyrics dive into internal/external demise, self destruction, multiverse theories, and misanthropy, paired with striking visual concepts. Requiem marks a shift from their early straightforward aggression, weaving in melodic and atmospheric chaos influenced by Necrophagist, Behemoth, and more. Now crafting their next release, the band hints at symphonic twists atop their signature heaviness. With Crystal leading the charge, Ominous Ruin are a band pushing extreme music’s limits
Ominous Ruin are a must for fans of
Spawn of Possession, Necrophagist, Archspire, Severed Savior, Decrepit Birth, Odious Mortem, The Black Dahlia Murder, Nile, Inferi, Fallujah, Behemoth.
Requiem will be released on May 9
