A band that is based out of Portland Maine and doesn't hold back, Ruin is a breath of fresh air for modern day metal. They formed their original lineup in early 2005 as a three piece; including Richard Carey (Guitar/Vocals), Craig Carey (Drums) and Ken Vought (Guitar). Kevin Whitman (bass) joined the lineup in the summer of 07 at the Hands of Enmity CD release party."Hands of Enmity" is a raw selection of songs that range from speedy, thrashing madness to melodic guitars with soulful leads. Although Ruin is a newer band on the scene, they continue to gain new fans at every show and are constantly expanding, catching the attention of local radio stations and playing opening slots for the incoming national metal bands. The band is currently playing shows in the Portland Maine area to support the debut album, and branching out into northern Maine and New Hampshire. Everyone who has supported this band so far should keep their eyes open for what is in store as Ruin is far from done and continues push the boundaries of their creativity and love for the art of heavy music. They are looking towards the future and have just finished mastering their second CD, "Human Moral Deception". The best is yet to come!

Kesera formed in 2007 in Bruswick, Maine. These veterans of the Maine music scene forge a new brand of metal for the 21st century, while paying homage to the classic metal of the eighties and nineties. In 2008, Kesera released it's self-titled 3 song EP. After some line-up changes, they began to revamp their style to further seperate themselves from the status quo of modern day metal and give their fans a darker and more brutal approach.
