Featuring guest appearances from Trivium’s Matt Heafy, Paul Ortiz / Chimp Spanner and Plini, Ruins is a radical and darker 2020 re-interpretation of Daniel Tompkins’ debut solo album Castles (2019).

Significantly different from Castles, tracks have been renamed and aside from the lyrics, Ruins is essentially a new album.

---------

Ruins was created by producer and friend Eddie Head (Haji’s Kitchen) and also features guest artists and additional co-creators. Paul Ortiz (Chimpspanner) rewrote the music and acted as co-producer alongside Tompkins, and Plini plays guitar on opener ‘Wounded Wings’. First single ‘The Gift’ features Trivium frontman and guitarist, Matt Heafy, a friend of Tompkins who is also a prominent streamer on Twitch. When Matt agreed to contribute to ‘The Gift’, Tompkins wrote the parts and Heafy recorded them from his home studio and live on Twitch. “It was an honour to be featured on ‘The Gift’. Having been a longtime fan of Tesseract and Dan, this was a wonderful collaboration to take part of. People are going to be floored with this release.”

Qué bueno es este tío y que poco se habla de él.

Me ha gustado mas éste que el primer adelanto.

El disco al caer.

Bastante bien los dos adelantos, a ver qué tal el disco..

The Gift me ha recordado a los primeros Tesseract.., mola!

Le he dado una escucha y está muy bien. Sin duda, mejor que el anterior.

Coincido en lo infravalorado que está.
