Product Details
My Ruin
Debut album by the Essen combo, which includes members of Swan Songs, Still Talk, A Time To Stand, Torpedo Dreigang, Starry and Cannoneer. The band was founded in 2018 and their sound is based on favorite bands such as Propagandhi, A Wilhelm Scream and Strike Anywhere.
Together with a bit of 2000s emo sensibility, their music is fast, complicated and technical, yet melodic and emotionally charged. Fast thrash guitar riffs to hardcore drums beyond 180 bpm alternate with quiet, atmospheric interludes.
Singer Lucas switches fluidly between singing and shouts and thus leads through songs that deliberately do not follow a verse-chorus pattern in order to maintain the tension. Fear and anger characterize the themes of the album, the title of which, Unrest, refers to both personal inner unrest and the imbalance of the world.
Songs that were written in the context of pandemics, wars and the confrontation with one's own depression set the basic mood. But Unrest also depicts reconciliation and gratitude: for example through the realization that transience can also be beautiful, as in the closing track This Island Earth.

PPWR & SHIPPING
A little word on PPWR
Chances are, you’ve already heard of the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation, aka PPWR.
As the name suggests, the whole idea is to reduce packaging waste and make us all a little more conscious about our environmental footprint. Which is, obviously, a good thing.
Pressing records, however, is already something of an ecological nightmare — and we haven’t even started talking about the bonkers ways records travel around the world.
Here at Not Sorry, we try to keep things as sensible as possible: we ship in cardboard mailers, use paper-based packing material and non-plastic tape, and usually throw in only a few flyers and stickers. Some records come wrapped in foil, some don’t. We’re pretty sure you know how to recycle these materials — but if you’re unsure, just drop us a line at weare@not-sorry.de and we’ll figure it out together.
Unfortunately, PPWR also comes with a rather massive downside for small businesses like ours: we would need to register and obtain packaging recycling certificates in every single EU country we ship to. The costs and paperwork involved are simply not manageable for us.
So, for the time being, we can only ship to Germany and all non-EU countries worldwide. Sorry about that!
If you’re inside the European Union but outside Germany and there’s a record in our shop that you absolutely need in your life, please don’t give up just yet. Drop us a line at weare@not-sorry.de and we’ll see if we can find a way to get it to you.
