Formed in 2006 by S. De La Moth and Genevieve, Menace Ruine have defined their unique, hypnotizing, and enchanting sound through a searing yet seamless mix of martial ambient, industrial, neofolk, and black metal. Where the waves of harsh yet elegant sound and noise lays the ground-work to complement the mesmerizing and haunting vocals of Geneviève, for those who haven’t heard and / or are not familiar with the oeuvre of Menace Ruine, one can say that their sound almost comes across a kinship mix and marriage of such luminaries as The Moon Lay Hidden Beneath A Cloud, Nico, Merzbow, and the more despondent aspects of Burzum.

On their debut album, "Cult of Ruins", the listener is subjected to a blend of super-intense sound layered with horrific howls and relentless blast beats, only to then be confronted with a melodic, haunting, ambient approach that retains immense power.
