Formed in 2019, Rites to Ruin is the new heavy metal offering from ex-Triaxis vocal powerhouse, Krissie Kirby, and guitarist Matt Chambers. Joined by Tom Ross (formerly of Shadows of Serenity and Traitor Born) on drums, Paul Boschen (formerly of Burn Thy Enemy and RPG) on bass and Lee Cartner (formerly of Deja Vu ) on guitars, Rites to Ruin are a traditional heavy metal band with a modern twist. Blending all sub-genres of metal with some Hard Rock and Soul, Rites to Ruin promises to bring a breath of fresh air to TNWOBTM
Citing appearances at Bloodstock, Hammerfest, SOSFest, amongst other festivals, numerous tours of Europe, and supporting heavy metal big hitters such as Saxon, Blaze Bayley, Queensryche, Girlschool, and more between each of the members, Rites to Ruin has the experience and gravity to bring a big sound, full of energy that will have the whole crowd head banging.
