The Book of Patience

by Ruiner

supported by

Saffron Robe I have to be honest and say I wasn’t too keen on this at first. However, it’s not your usual looped/circular drone. It builds to an almost noise-like crescendo and it’s only when you listen to it in its entirety does its full potency emerge.

Justin@BlindMouse I just set this as my ringtone, and I will only answer when the song has finished!!
On a more serious note, drone to me is a necessity. To bring harmonic balance to all other genres that occupy my aural universe, it needs to be done with heart. It needs only the singular image of its cover and the smattering of words to imply its journey, but they need to morph seamlessly with the sound. Take a deep breath and turn the amp up, debilitate yourself and open The Book of Patience by Ruiner.

about

80 mins of longform drone.
For fans of Sunn O))), Bell Witch, William Basinski.
Orchestral, Melancholic, Sonic Obliteration.

Layers of ethereal, floral ambience gradually crescendos into a glacial wall of sound. The subtle evolution of the album aims to engage and enchant the listener, leading them through an otherworldly, monumental experience that is "The Book of Patience."

A cosmic experiential key designed assiduously to assess ones intrinsic stamina of postponed gratification. If absorbed wholly, transcendental exultation will be ascertained.

This album was recorded in one take using a bass bow on an open b string (mostly) of a 5-string bass by RUINER.
