Trials Releasing New Album "This Ruined World"

Chicago-based metal powerhouse Trials will release third full-length “This Ruined World” on July 24th.

Following “Witness to the Downfall” (2011) and “In the Shadow of Swords” (2013), Trials has returned with the band's most evolved effort to date. Featuring nine tracks of intricately-woven, relentless and forward-thinking metal, “This Ruined World” blends aggression and progression for devastating results.

"’This Ruined World’ contains some of the darkest, most complex music that we have made yet. We put a lot of blood and sweat into this project, and ended up with a record that represents us at our very best," stated guitarist / vocalist Mark Sugar.

The album was recorded by Pete Grossmann at Bricktop Recording (Weekend Nachos, Hollow Earth) and mixed by Quentin Poynter at Gunpoint Recording (The Skull, Veil of Maya), with art work courtesy of Eva Bialecki (Jar’d Loose).
