The Ruins Unleash 'That Dog'—A Dark, Haunting Journey Into the Mind’s Final Descent

The Ruins Unleash 'That Dog'—A Dark, Haunting Journey Into the Mind’s Final Descent

What started as a humorous anecdote about a relative struggling with old age and dementia took a darker turn, evolving into a chilling exploration of a fractured mind. That Dog, the latest release from The Ruins, sees Bart Robley’s poignant lyrics immersing listeners in the sights, sounds, and confusion of a deeply altered mental state.
Musically, the song’s augmented chords and time shifts create an unsettling atmosphere while driving forward with a relentless, galloping rhythm—echoing the unstoppable march toward life’s inevitable conclusion.

The Ruins is a hard rock project from California, featuring Bart Robley on drums and percussion, Todd McTavish on vocals, Greg Kasparian on bass, and Blackthorne on guitars. That Dog is produced by Bart Robley and The Ruins and distributed by SODEH Records and Metal Incorporated.
