Menace Ruine is a duo from Montréal, Québec, Canada, consisting of Geneviève Beaulieu (vocals, instruments) and S. De La Moth (vocals, instruments). Formed in 2007, they create a powerful hybrid of avant-garde black metal, dark ambient, drone, and martial neo-folk. Their distinctive sound is characterized by heavily manipulated and distorted effects and feedback, alongside Geneviève's sonorous vocals, which evoke a more melodious and doomy version of Nico. The band's lyrics often explore themes of occultism and the workings of fate. Their debut album, 'Cult of Ruins', delivered a fierce black metal experience, followed by 'The Die is Cast', which incorporated more mellow elements of elegiac neo-folk. This balance has been maintained and expanded in their subsequent recordings.
