Featured Tune: "Point Of View" from Empires To Ruins

Rage, Reflection, and Ruins: Empires To Ruins Ignite with ‘Point Of View’

Empires To Ruins have returned with a vengeance on Point Of View, and it hits like a fist through fog—clearing the air with every bruising riff and snarled lyric. From the first strike of Kyle’s drums to Glenn’s cutting guitar and vocals, this track is a snarling time capsule of lockdown-era disillusionment, bottled fury, and resistance. The North Coast trio aren’t just making noise—they’re making a statement.

Rooted in early 2000s alt-rock and post-hardcore, Point Of View draws blood from the same vein as Biffy Clyro, Fightstar, and Rise Against, but it doesn't feel like mimicry—it’s more like a modern reawakening. Stewarty’s bass snarls beneath the surface, grounding the chaos with purpose, while the band's signature gang vocals add a primal, almost ritualistic energy to the breakdown.

The track doesn’t just simmer with distrust—it erupts. Lyrically sharp and politically charged, it swings from personal fear to social fury, threading in dystopian echoes from Orwell and They Live. It’s clever, cathartic, and unafraid to punch upwards. And just when you think it’s following the alt-rock script, they yell “Stop”—and everything does. Briefly. It's that kind of bold, weird creativity that makes Point Of View stand out.

This isn’t just the end of a chapter for Empires To Ruins. It’s the opening of a new, louder one. Listen once and you’ll feel the heat. Listen again, and you’ll find the fire behind it.
