Founder member John Murphy re-ignited the band's spark over the past 2-3 years, writing a wide range of new material. On completion of a home studio rennovation, he began to refine and record songs intended for FOR RUIN as well the doom metal band he is active in, THE GRIEF (who's debut EP's & full length were both released in 2020).

8 For Ruin songs were recorded and performed by Murphy at The Barn and the first of which was the 4 track ELAPSE EP (2020) - this second companion EP Relapse completes the release of the 8 songs marking the return of the band to creativity.

Relapse EP Track List:
1. Devout
2. Only The Dead
3. In Vain
4. Bastion

The 8 songs have been mastered by Marko Tervonen (The Crown) during August 2020 at Studio-MT, in Sweden. Artwork for both EP's comes from Ken Coleman (Morbid Angel, The Cranberries etc).
