“Larissa Dawn, who has a fine set of lungs within her.... In-fact the word "awesome" could be used several times here as there are some humdinger tracks like the rocking 'Apocalypse', the superb 'Goddess', the rather nice keyboard orientated 'The Hunted' and the atmospheric piano and string led ballad 'Underground', that closes the album rather nicely CD RATING 8.5/10”

— Dave "Ravenheart" Smith, Ravenheart music

“The event of the night was Celestial Ruin..it was great I cant wait for the next one!”

— Paul Fitzgerald, See it Live Canada

“the vibrancy of Celestial Ruin’s music comes alive through the charisma and individual personalities of each musician in the band...the dynamism created was very infectious... one of the highlights of the night for me”

— Allyson Kenninig, Sonic Cathedral

“** WINNER APRIL 2013 BAND OF THE MONTH **”

— UNLEASH THE FURIES

“Celestial Ruin appears to be in a subgenre scene of one...their differences are working to their advantage.”

— Brandon McNeil, Beat Route Magazine

“A new unit on the Vancouver hard rock scene, this group played an impressive set at the recent Nerdfest at the Rickshaw theatre. With a sound most closely compared to female-fronted Northern European symphonic metal acts, the group is comprised of some quality players such as drummer Adam Todd and in lead singer Larissa Dawn. Rumoured to have been discovered singing in a karaoke bar, she has a impressive instrument indeed. From Evanescence-esque soaring pop stylings to more gospel-tinged lower range bluesiness. the band is well on its way with this well-produced four song EP which is getting attention on local and Canada-wide hard rock/metal websites.”

— Stewart Derdeyn, The Province Newspaper

“Celestial Ruin got the night started with their very Kamelot meets Nightwish with hints of Evanescence sound. The female fronted band definitely had a lot of confidence in what they do, and it showed in their music”

— James Weekes, Hammer Records

“Hard rock with beautiful vocals and melodies, yet with a heavier, darker edge." There is a lot of rock music in the Vancouver indie scene, but nothing like Celestial Ruin.”

— Uncharted Music News

“CELESTIAL RUIN. This group is an newer Vancouver ʻIndies” band I thought were exciting, powerful, sweet yet dangerous. Symphonic is its one description. Their music appealed to everyone. Larissa Dawn, the lead vocalist, has at times an Angelic voice but can masterfully bring a powerful sound to ʻKick your ass” That with the Thunderous- Adam ( Thunder) Todd on drums , Mike (DIKK) Dagenais on Bass, Yakir Biton on Guitar and Nathan Loflin on Keyboards, Celestial Ruin is a band which will command the attention of a lot of fans. They literally blew me away. Their original material and the cover they did of The Final Countdown by Europe was fantastic, powerful and the band just controlled the audience.”

— Paul Fitzgerald, RockStar Weekly

“The band has not been together for a long amount of time, yet their debut EP; "The Awakening" boasts professionalism in both the musicianship and songwriting. The opening track "From Beneath You" begins with a thumping bass to open the song as the track quickly morphs into a catchy, straight-forward metal track. "Goddess" is next and begins with a slower tempo as the truly beautiful vocals of Larissa Dawn joins in. As the song progresses the tempo speeds up and gets heavier. This song quickly became my favorite of the four songs featured here. "Behind These Doors" is next and begins with a nice piano intro, before developing into a nice, melodic mid- tempo number. Vocalist Larissa Dawn shows off her diversity on this one. "The Hunted" neatly wraps things up, after about 18-minutes. Celestial Ruin is currently looking for a label and if they continue to progress, based on what is presented on "The Awakening", they should find a home in no time. This band has tons of potential.”

— Tony Cannella, Femme Metal Magazine

Killer tune with "dragon" guys..just blown away by the deep, smoky vocals and love the trick of using the guys to do the backing vox on the hook..like a demonic chorus!! Fant...
