Hail, you frostbitten outcasts of the Black Metal Archives—Sean here, still reeling from the savage jolt of Ruby Rockatansky’s Our Vengeance Come. Spun this single today, and it’s like Illinois’ industrial decay birthed a war cry that smashed through my ribs. Snagged this lone wolf’s howl off Bandcamp, released March 31, 2025, and its seven-minute rampage is a brutal gem—let’s tear it open and feast!
Ruby Rockatansky’s a one-person wrecking crew, wielding vocals, guitars, bass, and drum programming with a cold, unyielding edge. Hailing from Illinois—not the sunburnt Aussie wastes the name might trick you into picturing—they’ve kicked off their reign with this self-released banger, a middle finger raised from the Midwest’s rusted heart.
The track slams in with a riff that grinds like a steel mill chewing through scrap—guitars snarl with a gritty, lo-fi bite, and Ruby’s vocals rip out, a snarling bellow soaked in wrath and ruin. The drum programming pounds like a hammer on cold iron, relentless and driving—I’m hooked, fists pumping as the Midwest gloom takes hold. Halfway through, it twists—riffs coil into a menacing spiral, their voice shredding into a wail that could wake the dead from Chicago’s sprawl. It builds to a chaotic climax, guitars and bass crashing like a derailed freight train, capped by a blistering solo that tears through the end like a chainsaw through sheet metal, Ruby’s howls summoning a reckoning that leaves me winded.
Ruby Rockatansky’s sound is a blackened Midwest beast—think Darkthrone’s icy rawness crossed with Eyehategod’s swampy snarl, but forged in a DIY furnace that’s all their own. It’s rough, unpolished, and dripping with spite—feels like they tracked this in a derelict warehouse with nothing but rage and a battered rig. Our Vengeance Come is a lone avenger’s roar—blast it loud, let it gut you, and join me in this frigid fury.

Stay vengeful, you Midwest wraiths, and keep the storm alive!
