Very obscure US metal single that is reminiscent of early Jag Panzer and musically stands next to the great singles of Ablaze, Far East or Sabre. ''Return to nothing'' is a very good fast tempo metal song which prepares the listener for what comes next! ''Commando'' is probably the reason why this single is considered a crown jewel in collectors circles. It is a speed power metal hymn with pounding drums, stunning solos and epic vocals and the only thing that could be better is the production. I am not aware of any other material of Red Ruin so if anybody could share any info that would be much appreciated.
