" This 22 minute cd-r is the first release for Aerial Ruin, the solo project of Erik Moggridge(guitarist for SF's bearded metal stalwarts Old Grandad). He was assisted in this dark endeavor by Eric Peterson of fellow bay area rock vets Lost Goat. Don't be expecting a rush of thunderous volume, guitar solos and downtuned heaviness though! Taking a considerably different path Moggridge has crafted half a dozen songs of somber acoustic folk. Very hushed and slow creeping. The man himself likened it to slowcore leaders Low but we here more shades of Mark Lanegan or the solo efforts of Neurosis' Steve Von Till and Skott Kelly."
-AQUARIUS RECORDS
"San Franciscan Erik Moggridge's history involves a lot of metal bands, and while he's apparently kept his drooping beard, his Aerial Ruin project sticks to sparse, mostly acoustic songs. While Aerial Ruin's rustically picked arpeggios and chords are patterned on folk traditions, traces of metal can still be heard in these hushed tunes sense of mystery and foreboding. Moggridge's vocals hit the right balance, a little eerie but mostly just focusing on somber melodies on a recent demo cd, oddly titled 133 306 668"

”One mean Hell Unit!” - “A southern bulldozer, oozing with a 70’s stoner haze“ - “Sounds like a raging war between Crowbar, The Melvins and Earthride!”
I saw you guys a month or so ago up in Eugene. Your guys' set was awesome. It sounded like they were mostly new songs though. When will you guys record the newer stuff?
I noticed you guys are playing at Hemlock this Friday 8/7. I'm super bummed I can't make it - a friend of mine is playing the same night at El Rio. well, I'll be keeping an eye out for you guys. -Jodi
