RUE "Lengthy Delusion"



Easily identifiable? Clearly defined? Not on your life. Not when when speaking of the means, the end, the method or the maddness of Rue. However, for thousands of years, Rue has somehow endured. Through a plethora of line - up changes, broken down vans and trailers and busted tours, all while having been met with nothing less than sheer indifference by the music industry, we slog ever onward. That is, until today. When, with weary eyes and jaded hearts, we not only indulge the urge, we obliviate. The purpose is not the mere easement of our pain, but to drown in sarrow. Then bloated and stinking, we drift away from this marked, beaten path and blindly into the wilderness. Throw away that tattered, useless map and surrender these endeavers to the random currents. And so our home is this roiling forest. A breathing sea. Darkness. From this haze, this death in life, we broadcast to you. Born upon wave after wave of self immolation, our message could not be more pure. Do not expect us to explain or to offer further insight into the language that has already been provided. And we will not repeat ourselves anymore than we are forced to do due to the inevitable redundancy inherent to this particular craft. In closing we convey to you the ideal that, by the present standard of substantial existence, we could not be less concerned than we have been, we are now or we will ever be.



Since clawing their way out of the sludge of Akron at
the onset of 2003, Northeast Ohio's Rue have been
bringing a rock demolition to the masses. Relentlessly
loud and hard hitting, Rue have hammered the U.S. touring and appearing with Weedeater, Bongzilla, Rwake, Dot[.], Graves at Sea, Zoroaster, Keelhaul, Goatwhore, Eyehategod, Mushroomhead, Yob, -16-, Alabama Thunderpussy, Meatjack, High on Fire, Unsane, and numerous others.
Rue teamed with independent stalwart Shifty Records to
release their self-titled debut CD in late 2003, and
participated in a split CD with Portaland's Aldebaran in 2004. In spring 2006 Rue recorded "Blank" for a tribute to Eyehategod entitled "For The Sick" that was released in 2007 via Emetic Records.



In winter of 2007 Rue recorded "A Heart Held by Demons" EP (A limited pressing of vinyl only) which was released in summer 2008 on Shifty Records. Rue has also writtin a full lenth CD entitled Thorns, that will be recorded in early 2010.



With influences ranging from Iron Monkey,
Buzzoven, and Celtic Frost, to the Melvins, Acid Bath,
and Black Flag, Rue like to lay it down thick and with precision.
They plan to defile the road with relentless touring, so keep an eye out for Rue to blow the windows
out of your local bar, tavern, or concert club. You'll
hear them coming.
