(Music written and recorded by Agrippa, Williams, A. Richard, Fern, and W. Richard)
Among the Ruins was released on February 22, 2010 and is the 2nd song written and recorded with the present Agrippa93 line up. The song began its development in the summer of 2009 and completed all of its final recording sessions just days before its release.
Lyrics: Among the Ruins explores Norse mythology and Norse astrology. A Viking warrior returns to the ancient ruins of a sacred temple to be among the familiar images of his deities and ancestors.
Lyrics written by Agrippa in 2009-10.
In Studio: Among the Ruin was produced by Agrippa and Williams and engineered by Agrippa. The song began with lyrics and then vocal melodies and developed on from there.
Scott Williams – Lead and rhythm guitars.
Will Richard – Lead and rhythm guitars.
Alex Richard – Drums
Rich Fern – Bass
“It seemed like at every rehearsal we had a new version of this song, but we finally settled on this arrangement. A song is never truly finished and evolves the more you play it, but there’s a point where you have to narrow it down and commit to a recording in order to get it out there for the listeners.” – Agrippa
“This song could, in truth, be considered the 1st Transmutation since it started as an existing A93 project. We kept the lyrics and the basic idea of one of the guitar parts.” – Scott Williams
Live Performance: Among the Ruins was written specifically to be played live and will be added to any future set lists.
