Ruiner is an American hardcore punk band from Baltimore, Maryland, United States.
Lyrically, Ruiner touched on personal sentiments such as disillusion with the world, desolation, lost love, self-loathing and disappointment.
In 2009, Ruiner took a break from touring and returned to Baltimore to work on writing their new album.
The band headed to the studio in July with producer J. Robbins, and recorded the tracks for what would become Hell Is Empty.
On October 9, 2010, Ruiner played their final show and announced their break up.
