Ruins founder and permanent member, the legendary drummer and vocalist Yoshida Tatsuya, and both Zu founders and permanent members Luca T Mai and Massimo Pupillo decided to join forces in a new formation RuinsZU after knowing each other for many years. Since the end of April, they started touring Europe for the first time, with Italy as starting point, performing both Ruins and Zu material and new music.

Both Ruins and ZU push the boundaries of music, breaking all genre and style boundaries. What to expect from this new formation? Japanese percussion and Italian bass guitar and saxophone violence in full blast in the music regions of noise, free jazz, metal and other kinds of chaos.
