The Horror of Beauty is a full-length album by the metal band My Ruin. [5] [6] It was released in 2003. [7]
Chronicles of Chaos wrote that "no amount of musical invention would be able to drown out [Tairrie] B's relentlessly self-obsessed and tiresome whining." [4] CMJ New Music Report called the album "the most dirt-encrusted rock Miss B has ever attempted," writing that My Ruin "walks the razor's edge between subversive femininity and pro-womanhood." [2]
Also included on the CD are two videos that can be viewed by playing the disc through a computer: the promotional video for "Made To Measure" and a behind-the-scenes film of the making of the video.
