Beginning in 2005, recording of "Built from Ruin" was marred with setbacks. From different members of the [lareg]drum addikts falling victim to different addictions, failed negotiations and broken promises to most importantly, the self doubt and perfectionism of Fatz Belvedere, saw the concept album shelved. Now, five yeas later, after numerous legal, health and addiction issues, Fatz Belvedere and his Drum Addikt Family have emerged healthier and more focused to finally complete what some critics said were the "beginnings of a revolution and a vivid look into tormented souls complete with a sonically surreal musical and lyrical soundscape"
The roster of Drum Addikts are all here from Fatz Belvedere, Byata, Phenomenon and Dj Head Honcho to new comers James Dean and Nikki Valentine.
Fatz stated "Musically, its a culmination of like, all the frustration and sadness that i been carrying with me the last two years in isolation. Lyrically, its a trip through the struggles. Love, Loss, Hopelesness and despair but the hope and ambition to overcome all of it is the main message. Thats why I kept the name 'Built from Ruin' because my whole crew just waited for me to get better after i destroyed everything.."
Fatz retreated to sheer isolation two years ago when a major label deal for the lead artist, Byata, went completely sour leading to a major depression as well as a dependency on prescription drugs. Following his downfall, which included a small stint in prison, Fatz pulled himself together and along with his drum addikt family supporting him, he pulled himself together and returned to the industry more mature and focused.
The culmination of chaos... The pinnacle of despair... The passion and drive... "Built from Ruin" will serve as the textbook for victory... The guideline of innovation........
