En Ruinas is the fourth full-length album by Peruvian heavy music band Ancestro. Written and produced by Diego Cartulin between late 2024 and early 2025, the album blends stoner doom, post-metal and atmospheric sludge into a work inspired by the historical and cultural memory of Trujillo, Peru.
Across eight tracks, En Ruinas explores themes of identity, urban transformation, the passage of time and collective memory, drawing from the city’s history while offering a broader reflection on belonging and cultural change.
The album artwork, created by Boris Baltodano, reinterprets the faces of Trujillo’s Monument to Liberty through a collage-based composition marked by erosion, fragmentation and decay. The typography takes inspiration from historical documents related to the city’s Spanish foundation in 1535, reinforcing the album’s connection to place and memory.
