The Horror of Beauty

The Horror of Beauty is a full-length album by the metal band My Ruin. It was released in 2003.

Critical reception
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." 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."
