Man's Ruin Records was an
independent record label, owned and founded by
Bay Area artist
Frank Kozik. After the
1994 release of Man's Ruin's first record, entitled

Kozik worked with artists who he wanted to release; he also designed all of the sleeve art for the releases. The catalog of Man's Ruin is vast, including relatively famous bands such as
The Hellacopters,
Nebula,
Kyuss,
High on Fire,
Entombed,
Turbonegro,
Queens of the Stone Age and
The Sex Pistols, to less known bands such as FuckEmos, Soulpreacher, Angelrot, and Los Cowslingers. The last record released was by Begotten, and the label was officially gone by
2002.
