Poison Ruïn announce new album, release new single 'Eidolon'

Nic Huber

Philadelphia punks Poison Ruïn have announced their upcoming new album Hymns from the Hills, due out April 3 via Relapse Records.

In tandem with the album announcement, the band released the album's phantasmal lead single "Eidolon", a raw, aggressive d-beat ripper with nefarious Luciferian undertones.

Watch the band's official music video for the track below:

Frontman, lyricist and guitarist Mac Kennedy states:

"‘Eidolon’ is about being stuck in a broken reality, a cog in a fate-machine doomed to play out the same cursed loop until it fully breaks down. The ones who had the power to affect change have abandoned the scene. Their phantoms loom down in quiet disapproval of the disaster that slowly plays out beneath– Grim reminders of what could have, but will not be."

Like their previous material, Hymns from the Hills was self-recorded without the use of professional studio equipment. Mixed by Jonah Falco (Fucked Up, Career Suicide) and mastered by Arthur Rizk (Power Trip, Cavalera, Integrity), Kennedy also lent a hand to the mixing process, splicing in grittier tape-recorded segments to maintain tonal continuity.
