Poison Ruïn release new song ‘Resurrection II’

POISON RUÏN have released a brand new song!

The new song, titled Resurrection II, is taken from the Philadelphia-based post-punk/hardcore band’s upcoming new album, Härvest, which is scheduled to be released in April this year.

Watch the official lyric video for Resurrection II here: 

On the upcoming album, the band intend to align their sonic palette to their godless, medieval-inflected aesthetic symbolism. “I’ve always found fantasy tropes to be incredibly evocative,” vocalist/guitarist Mac Kennedy notes, “that said, even though they are a set of symbols that seem to speak to most people of our generation, they are often either apolitical or co-opted for incredibly backwards politics.”

With Härvest’s lyrics and imagery, Kennedy reworks fantasy imagery as a series of totems for the downtrodden, stripping it of its escapist tendencies and retooling it as a rich metaphor for the collective struggle over our shared reality. “Instead of knights in shining armor and dragons, it’s a peasant revolt,” he explains, “I’m all for protest songs, but with this band I’ve found that sometimes your message can reach a greater audience if you imbue it with a certain interactive, almost magical realist element.”

Härvest is set for release on April 14th via Relapse Records. Pre-orders are available now and can be purchased here.
