Poison Ruin (or Poison Ruïn, if you know how to type an i with umlauts) is going on tour in support of their upcoming album, Hymns from the Hills.
Often described as "medieval," "dark ages," and "badass," the Philly group blends elements of anarchistic post-punk, black metal, and classic Motorhead headbanging into blasts of rock fury. A week after the band releases their third album—out Apr 03, via Relapse Records–they'll wreak havoc throughout North America.
Billed as a North-East American Tour, Poison Ruin's campaign begins with a show at New York City's Bowery Ballroom on Apr 11, before carving a path through Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont. After stops in Montreal and Toronto, the band returns to the U.S., visiting cities like Detroit, Cincinnati, Chicago, Indianapolis, and Richmond before returning to their home of Philadelphia on May 02.
Opening bands on the road include The Serfs, Peace Talks, Cruelster, and Marked Men (Philly only). The tour's kickoff show will feature performances by Prision Postumo, Dollhouse, and Savage Pleasure.
Poison Ruin began in the mind of frontman Mac Kennedy, who saw it as a personal project before expanding it into a full band with drummer Allen Chapman, guitarist Nao Demand, and bassist Will McAndrew.
"The idea was that I wanted to have a project that had a wide range of sound, but therefore needed something to unify it," Kennedy told Stereogumin 2023. "I was trying to figure out some kind of symbolism or overarching idea that could tie everything together — musically, lyrically, and with the [visual] art."
"We look at [medieval] times as symbols of brutality and toiling and daily struggle; people turning to religion or intangible things as a way to cope or carry through," he added. "And all of those things are as present and constant in everyone I know's daily lives as whatever peasant with a hood on is being imagined."
Tickets for the tour go on sale on Friday, Feb. 13, at 10 AM local time.
