Brief Introduction Poison Ruïn In partnership with Mondo Negro, and ahead of the arrival of Powerplant, ZDB treads paths adjacent to metal/punk with the timely appearance of Poison Ruïn. Without any audible vokills or tremolo picking, a black metal aura hovers over the music of the quartet from Pennsylvania — one that lets itself be haunted by the spectre of Venom while recognising the D-beat sway that Darkthrone embraced from The Cult Is Alive onwards. Tangentially, there is also a lyrical obsession with medieval times, an original foray into fanciful social critique that juxtaposes the feudalism of the Dark Ages with today's labour hardships; but for its capacity to bring audiences together, one can call it, with all that this implies, a Punk band. Direct, memorable yet carrying a whole wealth of ideas that bring them close to Deathrock, while embracing atmospheres transplanted from Dungeon Synth, thoroughly rocky riffing, atmospheric pieces for soaring guitars and distant voice, post-punk swerves and a voice claiming the full-lunged choruses of Oi! and the hummable disgust of '77 punk. All in remarkable balance, the dirt of the guitars at the exact point of fusion with the clarity of the songs, making the most of the impetus of a label as imposing as Relapse to maximise the nerve, hypnosis and sharpness of their sound. BS ~ Bated Breath A punk band with songs composed and recorded by one person, and played live by five, Bated Breath is the result of the desire to make something happen in the middle of adult life.
