Philadelphia's Poison Ruin combine classic anarcho-punk with dungeon synth, post punk and NWOBHM influences and uses dark medieval images, lyrical themes and symbolism fused with anarcho-punk iconography, which resulted in a specific grim sound, filled with pessimistic melodies and hard hitting hardcore energy with some serious singalong tendency. Imagine something in the vein of punk lo-fi anxiety built by Wipers or cave-dweling post-punk gloom of early The Mob combined with the Crass Records sound, while everything is occasionally intertwined with energetic guitars evoking the new wave of British heavy metal and, at the same time, call for fists in the air while pogoing in the middle of a sweaty crowd. You can call Poison Ruïn's huge sound anarcho-punk goth stomp or peace punk in chainmail and both would work in favor of their ambitious, booming and exciting sound, riddled with catchy hooks and creative writing process.
