Poison Ruïn release new single “Guts (Lay Your Self Aside)” from upcoming album

Philadelphia metallic punk band Poison Ruïn have released “Guts (Lay Your Self Aside)” as the latest single from their upcoming album “Hymns From The Hills.” The record arrives on April 3, 2026 via Relapse Records.

“Hymns From The Hills” marks the band’s sophomore full-length. It follows their earlier work and expands their medieval-inflected lyrical world. Where previous releases built on tales of peasants and serfs as allegories for present-day alienation, the new album widens that scope. The stories now move across a darker landscape populated by spirits and symbolic figures. Songwriter and guitarist Mac Kennedy clarifies that the imagery carries no intent of historical accuracy. Instead, he uses mythic language as a lens on the present.

As with their past releases Poison Ruïn self-recorded the album. This time, however, Kennedy relocated to a private practice space for more time and control. Mixing went to Jonah Falco, while Arthur Rizk handled mastering. Kennedy also contributed to the mix, adding tape-recorded segments to maintain tonal continuity with the band’s earlier recordings.

“Hymns From The Hills” arrives April 3, 2026 on Relapse Records.
