Listen for “Demon Wind” and “Doppelgänger,” another standout track, in Poison Ruïn’s set. Kennedy wrote the track in an attempt to use the trappings of cosmic horror to evoke the terror of a manmade ecological disaster. This was the case with “Demon Wind,” a Poison Ruïn song recently featured on the Metal Massacre 15 compilation. Kennedy often starts his compositions as somber keyboard pieces before translating them to guitar. The result is like taking a morning star to the face in the middle of a mosh pit. (You can hear everything from Black Sabbath to Fugazi in their sound.) Mac Kennedy, the band’s mastermind, originally aspired to map aspects of the medieval dungeon crawler aesthetic commonly associated with heavy metal over a more nimble, anarcho-punk sound. Poison Ruïn is a messy but unique genre-mash that sounds like doom metal one second and superfast hardcore the next. Then you’ve got Poison Ruïn, a band from Philadelphia’s vibrant DIY scene. The Portland-based band has been a mainstay on the punk scene for over 20 years, and their lineup has ex-members of Remains of the Day and Detestation. That said, they’re as heavy as the heaviest of heavy metal.

First, you’ve got Hellshock, a band usually classified as crust punk, aka “stenchcore,” which is what happens when you plunge the jagged edges of punk into the inky abyss of deathcore. The theme of this absolutely facemelting evening at the Runaway is hardcore punk meets metal. Thursday: Hellshock and Poison Ruïn at the Runaway is exploding with so much music it was impossible to overlook, what with local rapper Logic returning to the region, Portland crust punks headlining the Runaway, Sleigh Bells at 9:30 Club, a jam packed day of reggae, and more.
