Brisbane blackened thrash/death metal act Idle Ruin have dropped a brand new single titled “Delta Hexatoxin” which premiered on Metal.de & Heavy Blog Is Heavy. The track comes off an upcoming full-length album which the band have been busy working on through out 2022 with Brendan “Pip” Auld at Black Blood Audio who also recorded their first EP and the split release “Malefactors” with Germany’s Boundless Chaos.

On the concept of the song, the band states: “The song’s about the bad apple spoiling the bunch, how one individual’s actions can potentially ruin a larger group from the inside out. “Delta Hexatoxin” is the compound within the venom of funnel-web spiders, which can impair one’s nervous system once infused.”

2022 has been a busy year for Idle Ruin. The Brisbane heavy hitters released a split EP with Germany’s Boundless Chaos titled “Malefactors” and performed at Adelaide’s New Dead Festival alongside Psycroptic, Lo!, In Malice’s Wake and more.

“Now with gigs returning full-time we’ve been spending October doing a tour of Brisbane, Melbourne, Sydney, and a return to Adelaide” comments the band. “It’s been great finally getting to play to these crowds who’ve been calling for us to come and play since we started the band. As soon as the tour is done, our main priority will be getting the album out.”
