Track By Tracks: Days Of Ruin - Age Of Ignorance (2026)
1. Another Day in Hell:
Another Day in Hell is as direct as it gets: a world stuck in repetition, frustration, and self- inflicted damage. The lyrics point to disillusionment with the systems and choices that keep dragging everything back into the same cycle. It is clear that we are not happy with the way the world is shaping up.
Musically, this is one of our favorite tracks. It blends melodic parts with powerful grooves and breakdowns. It also throws in a bit of Kataklysm to make it stand out from our more Hardcore-oriented early days. Another Day in Hell was introduced in 2025 and has never been absent from our setlist since. Because it usually gets such a good reaction, it felt like the right choice for the opening track of the EP and the first single.
2. Goodbye Forever:
This song feels like a farewell wrapped in grief and finality. Its imagery focuses on leaving melancholy behind and accepting that something has come to an end - something that is not always easy, or even desirable, to accept.
Goodbye Forever is a song that did not make it onto our first album, Extinction, in 2020. After revisiting it for some concerts in 2025, we felt convinced that it still contained everything that makes Days of Ruin the band it is today.
3. Beneath the Waves:
As an instrumental, this track acts as a short respite between the heavier emotional chapters, giving the listener a moment to sink deeper before the next wave of intensity arrives. It is based on a melody featured in the next track, Fear of Death, and was recorded spontaneously during our studio session.
4. Fear of Death:
This track is driven by panic, danger, and the physical immediacy of collapse. The lyrics create a vivid sense of being trapped in a catastrophic moment, but they also carry a darker pull toward surrender, as if fear and release are happening at the same time. We have probably all reached a point where letting go feels like the only way forward. Fear of Death is one of our faster songs and an invitation for circle pits. Heavy breakdowns ensure that it never gets stale, while the melodic bridge gives some room to breathe before the final push.
5. Your Own Misery:
This song is direct and personal. It is a confrontation with a clear target in the person who keeps spreading negativity and causing damage. You all know the type of guy or girl. The lyrics represent a breaking point: exhaustion with lies, frustration with manipulation, and the moment when patience finally turns into rejection. That also makes it a turning point in the EP, away from passive suffering and toward a more confrontational mindset, a way forward, a will to fight.
It is the newest song on the EP and has only been played live on a couple of occasions. It is also one of the few songs that starts right out of the gate. Its hardcore energy reinforces the message. We specifically wanted a catchy chorus supported by a strong guitar melody. As a concise, around-three-minute track, Your Own Misery is a strong contender for future concerts.
6. Poison:
Poison opens up into a broader, more social kind of anger, where corruption and destruction feel everywhere at once. “Your Poison Kills the World” is a clear message to anyone who chooses to use their energy not to make the world a better place, but to make it worse. Contrary to this, the song is carried by a clear call to fight against these negative forces. Poison was formerly known under a different name. It has been part of our live set for many years now. The groovy main riff is complemented by an epic chorus that invites people to scream along with our singer. It concludes with a powerful ending that sets the stage for one last push.
