After sixteen years of relative silence, Poison The Well are back. The Florida metalcore architects will release Peace In Place on March 20 via SharpTone Records, marking their first full-length album in over a decade and a half.
The comeback is led by ‘Everything Hurts’, a track that reasserts the band’s trademark quiet/loud dynamics with surgical precision. It opens in a moody register before snapping into metallic force, tension accumulating rather than exploding outright. The accompanying video follows vocalist Jeffrey Moreira in an almost voyeuristic frame, the camera lingering as the atmosphere thickens. The build is deliberate, and the details reward repeat viewing.
Lyrically, ‘Everything Hurts’ turns inward. “Everything Hurts is about the patience and effort it takes to keep relationships alive,” Moreira explains. The song acknowledges frustration without romanticising it — the push and pull of closeness, the understanding that love doesn’t erase irritation. “You can’t put up with everyone’s shit,” he notes bluntly. “So the people you keep close are the ones whose shit you actually want to deal with.”
That tension — between abrasion and intimacy — has long defined Poison The Well’s sound. Now comprising Moreira, guitarists Ryan Primack and Vadim Taver, drummer Christopher Hornbrook and bassist Noah Harmon, the band appear intent not on nostalgia but on continuation.
Poison the Well will be touring Australia later this year.
