"Poison The Well have shared the second taste of their first album in 17 years, Peace In Place, and new single "Everything Hurts" shows off a few different sides of the band that we didn't hear on the excellent lead single "Thoroughbreds." We get some tension-building speak-singing that almost sounds more like classic mewithoutYou than classic Poison The Well, and that builds to a soaring clean-sung hook before erupting into some breakdown-friendly metalcore."
"It's a lot at once, and it finds the band sounding just as adventurous as they did in the experimental latter years of their initial run. Listen and watch the Chris Candy-directed video below. PTW also have a lot of upcoming tour dates, including their tour with fellow metalcore lifers Converge (who released their own excellent new album, Love Is Not Enough, last week). The Converge tour hits Queens' Knockdown Center on April 10 as part of a leg with newer bands Balmora and Spy."
Poison The Well released "Everything Hurts," the second single from Peace In Place, their first album in 17 years. The track opens with tension-building speak-singing that evokes classic mewithoutYou before building into a soaring clean-sung hook and then erupting into breakdown-friendly metalcore. The combination of varied vocal approaches and heavy breakdowns positions the band as similarly adventurous to their experimental latter years. A Chris Candy-directed video accompanies the single. Poison The Well announced extensive 2026 tour dates, including a run with Converge that stops at Queens' Knockdown Center on April 10, and an exclusive "solid gold" vinyl variant is available for pre-order.
