Poison The Well have revealed the details of a new full-length album, their first release since 2009’s ‘The Tropic Rot’.

Titled ‘Peace In Place’, it will be unleashed on March 20 via Sharptone Records. Vocalist Jeffrey Moreira had this to say about stepping back up to the plate, stating, “Joining Poison the Well at 18 and chasing music shaped how I approach life. Coming back 16 years later — unsure if I could still do what I once left behind — only reinforced how strong our bond is and how much this band has given me. I’m grateful to do this again with my friends, and to share a record made with honesty, intention, and connection at its core.”
The record’s artwork looks like this:

And the full tracklist like this:
1) Wax Mask
2) Primal Bloom
3) Thoroughbreds
4) Everything Hurts
5) Weeping Tones
6) A Wake Of Vultures
7) Bad Bodies
8) Drifting Without End
9) Melted
10) Plague Them The Most
Jeffrey had this to add about what the record as a whole entity means to him:
Peace In Place is probably the most pissed record we’ve ever made. After stepping away from Poison the Well, it felt like all the emotion from that time — frustration, heartache, disappointment — compressed into something heavy and unavoidable. But anger isn’t what drives us. Connection is. Sometimes that connection starts in darker places, and having an outlet for those emotions is how we find our way forward. This record lives across that entire spectrum. It’s about turning something negative into something honest, putting it into the world, and realizing that even in anger, we’re still capable of moving forward, relating to each other, and finding some form of peace—if not happiness, then at least a place to stand.”
The first taste of it is also out in the world, in the form of ‘Thoroughbreds’. A discomforting, discordant and devastating piece of head-spinning heaviness, it picks up exactly where they left off nearly two decades ago. Painstakingly fresh and angularly brutal, it is a warts-and-all statement of intent.
Jeffrey’s last comment is on the sentiment of the single, explaining, “Beasts of burden are hard to break—not because they’re strong, but because they’re stubborn. ‘Thoroughbreds’ is about realizing that some lifelong bonds don’t fail early; they fail after you believed they were there to stay.”
