Poison the Well Return with Their First New Song in 15 Years

Poison The Well have returned with their first new song in 15 years.

“Trembling Level” finds Poison the Well in top form. Harmonics pierce the armor of a thick riff, and a guttural groove tosses and turns beneath Jeff Moreira‘s hard-hitting screams. The barrage subsides on an arresting bridge anchored by a dramatic drumroll. A final melodic warning, “Don’t you let the silhouettes lead you to the ocean floor,” gives way to one last pit-splitting breakdown.

“For me, I was trying to figure how to effectively incorporate elements from our whole discography into one song,” guitarist Ryan Primack reveals. “We ended up with this, and it has a little bit of everything we’ve done throughout the course of our existence.”

“Lyrically, it’s about tackling a fear,” says Moreira. “I tend to write based on personal experience. You’re approaching something you’re scared to do, going through it, and realizing the hardest parts are actually the ones you should be looking towards because those will lead you to success.”

In other Poison the Well News, the band has signed with SharpTone Records. More new music is expected, so stay tuned. The band also fortifies its ranks by officially welcoming bassist Noah Harmon and guitarist Vadim Taver into the fold. Both musicians have played with the group for years. Now, they round out the lineup.
