POISON THE WELL are thrilled to release PEACE IN PLACE, their first album in 16 years, today, March 20 via SharpTone Records. Listen and get it here.
Today, they share the video for “Weeping Tones.” Watch it here.
“There’s a quiet loss of control that comes from feeling like you can’t fully be yourself anymore,” offers singer Jeffrey Moreira. “When you have to shrink who you are just to avoid judgment or conflict, it starts to feel like something is being taken from you. That’s what ‘Weeping Tones’ is about.”
He continues, “This video reflects that struggle, but it also holds onto something stronger — the one thing no one can take from you: Your ability to give your love and energy to the people who matter most. No matter how heavy the world gets, no matter how much it tries to pull you apart, you can always choose to keep walking until you reach what matters most — hold it close, and never let go.”

In the space of barely a breath, Poison The Well pacify fits of jarring brutality with moments of fragile beauty. Their unmistakable melodic hardcore gently dilutes the effects of trauma, betrayal, depression, and loss with hard-won wisdom and diligently earned self-acceptance. For as much force as they commit to the riffs and the breakdowns, there’s an equal amount of naked emotion encoded in their relatable hooks.
At this point, they are unassumingly, yet undeniably embedded in the DNA of modern metal and hardcore. Poison The Well’s 1999 debut, The Opposite of December… A Season of Separation has claimed spots on BrooklynVegan’s 15 ’90s Metalcore Albums That Still Resonate Today; KERRANG!’s 21 Best U.S. Metalcore Albums of All Time; Loudwire’s 25 Best Metalcore Albums of All Time; and Revolver’s 10 Most Influential Metalcore Albums of All Time. Stereogumput it best, “The Opposite of December… A Season of Separation influenced a whole generation of metalcore bands.” Meanwhile, 2003’s You Come Before You remains regarded among Metal Hammer‘s 100 Greatest Metal Albums of the 21st Century and Rock Sound’s 250 Greatest Albums of Our Lifetime. Despite going on hiatus following 2009’s The Tropic Rot, the group’s influence has only expanded over the years (as evidenced by over 100 million streams across their catalog). After touring in 2015 and 2021, they’ve commemorated milestone birthdays of both You Come Before You and The Opposite of December… with in-demand headline jaunts. Once again, the members felt an intense need to create as a unit. Rallying together, the guys channeled the spirit of their most celebrated material through a prism of new experience on their sixth full-length offering, Peace In Place.
