ANNOUNCE NEW ALBUM ‘PEACE IN PLACE’, FIRST NEW ALBUM IN OVER 16 YEARS ARRIVES ON MARCH 20 VIA SHARPTONE.

They released the definitive album ‘The Opposite of December… A Season Of Separation’ in December 1999 and it went on to become a benchmark of the genre that has inspired a generation of bands. Its influence is indisputable. But the band is not content to rest on the laurels of its past achievements, as mighty as those achievements are. The song boasts all the hallmarks fans have come to know, love, and expect from band — introspective lyrics, urgent riffing, massive breakdowns that cause tectonic plates to shift, and soaring melodies. PTW also collaborate with Frank Maddocks (Linking Park, Deftones) on the LP cover art. Regarding the new song singer says: “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.”

As for the album as a complete body of work: “it is probably the most pissed record we’ve ever made. After stepping away from group, 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.”

“Joining Poison The Well at 18 and chasing music shaped how I approach life” says singer Jeffrey Moreira. “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.”
