Miami metalcore pioneers POISON THE WELL have announced their sixth studio album Peace in Place, due March 20 via SHARPTONE Records — their first full-length since The Tropic Rot in 2009, a gap of seventeen years. The album was previewed by lead single "Thoroughbreds" and its accompanying video, released in January.
Singer JEFFREY MOREIRA described the record with unusual directness: "It's probably the most pissed record we've ever made." Despite that anger, MOREIRA frames the album as ultimately being about connection — "taking something negative and turning it into something honest," he said. "We'd been carrying all of this for a long time. This record is us setting it down."
Ten tracks: "Wax Mask," "Primal Bloom," "Thoroughbreds," "Everything Hurts," "Weeping Tones," "A Wake of Vultures," "Bad Bodies," "Drifting Without End," "Melted," "Plague Them the Most." Notably, the 2025 standalone single "Trembling Level" is not included.
POISON THE WELL formed in 1996 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and released five albums through 2009 that helped define a generation of metalcore alongside peers like UNDEROATH, NORMA JEAN, and CONVERGE. After disbanding, they reunited for sporadic appearances from 2015 onward, building momentum through 2024–2025 touring before committing to this new record. Peace in Place is available for pre-order now across all standard and limited physical formats.
