Poison The Well Return with Their First Song in 15 Years “Trembling Level”
For the first time in 15 years, Florida metalcore act Poison the Well have given their fans something new to listen to with the release of their single “Trembling Level”. Coupled with the fact that they’ve got a tour coming up later this year and they’ve apparently been working on a new album since last summer, things are looking up if you once followed the band.
With so much time between new releases, does it stand up? That’s really up to you but I personally think the track’s damn good. Speaking of the thought process behind it, guitarist Ryan Primack said it represents an attempt at reflecting on the band’s past.
“For me, I was trying to figure how to effectively incorporate elements from our whole discography into one song. We ended up with this, and it has a little bit of everything we’ve done throughout the course of our existence.”
As for the meaning behind the song, vocalist Jeff Moreira said the lyrics sought to send a positive message of self-actualization.
“Lyrically, it’s about tackling a fear. 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.”
This April, the band is slated to go out on tour with Glassjaw, Better Lovers, and Teenage Wrist to celebrate the 25th anniversary of The Opposite of December. You can check out the full list of dates below and get your tickets today.
