16 years between albums is a long time to sit with an audience’s expectations. Poison The Well have answered with ‘Peace in Place’, out now via SharpTone Records, and the new single “Everything Hurts” makes a strong case for why the wait was worth it.
The track locks into PTW’s signature quiet/loud dynamics with real precision. Moody and metallic in equal measure, it builds tension steadily from the opening notes and doesn’t let go. It’s the kind of song that reminds you exactly what made this band essential.
The accompanying video follows singer Jeffrey Moreira in an almost voyeuristic style. The tension mirrors the music, escalating deliberately, and there are easter eggs scattered throughout for fans paying close attention.
Moreira was direct about the lyrical core: “‘Everything Hurts’ is about the patience and effort it takes to keep relationships alive. I care deeply about the people in my life, but even the people you love can be frustrating sometimes. And it’s important to remember that we can be just as frustrating to them. The ones that stick around are the ones you have a unique connection with.”
PTW are also out on a spring 2026 headlining tour with support from Converge, Balmora, SPY, The Armed, and The Barbarians of California appearing on different segments. ‘Peace in Place’ is out now on SharpTone Records.
