Lollapalooza and Just Like Heaven lineups announced; Jay-Z celebrates album anniversaries with shows; John K Samson may stop recording and touring.
Poison The Well have shared the second taste of their first album in 17 years, Peace In Place, and new single "Everything Hurts" shows off a few different sides of the band that we didn't hear on the excellent lead single "Thoroughbreds." We get some tension-building speak-singing that almost sounds more like classic mewithoutYou than classic Poison The Well, and that builds to a soaring clean-sung hook before erupting into some breakdown-friendly metalcore.
Poison The Well and Converge both helped define '90s and 2000s metalcore, they both have anticipated new albums coming out this year, and now they announced a tour together for this spring. Support at the East Coast/Midwest dates comes from West Coast hardcore punks Spy and Connecticut death-y metalcore crew Balmora, and the West Coast dates are with punk antagonists The Armed and the AWOLNATION-related Barbarians of California.
