The Well - Death and Consolation - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

The Nether Dawn is Antony Milton who is one of New Zealand's leading figures of new experimental drone and folk music. InchWell SongInch was recorded in the dim light of an underground abandoned bunker. InchThe bunker is a beautiful and lonely spot with a spectacular view that encompasses much of the southern reaches of the North Island. But what draws me back, laden down with acoustic and battery operated instruments, is the rich resonant acoustic properties of these man made caves. One cannot help but sing in such a place.Inch - Antony Milton.

In the space of barely a breath, Poison the Well pacify fits of jarring brutality with moments of fragile beauty. Their unmistakable melodic hardcore gently dilutes betrayal, depression, and loss with hard-won wisdom and diligently earned self-acceptance. For as much force as they commit to the riffs and the breakdowns, there's an equal amount of naked emotion encoded in their relatable hooks. At this point, they are unassumingly, yet undeniably embedded in the DNA of modern metal and hardcore. Poison the Well's 1999 debut, The Opposite of December... A Season of Separation has claimed spots on Brooklyn Vegan'sInch15 '90s Metalcore Albums That Still Resonate Today, InchKERRANG!'sInch 21 Best U.S. Metalcore Albums of All Time,Inch Loudwire's Inch25 Best Metalcore Albums of All Time,Inch and Revolver's Inch10 Most Influential Metalcore Albums of All Time.Inch Stereogum put it best, InchThe Opposite of December... A Season of Separation influenced a whole generation of metalcore bands. InchMeanwhile, 2003's You Come Before You remains regarded among Metal Hammer's Inch100 Greatest Metal Albums of the 21st CenturyInch and Rock Sound's Inch250 Greatest Albums of Our Lifetime.Inch Despite going on hiatus following 2009's The Tropic Rot, the group's influence has only expanded over the years (as evidenced by over 100 million streams across their catalog). After touring in 2015 and 2021, they've commemorated milestone birthdays of both You Come Before You and The Opposite of December with in-demand headline jaunts. Once again, the members-Jeff Moreira [vocals], Ryan Primack [guitar], and Chris Hornbrook [drums]-felt an intense need to create as a unit. Rallying together, the guys channeled the spirit of their most celebrated material through a prism of new experience on their fifth full-length offering, Peace In Place [SHARPTONE], introduced by the single InchThoroughbreds.In

2018 . From the opening notes of Well Wisher's debut full length, This is Fine, it's clear the band are not afraid to brandish mighty guitar riffage front and center. In fact, they tiptoe perfectly between sounds that, on hasty assessment, could be classified singularly as punk, alternative, or even pop rock; yet, they seem to draw only the best elements of each, avoiding the less desirable pitfalls associated with these genres. The resulting sound is ambitious and raw, dynamic and powerful. Some of that power is owed to the deep current of lyrical content flowing just below the surface of seemingly happy, hook-laden tunes. Singer/guitarist Natalie Newbold mined her own past in a tumultuous, long-term relationship for the bulk of the inspiration throughout This is Fine, resulting in a level of candor and self-reflection not often embedded in such catchy rock songs. This potent recipe has earned Well Wisher a reputation as one of the most-promising new bands to arise from the New Jersey DIY scene. Originally started as a solo project for Newbold, Well Wisher has taken shape as a full band, touring frequently despite their relative newness. They have already shared the stage with New Found Glory, The Movielife, Blis, Thin Lips, Kississippi, and many more, and plan to continue touring extensively throughout the remainder of this year and into the next.
