It was already like the clouds parting and sunshine beaming down on us when Poison The Well announced they were FINALLY releasing a new album, called Peace in Place, their first since 2009’s The Tropical Rot. Those clouds are staying spread open like legs, because according to the band’s frontman Jeffrey Moreira, they’re already writing songs for its successor. Hell fuckin yes.

Moreira chatted with Kerrang!, where he touched on the band’s influence as well as what they might have coming down the pipeline.

“I don’t feel like, ‘We walked so those bands could run!’ or anything like that [laughs.] They had to leave stuff behind, spend years on tour, play shit venues, and slowly build themselves to this point. That’s what anyone does following their dream. It’s great that fans are more accepting now. We were called sell-outs just for signing to Atlantic, even though we put out arguably the heaviest record on Atlantic at that point. I’m happy that bands don’t have to deal with that shit anymore.

“I don’t know if there are remnants of PTW still hanging in the atmosphere of this current scene – if there are, they’re barely-perceptible wisps of smoke – but hopefully that much broader fanbase of acts like Spiritbox or Knocked Loose will go back and discover some of the awesome bands that came before.”

Of course Poison The Well has impact, but what I’m really here to focus on is the fact that this triumphant return may not be a one-off…

“We’re writing to fulfil the things we love in this band. If any of us wanted to do anything different, we’d start another band. Whether that’s made for ‘a classic’ is something that only time will tell. On ‘The Opposite Of December…’, we were just trying to get people to sing along. On ‘You Come Before You’, we wanted to have the heaviest record on a major label. Here we wanted an album that tastefully and respectfully understands what Poison The Well is – and an acknowledgement that Jeffrey likes a bunch of heavy shit.

“Beyond that? We’ve already talked about writing more songs. And more than the songs themselves, I think it’s a good sign that we’re already talking about the next record. Seeing the outcome of our labours has been a big motivator. It hasn’t been easy. There were a bunch of blockades. But having that finished vinyl in your hands gives you such a massive high. So I guess now we’ll just keep making music until we don’t want to anymore – or until there’s no-one left to listen…”
