Listen to Poison The Well's first new song in 15 years, Trembling Level

Having announced huge anniversary tours for 2025, U.S. metalcore heroes Poison The Well have now released their first new music in a whopping 15 years.

The song, Trembling Level, is as raging and slippery as prime PTW. Speaking about the track, they say in some ways it distils their essence into one track.

"For me, I was trying to figure how to effectively incorporate elements from our whole discography into one song," guitarist Ryan Primack reveals. "We ended up with this, and it has a little bit of everything we've done throughout the course of our existence."

"Lyrically, it's about tackling a fear," says singer Jeff Moreira. "I tend to write based on personal experience. You're approaching something you're scared to do, going through it, and realising the hardest parts are actually the ones you should be looking towards because those will lead you to success."

As you'll see below, it rips.

2025 looks to be a stacked year for the band. The new track comes alongside news that the band have signed to SharpTone, and a hint of more new music to come.

Meanwhile, last year the band will be touring the U.S. and Europe for the first time in 15 years to mark the 25th birthday of 1999's essential The Opposite of December... A Season of Separation album. As if that wasn't enough, for the American run they'll be joined by Glassjaw, Better Lovers and Teenage Wrist.

"For me, The Opposite of December... represents everything I absorbed as a teenager: the shows, the music, the raw energy of hardcore and punk," says Jeff. "I never imagined that record would still resonate 25 years later. Seeing people continue to connect with it inspires me every day, and I'm so grateful for the opportunities this band has given me.

"This upcoming tour is so much more than just a series of shows. It's a celebration of that record, its impact, and the journey we've shared together. We've worked hard to make it special in every way — from the lineup, featuring Glassjaw, Better Lovers, and Teenage Wrist, to the merch, the setlist, and the production. It's all about honoring The Opposite of December... and the listeners who've supported us through the years."
