Poison the Well, a band often credited with helping define the metalcore genre, is finally releasing a new studio album after more than a decade and a half. Titled Peace in Place, the album is scheduled for release on March 20, 2026 through SharpTone Records. This will be the band’s sixth full‑length record and their first since the 2009 album The Tropic Rot.
The band has dropped the first single, “Thoroughbreds,” accompanied by a video that gives fans a taste of what to expect from the new record. The track and the upcoming album blend the band’s signature heavy riffs with introspective lyricism, showcasing the emotional depth that has defined their work over the years.
Vocalist Jeffrey Moreira said the material on Peace in Place channels years of powerful emotions — frustration, heartache and ultimately connection. According to Moreira, these themes inform the heart of the record, making it one of their most emotionally charged releases.
Peace in Place offers a diverse tracklist that ranges from aggressive breakdowns to more reflective moments, reinforcing Poison the Well’s influential role in heavy music. Fans who have followed the band since their groundbreaking late‑’90s work will find that this return retains the band’s raw energy while presenting fresh perspectives and renewed intensity.
