Influential Miami, FL metalcore outfit Poison The Well will be taking their landmark 1999 debut album “The Opposite Of December… A Season Of Separation” on the road in the new year. The group have just announced a run of shows celebrating the 25th anniversary of that game-changing seminal effort, which melded melody and metalcore to memorable effect.
Taking on the direct support slot on this stacked bill is acclaimed Long Island post-hardcore band Glassjaw. Better Lovers, a supergroup comprised of former members of The Dillinger Escape Plan, Every Time I Die and more, will be the second band to perform each night, with grungegazers Teenage Wrist slated to open.
Poison The Well have invited fans to text (878) 789-8663 for early access to tickets ahead of the general onsale this Friday, December 06th. You can also find further info via laylo.com/poisonthewell/. Lest you forget, Poison The Well are also working on their first new album since 2009.
Poison The Well vocalist Jeff Moreira commented of this trek:
“For me, ‘The Opposite of December…‘ represents everything I absorbed as a teenager: the shows, the music, the raw energy of hardcore and punk. 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.”
For this to be our first tour in 15 years feels unreal. I can’t wait to celebrate with everyone in April. Open the door for your friend.”
