Hailing from Miami, FL in the late 90's, Poison the Well arose quickly within the underground hardcore punk scene, becoming a major touring act in several U.S. markets on the strength of a confident debut album and energized live performances. The band favored a style of metalcore that evoked the guitar histrionics of Slayer and the brutal stomp of Hatebreed, while also balancing the proceedings with doses of warmth and melody. Poison the Well remains a potent draw among hardcore punk fans young and old, and albums like 2007's Versions and 2009's The Tropic Rot illustrated a willingness to push boundaries without losing the band's metal-styled muscle. Poisons the well are Jeffery Moreira, Ryan Primack, Chris Hornbrook and Bradley Grace.
