2. Poison The Well"The sun is only out for about five hours a day and even when it is up, it's so overcast here you can't tell its daylight." Guitarist Ryan Primack speaks from the octagon shaped barn that serves as the band's recording studio located outside of Umea Sweden. Far from their native sunny climes of Ft. Lauderdale/Miami Florida, the trio of Primack, Chris Hornbrook (drums) and Jeffrey Moreira (vocals) have once again been working with the production team of Pelle Henricsson and Eskil Lovstro who recorded 2003's full-length You Come Before You. Poison The Well who formed in 1998 has sold over 300,000 albums in the U.S. and became the standard-bearers for loud music whose fury was matched by its display of emotion and that incorporated technical guitar and metallic bursts throughout. With their debut full-length The Opposite Of December (1999), the band spawned a legion of imitators but none who could match the intensity that weaved throughout the songs. The band has comfortably straddled tours with melodic emo acts, noisy punk group to brash hardcore and full out metal gods. A partial list of road partners over the past few years include Deftones, Thrice, Cursive, The International Noise Conspiracy, Killswitch Engage, The Promise Ring, Cult Of Luna, Thursday, Hatebreed, Glassjaw as well as featured slots on The Warped Tour and The Take Action Tour.
