Poison The Well On Hiatus

Poison The Well have announced their decision to go on an indefinite hiatus:

So, after twelve years of being a band, countless tours around the world and records being released, we have made the decision to take some time to explore other interests in our lives. We’ve all reached a point where we feel like we need to take a step back from the band and pursue other things. PTW has been an all encompassing, full time thing for such a long period that this isn’t an easy thing to do. We want to thank everyone who has supported us in anyway, whether it be buying a record or a shirt, to the occasional robbery from time to time. Once again, thanks for everything and we couldn’t have done any of this without you.

The band has been together since 1997, and released 5 full-length albums. Their most recent release, The Tropic Rot, came out last year on Ferret Records.
