The Tropic Rot, a brand new record by the prestigious metalcore pioneers Poison The Well. Awesome. It has to be said I was really looking forward to this album, but does it live up to my expectations? Why yes, yes it does. It builds up on everything that was present on the previous album, Versions, retaining the very dark feel but making it more interesting and accessible. They implement a lighter aesthetic, that strikes me as almost country (almost, that is) that blends seamlessly into the heavier, more metal/hardcore sections. However, despite this country-ish influence it still comes off as focused and aggressive as ever, resulting in an overall refreshing listen, it's something slightly different and I really like it. As a band Poison The Well have really progressed from their metalcore roots and good for them really, this is a great listen so give it a try.
