Silverstein Release Emotionally Driven New Track “Poison Pill”

Posted by Ramon Gonzales in News on March 24, 2023

The single is one of a handful of never-before heard tracks released on the deluxe edition of ‘Misery Made Me’.

Today, Canadian post-hardcore outfit Silverstein have announced a deluxe edition to last year’s Misery Made Me. The fresh take on the band’s 11th studio album will include: seven never-before-heard tracks; two new songs, as well as orchestral, acoustic and live renditions of some Misery Made Me cuts.

To commemorate the announcement, the band has revealed one of the brand new tracks from the record, “Poison Pill.” The track is purely Silverstein: catchy, heavy and emotionally charged.

“Almost a year later, it’s super exciting to celebrate my favorite album we’ve ever made with some extra songs and alternate versions,” shares front man Shane Told. “‘Poison Pill’ was one of my favorite songs from the Misery Made Me sessions, but I wasn’t sure it completely fit in with the rest of the album. But, it was so catchy, and had so many cool tones and textures we wanted to save it for this moment and really show a different emotion and feel from the rest of the album. The song inspired us to throwback to some of the music videos we grew up with, and it’s one of the most fun videos we’ve ever done. I think it captures the feel of the music perfectly.”

Misery Made Me Deluxe is set to be released on April 7th via UNFD. The album is available for pre-order, including an exclusive collaboration bundle with lifestyle brand The Pretty Cult. The two have teamed up to create a custom Silverstein tarot card deck, special tarot card-themed merch, a custom candle, and altar cloth. Pre-orders are available HERE.

The Pretty Cult owner / founder Arielle Salsa shares: “I’m so excited for this opportunity to team up with Silverstein on this collection. I met Silverstein at their Misery Made Me album pop-up last May and saw they had tarot-inspired art for some of their merch. After connecting with them, it was clear that The Pretty Cult was the perfect fit to expand the concept as my brand revolves around tarot, the occult, and the practice of witchcraft. I thought we could expand on the idea by creating a collection complete with a tarot deck, guidebook, altar cloth and two unique Silverstein x The Pretty Cult tarot items. When creating this tarot deck and guidebook, I wanted to make sure it was as authentic as possible, as I am a practicing witch myself. I wanted to create a deck that was as inclusive to the avid tarot user as it was to a beginner.

As Silverstein is a band that are self-managed and unafraid to constantly push boundaries and grow over their 20+ career, it was a nice fit with the practice of tarot as it’s less about a higher power and more about being your own master and creating your own path.”
