The Well

The Well is an Austin, Texas-based alternative psych/metal trio formed in 2011. What began in a central Austin garage - stripped down to acoustic guitar, bass drum, and dual vocals - quickly evolved into a powerful, genre-blurring sound rooted in '70s proto-metal, '60s psychedelia, Southern sludge, and new wave. Renowned for their immersive live performances, The Well rapidly gained momentum in the Austin scene, leading to the self-release of their debut seven-inch single, "7," which earned attention from underground metal outlets and a notable write-up in Metal Hammer. In 2014, the band released their debut full-length, Samsara, after signing with Riding Easy Records, followed by Pagan Science and Death and Consolation. After years of extensive touring across the U.S. and abroad, including collaborations with Norman Reedus and AMC for the series Ride, and sharing stages with artists ranging from Electric Wizard and High on Fire to Ty Segall and Chelsea Wolfe, The Well entered a new chapter in 2026 with Spaceflight Records, releasing their fourth album, ...And Flames Ran Like Living Animals.
