Be Well - The Weight And The Cost (Splatter Vinyl) LP
With The Weight And The Cost, Be Well present a deeply personal and emotionally resonant debut that transcends the boundaries of traditional hardcore. Formed by Brian McTernan, known for his work with Battery and as a producer for bands like Thrice, Turnstile and Hot Water Music, the project brings together experienced musicians from across the hardcore scene.
The album is rooted in melodic hardcore but expands far beyond genre conventions. Instead of fitting into a predefined sound, the music evolves directly from the emotional weight of its themes. The result is a record that feels authentic, raw and deeply human.
Lyrically, The Weight And The Cost is shaped by McTernan’s personal struggles, including years of depression and life transitions. These experiences are translated into powerful and honest songs that explore vulnerability, resilience and self-reflection. The album stands as both a cathartic release and a message of understanding and connection.
Musically, the band balances intensity and melody with precision. Driving rhythms, expressive guitar work and passionate vocals create a dynamic sound that moves between aggression and introspection. This emotional range gives the album a lasting impact and sets it apart within the hardcore genre.
Pressed on limited baby pink with blue splatter vinyl and restricted to just 200 copies, this edition is a highly collectible release. The Weight And The Cost is more than just an album, it’s a powerful statement of emotion, experience and artistic growth.
