and were released by Ohev Records on a split 12" vinyl with Key Largo, Florida-based metalcore band Promise No Tomorrow (which featured members that would go on to play in the band Glasseater) in the early spring of 1998. A compact disc version of the split was scheduled to be released through Eulogy Recordings in the early summer of 1998 but was held back when the band, unhappy with the production of their first recording session, announced plans to fully re-record it. In early May 1998, Pase departed, leading to the band's former drummer, Christopher Hornbrook, to rejoin Poison the Well (Pase had replaced Hornbrook in the autumn of 1997).

As their forthcoming EP Distance Only Makes the Heart Grow Fonder would not be ready until later that summer, the band made demo tapes to sell on their upcoming tour.

It was the band's first release to bare the name Poison the Well and was limited to 100 hand-numbered copies. Abramowitz and Saunders left the band after the tour and were replaced by Jeronimo Gomez and Derek Miller. With Gomez and Miller in the band, Poison the Well hastily
