Vadim Taver (Poison The Well) Releases New Single “Serenade (Redux)”

Musician and producer Vadim Taver returns with his first new release in two years: “Serenade (Redux),” a reimagined version of a track originally written and performed by ’90s hardcore band Ashes, which featured acclaimed producer Brian McTernan (Circa Survive, Thrice, Cave In).

Taver is best known for his long-standing involvement in the punk rock and hardcore scenes, having played with influential bands including This Day Forward (Equal Vision Records), A Life Once Lost (Ferret Records), and since 2016, serving as guitarist for Poison the Well (Atlantic/Trustkill Records).

“Serenade (Redux)” was recorded and produced in collaboration with William J. Sullivan, a respected producer whose credits include work with Kid Cudi and other major artists. The track blends emotional intensity with lush soundscapes, offering a cinematic reinterpretation of a track that left a lasting impression on Taver.

Commenting on the song, Taver states:

“Ashes were a band I’ve loved since my teens, and ‘Serenade’ in particular has been a song that I’ve never stopped coming back to. I’ve always enjoyed reinterpreting and making renditions of others’ music, and this project allowed me to take a practically forgotten song and make it my own while maintaining the elements of what attracted me to it in the first place. William J. Sullivan is a good friend who has worked with many high-profile artists, and his knowledge of the studio and recording was unprecedented in helping to achieve what I heard in my head.”

While Taver is often associated with heavy music, his musical roots are far more diverse. He grew up performing in concert bands, jazz ensembles, and orchestras, and toured internationally as a member of the Philadelphia Boys Choir. His latest solo work draws inspiration from atmospheric and progressive artists such as Air, Pink Floyd, and Radiohead, reflecting a broader and more experimental sonic palette.

“Serenade (Redux)” is now available on all major streaming platforms.
