The Widows Peak (song)
''The Shade of Poison Trees'' is the fifth studio album recorded by the band Dashboard Confessional. Production and composition ''The Shade of Poison Trees'' had been recorded over 10 days in Florida with producer Don Gilmore and engineer Mark Kiczula. Recording took place at Bieler Brothers Studio with assistant engineer Matt LaPlant, and at The Dungeon with assistant engineer Joe Williams. Gilmore mixed the recordings with help from Kiczula, at Bieler Brothers Studio. George Marino mastered the recordings at Sterling Sound. ''The Shade of Poison Trees'' is heralded as a return to form, so to speak, breaking away from the electric, full band sound of their previous two albums and returning to the acoustic sound that Carrabba was previously known for. However, the album is unmistakably more mature, as the songs sound similar to their more recent work, yet without the heavily produced style. Release On August 16, 2007, ''The Shade of Poison Trees'' was announced for release, and ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

This also refers to a "back head slam" where a wrestler drops to the mat while holding an opponent by their neck. Variations Argentine neckbreaker The attacking wrestler first places their opponent face-up across their shoulders, as in an Backbreaker#Argentine backbreaker rack, Argentine backbreaker rack, and hooks the opponent's head with one hand and their leg with the other.
