MOTHS Release New Single “Wrath”
Progressive metal outfit MOTHS continue to traipse through the Seven Deadly Sins with the release of the second single off their forthcoming album Septem, titled “Wrath”.
With each track on the new album dealing with some of humanity’s greatest flaws, bassist Weslie Negrón said the latest single in particular has a certain eeriness that was boosted by vocalist Mariel Viruet’s delivery.
“‘Wrath’ was one of the songs we finished while recording Septem at Romaphonic Studios in Buenos Aires. I remember how everything came together quickly—it all just made sense, and we ran with it. We loved it from the start. We knew the track needed something eerie and full of depth, and Mariel absolutely delivered. When she added her vocals—especially that final section—it blew us away. The contrast between her soprano-style delivery and the chaos underneath brought out a haunting quality that elevated the whole piece. It’s also one of our favorite tracks to perform live. The energy and aggression in ‘Wrath’ are unlike anything we’ve done before—it’s intense, and honestly, just so much fun to play.”
Recorded in just five days, Septem is set to release on August 1. It’s being described by the band as a “visceral journey through the Seven Deadly Sins, with each track embodying a facet of indulgence, obsession, and self-destruction.” So with that in mind, you should already know the tracklist without looking below: Envy, Wrath, Sloth, Gluttony, Lust, Greed, and Pride.
Septem will be released on August 1, but you can preorder your copy today.
