LIKE MOTHS TO FLAMES have released a new music video!

Titled Pure Like Porcelain, the upcoming EP from the American metalcore band is the follow-up to 2020’s No Eternity In Gold and is scheduled to be released in November this year, via UNFD.

For the upcoming EP, vocalist Chris Roetter credits the band’s newest members and writing partners, guitarists Zach Pishey and Jeremy Smith, as key to drawing out the refreshed and elevated departure in sound that the band intend to go for on the upcoming EP. “I remember hearing some of the stuff they were writing and thinking, ‘wow, I don’t know if this is too left field to what we do as a band’,” Chris Roetter admits. “I feel like sometimes I might be the safe keeper because I’ve been in the band since I was a kid, so it’s harder for me to stray from what we’re known for. But I know Zach and Jeremy have a lot to show, and a lot to offer as musicians. So I just said, ‘you know what, you guys do whatever you want. If it’s weird, it’s weird!’”

“I think the EP is just a small taste of where we could possibly go next as a band,” Pishney adds. “If No Eternity… is considered a return to form album, then the EP is expanding those boundaries again. The coolest thing to me about the outcome of the EP is how extreme the shift in dynamic can be from song to song while still feeling like a cohesive listening experience as a whole.”

Alongside the announcement of the new EP, the band have released the first song from the upcoming EP; The Preservation Of Hate. Speaking about the new song, Roetter adds, “I think we just wanted to have fun with this one. A lot of time the focus for MOTHS is working cool chorus parts into the structure, so it’s a nice change of pace to have little singing on the track. It feels like a continuation of some of the more anger driven songs in catalogue and people who like the heavier side of the band will be pleased.”
