Like Moths To Flames Premiere New Song “YOTM”

Posted by caemanamelio on

Like Moths To Flames have premiered a new song titled “YOTM.” This track is from the band’s new album “No Eternity In Gold,” which will be released on October 30. Chris Roetter commented:

“Over the last few years, you might’ve seen Moths posting around YOTM. We’ve been no stranger to hardships throughout the bands career and YOTM kinda became the motto and driving force for the band to better itself. Year Of The Moth is about giving one more glimpse into those struggles and finally allowing myself to move on. You can either fall victim to your problems or you can work yourself out of them.”

Like Moths To Flames Premiere “Habitual Decline” Video, Reveal Details For New Album “No Eternity In Gold”

Like Moths To Flames have premiered a new video for their new song “Habitual Decline.” This track is from the band’s new album “No Eternity In Gold,” which will be released on October 30.

Chris Roetter said the following about the new song:

“‘Habitual Decline’ encapsulates a lot of what I’ve been trying to convey in my lyrics since the band started. Sometimes you give your all and you feel like you’ve got nothing left. That echoes through a lot of what I try to do and accomplish, even outside of the band. This is kind of a ‘shedding skin’ feeling for me. Moving on and just accepting that I’m where I’m at and dealing with it.”

He also added the following about the new record:

“The 11 tracks focus on overcoming 11 separate issues that I’m dealing with when I wake up every day. Most prevalently, it’s about struggling with yourself and your own feelings about your ultimate worth. These songs probably showcase more of my own mind than our previous work. I live my life like an open book, and we in the band are all very spiritual people who are in touch with their emotions. I feel that is something that society neglects; we are taught to bury and suppress negative feelings, when we believe that by embracing those emotions, you learn a huge amount about yourself.”

“No Eternity In Gold” Track Listing:

01. “The Anatomy Of Evil”
02 “Habitual Decline”
03. “Burn In Water, Drown In Flame”
04. “Fluorescent White”
05. “God Complex”
06. “YOTM”
07. “Killing What’s Underneath”
08. “A Servant Of Plague”
09. “Demon Of My Own”
10. “Selective Sacrifice”
11. “Spiritual Eclipse”

Like Moths To Flames have premiered a new song titled “Smoke And Mirrors.” You can check that out below:

Chris Roetter commented:

“Very excited to release our second single! I think this kind of picks up where ‘Nowhere Left To Sink‘ left off. Capturing the same vibe for me lyrically it’s about the inner struggles of dealing with mental hurdles and obstacles that feel unavoidable, while ultimately being at fault.

The song is a great blend of old and new Moths, capturing a lot of the old sound while still showcasing some of the other elements we are trying to implement within the music.”

Like Moths To Flames have signed a new deal with UNFD. With this news, the band have also premiered a new video for their new single “All That You Lost.“

Chris Roetter had the following to say about UNFD:

“After 10 years of LMTF, I feel a huge sense of renewal throughout the band since we signed on to the label. UNFD has done amazing things for our team in a very short amount of time and we are heavily anticipating the future and what’s to come.”

He also added the following about the new song:

“‘All That You Lost‘ is about the ongoing struggles of being in toxic relationships and finally coming to the conclusion that you’ve had enough. I think it’s important to embrace the things that piss you off… If you can use it as means to grow. Sometimes it’s easier said than done.”

Like Moths To Flames Part Ways With Rise Records

Posted by caemanamelio on

During a chat on the BREWtally Speaking Podcast, Like Moths To Flames vocalist Chris Roetter confirmed that the band are no longer on Rise Records. Despite this, the group have been demoing new material lately.

Roetter said the following:

“This is actually the first time that the band’s been doing adequate demos. Like we would do ‘oh, man, check out this riff with these shitty drums.’ We actually paid our own money, went and did some demos.

So we’re actually taking the writing very seriously this time. We’re actually not on Rise anymore. This is the first time we are gonna be doing… not something on our own, we’re just kinda in-between right now.

…What I’d said about ‘Dying Things‘, about how we feel about the last few releases was just an extension of that, unfortunately, where… I’m not trying to blow up anybodies spot, but I personally feel like we were backburnered a little bit.

We’re an easy band to please, cause we do a lot of things ourselves. So it’s like when we ask for minimal things, that was us getting help. Instead of it helping the band, it was like ‘welp here’s us giving you aid and that’s it.’

So I think for us it’s kinda lit a fire to be the best that we can be. Having new members definitely makes it easier. People would be like Moths has had 7-8 members, is it hard? It’s like no, because people keep leaving that made it hard.

Then we bring in people who are ambitious about the band, who want to grind and write… It’s almost like let me prove my worth type of thing. The dudes have gone way beyond that.”

He continued:

“So this time around, we’re not even planned on doing a record, and we already got 7-8 songs written, and 3 of them are professionally recorded.

They’ve got production, they’ve got ear candy, they’re properly engineered. Not just us doing them in our garage.

So it’s just like kind of us making sure we got the ammunition for when we do start to figure out where the bands gonna go, what we’re gonna do after this tour.”
