Moths: “Pride”

Tracks
Written By Michael Gutierrez

A doomy barker from the start. Nice buildup. The stop & start percussion breaks and guitar fills give the greenlight to mayhem in the pit. Our highlighted track “Pride” is one of the seven deadly sins thematized on MOTHS’ latest album Septem. That’s “seven” in Latin for the fans of dead languages. An old school bluesy mentality runs through the solo, harking back to vintage hard rock. MOTHS hail from San Juan, Puerto Rico. Check out our interview with bassist Weslie Negrón ahead of their most recent US tour.
