De Amerikaanse metalcore band Mouth For War heeft hun nieuwe single “The Earth’s Cold Embrace” uitgebracht, samen met een bijbehorende videoclip. Zanger Trae Roberts verklaart dat de track een volgende stap is in de muzikale evolutie van de band, waarin nieuwe elementen worden toegevoegd zonder de oorspronkelijke invloeden te verliezen.
Trae Roberts zegt het volgende over de track:
The Earth’s Cold Embrace is the next step in musical evolution for MOUTH FOR WAR. We’re bringing in lots of new elements while still maintaining the influences that brought this band together. We were very stoked to bring in [producer] Josh Schroeder to really bring this new track to life.
The track is based on a dream I had on tour that really messed with my head for a few days. It was essentially a storyline where I killed someone in a private setting, then proceeded to be stalked by a crowd of people that knew what I had done until ultimately being forced to shoot myself. I tried to embody the mood of the dream in the instrumental of this track before even implementing lyrical content. We were lucky enough that our friend Dave hooked us up with this underground nuclear missile complex to shoot the video, which was incredibly fitting to the eerie vibe of the song. Hopefully you all love the new track as much as we do.
