Colorado’s favorite metalcore practitioners MOUTH FOR WAR today drop their punishing new standalone single, “The Earth’s Cold Embrace” with an accompanying video. At once ominous and pit-propelling from its first note, the track stands among the band’s heaviest work to date.

Comments MOUTH FOR WAR vocalist Trae Roberts, “‘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.”

MOUTH FOR WAR‘s most recent full-length, Bleed Yourself, was released last Fall via MNRK Heavy. As if conducting group scream therapy, MOUTH FOR WAR incites a collective release of emotion set to a soundtrack of metal intensity, pit-splitting hardcore spirit, and earth-rumbling grooves. The quintet — vocalist Trae Roberts, drummer Mason Sego, guitarists Gabe Moya and Jonah Starbuck, and bassist Michael Guglielmi — rallies listeners together around unflinchingly honest and uncontainable bursts of aggression and emotion.

Produced with Pete Grossmann at Bricktop Recording (Weekend Nachos, Harm’s Way, Gates To Hell), and mastered by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege (Obituary, Creeping Death, Vastum), the relentless delivery of Bleed Yourself has reaped worldwide critical acclaim since its release. Hailed Revolver Magazine, “This is music that’s so heavy it makes your arms sore to listen to it.”

Bleed Yourself is out now on CD, LP, cassette, and digital formats through MNRK Heavy, available HERE.
