MOTHS, the progressive metal unit from San Juan, Puerto Rico, are pleased to release “Wrath,” the second single from their upcoming album ‘Septem,’ due out August 1st. The new track arrives alongside an official music video premiering on Metal Hammer Spain, available to view below.
“Wrath” marks a bold evolution for MOTHS, as they weave Black Metal elements into their signature blend of Doom and Progressive Metal. The track channels overwhelming rage toward a world that offers no compromise—an eruption of frustration against systemic hardship and existential weight. The scorched-earth imagery reflects a desperate desire to start over, even while acknowledging that such renewal is never truly clean. Amidst the track’s unrelenting force, Mariel’s sopranoesque vocals float like a haunting specter—eerie, mysterious, and dark—offering a chilling contrast to the fury beneath. “Wrath” is a statement piece: theatrical, aggressive, and unafraid to confront the chaos head-on.
On the new single, bassist Weslie Negrón comments:
“‘Wrath’ was one of the songs we finished while recording ‘Septem’ at Romaphonic Studios in Buenos Aires. I remember how everything came together quickly—it all just made sense, and we ran with it. We loved it from the start. We knew the track needed something eerie and full of depth, and Mariel absolutely delivered. When she added her vocals—especially that final section—it blew us away. The contrast between her soprano-style delivery and the chaos underneath brought out a haunting quality that elevated the whole piece. It’s also one of our favorite tracks to perform live. The energy and aggression in ‘Wrath’ are unlike anything we’ve done before—it’s intense, and honestly, just so much fun to play.”
