Colorado-based metalcore quintet Mouth For War have just dropped a new standalone single titled “The Earth’s Cold Embrace“. Director Errick Easterday (Bodysnatcher, Varials) helmed the music video that has emerged alongside the track.
Speaking of the song itself, vocalist Trae Roberts had the following to say:
“‘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.”
