Catharsis builds community. As if conducting group scream therapy, MOUTH FOR WAR incite a collective release of emotion set to a soundtrack of metal intensity, pit-splitting hardcore spirit, and earth-rumbling grooves.
The Colorado quintet — vocalist Trae Roberts, drummer Mason Sego, guitarists Gabe Moya and Jonah Starbuck, and bassist Michael Guglielmi — rally listeners together around unflinchingly honest and uncontainable bursts of aggression and emotion.
After earning praise from Outburn, No Echo, and many more, they hold nothing back on Bleed Yourself, their second full-length and MNRK Heavy label debut.
A compelling video featuring animation by Torey Kervick and artwork by Caleb Butcher, ‘Captivated’ stands as a pulverising album centerpiece.
Elaborates Roberts:“‘Captivated’ is a song with a strange lyrical theme in a style I’ve never really written before, so we knew this would be the perfect track to bring our friends Caleb and Torey in to make a crazy visual for.
I wrote this track about a mushroom trip where I felt like for the first time I was visited by my late sister’s spirit, oddly enough through the eyes of my cat Adelaide. I love how this video came out and we’re so excited to share it with you.
During 2019, MOUTH FOR WAR united members of underground favourites Bruise, Remain, and Sustain. Following the An Ear Kept To The Ground EP, the group unleashed Life Cast In Glass in 2021, earning widespread acclaim. Along the way, they carefully struck an elusive balance of modern and classic heavy music, nodding to Lamb Of God, The Devil Wears Prada, and Meshuggah as well as Pantera (hence their band name) and Metallica.
The band has since taken on the entire US with bands such as Bodysnatcher, Boundaries, and ZAO, and has shared stages Knocked Loose, Malevolence, and others, playing numerous sold out shows and taking crowds by proverbial storm.
