US aggressors MOUTH FOR WAR 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.

MOUTH FOR WAR vocalist Trae Roberts comments: “‘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.”
Following their recent September run of headlining shows as well as a performance at this year’s edition the New England Metal And Hardcore Fest, MOUTH FOR WAR will join Norma Jean for a portion of their USA tour with Teeth this November.
MOUTH FOR WAR‘s most recent full-length, Bleed Yourself, was released last autumn 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 – rally 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 here: https://mouthforwar.ffm.to/bleedyourself
