Formed in 2018, Moths consists of Mariel Viruet (vocals), Jonathan Miranda (lead guitar), Omar González (rhythm guitar), Weslie Negrón (bass), and Daniel Figueroa (drums). Envy features lyrics by former vocalist Damaris Rodríguez and blends heavy stoner/doom metal with psychedelic and progressive elements, exploring the destructive nature of jealousy and resentment.
Septem, a seven-track concept album centered on the Seven Deadly Sins, includes:
- Sloth
- Envy
- Greed
- Pride
- Lust
- Gluttony
- Wrath
Pre-orders are available at mothspr.bandcamp.com/album/septem.
Recorded over five days at Romaphonic Studios in Buenos Aires, Argentina, with additional sessions at Music Dorks in San Juan, the album marks the debut of vocalist Mariel Viruet, whose versatile performance ranges from haunting melodies to visceral screams. Mixed by Walter Chacón (Los Fabulosos Cadillacs) and mastered by Jens Bogren (Opeth, Katatonia) at Fascination Street Studios in Sweden, Septem fuses death and black metal with the band’s signature progressive, psychedelic, doom, and stoner metal sound. Bassist Weslie Negrón describes it as their most ambitious work, created without boundaries, capturing the band’s raw chemistry.
