Hailing from the Dallas TX,\u00a0mothaltar<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0blurs the line across different genres with their dedication to combining complex, blistering riffs with beautifully cinematic soundscapes. Their latest single,\u00a0\u201cOriginal Vision\u201d<\/strong>, encapsulates this dedication to multi-layered songcraft completely. Opening with an atmospheric bed of bird noises and drones, the song begins with discordant, symphonic piano and strings before building into an almost tribal drum beat. All of this gives way to a full-frontal assault of brutal Metalcore.<\/p>\n

With a heavy emphasis on storytelling and creating lush atmospheres,\u00a0mothaltar<\/strong>\u00a0seeks to take both itself and its listeners on a journey of awakened expression. \u201cThis song means growth to us,<\/em><\/strong>\u201d explains the band. \u201cWe wanted to release a track that was theatrical and introduced larger themes of temptation. The song was birthed out of a desire to form a story before a song.<\/em><\/strong>\u201c<\/p>\n

Mixed and\u00a0Mastered by\u00a0Mattias Ohlsson and released on\u00a0Affiant Records<\/a>,\u00a0mothaltar<\/strong>\u00a0has also dropped a video for \u201cOriginal Vision<\/strong>\u201c. \u201cThe video is a narrative discussing the inner temptation,<\/em><\/strong>\u201d says the band.\u00a0\u201cThe main character sees a serpent man and is induced by him but comes to realize he is only projecting what he is feeling inside. Our Director\u00a0Kenny Minor helped capture the eerie themes and proper tones to set up the severity of our mental health and temptations.<\/strong><\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

The single is now streaming across all digital platforms. Listen now on\u00a0Spotify<\/a> or watch the video on YouTube<\/a>.<\/p>\n
