Septem

Septem, is a visceral exploration of the Seven Deadly Sins, each track embodying a different facet of indulgence, obsession, and self-destruction. From the corrosive jealousy of Envy to the insatiable hunger of Gluttony and the all-consuming rage of Wrath, the album plunges listeners into a dark, immersive experience where unchecked desires spiral into chaos.

This time, MOTHS dive deeper into heavier, darker territory, weaving touches of Death and Black Metal into their signature blend of Progressive, Psychedelic, Doom, and Stoner Metal. The result is an intense, dynamic sound that balances crushing aggression with atmospheric depth.

Recorded primarily at Romaphonic Studios in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in just five days, Septem captures the raw energy and impressions the country left on the band. It also marks Mariel Viruet’s debut as MOTHS’ vocalist, showcasing her wide range of vocal techniques—from haunting melodies to visceral screams.

The album was mixed by Walter Chacón (Los Fabulosos Cadillacs) and mastered by Jens Bogren (Opeth, Katatonia, Between the Buried and Me) at Fascination Street Studios in Sweden.

Blending intense instrumentation with evocative, poetic lyricism, Septem serves as both a cautionary tale and an unflinching dive into the rawest corners of human nature. It’s a journey through temptation and ruin—seductive, merciless, and impossible to ignore.
