“MOTH’s amazing performance was a wonderful way to celebrate the release of their CD; Endlessly in Motion. Their set was full of life and passion for their music.”
“MOTH delivers a revitalizing sound streaming through the Denver metal music scene. They have dominated the craft of heavy riffs with technical yet emotional solo’s.”
“I have found a lot of fantastic debuts from bands lately and ‘Endlessly In Motion’ by Moth is another impressive one. It was released only two months ago and I knew this record was a must-buy after the first time I heard it.”
“Denver-based death metallers have started their career on a strong note with the impressive debut Endlessly in Motion. An adept mix of forward thinking, technical and constantly interesting death metal with a few feathers plucked from melodic death's sense of melody and harmony.”
“Moth are a marvel to behold. Right off the bat “The Structure” molds a dark atmosphere around a beautiful acoustic intro that grapples with ease. It’s a ride from there – understatement of the year – as the track seamlessly drops into a dazzling display of smooth bass work and a tight rhythm section handled solely by David O'Berry.”
“ As the Body of the Moth opens up we see the Structure of the band unfolding in the opening track fittingly named Structure. The song starts of with a cool, chilling guitar riff that helps to introduce the band to the world that are met by bass and dramatic synth soon after, followed by the unveiling of the violent vocals and pounding drums that complete the creatures first steps into the world. When the album carries on we see the idea behind the master plan taking form and take even more baby steps emphasising the bands place in the institution of metal, pounding down the walls with earth shattering vocals and guitar riffs that shake the foundations of the world of metal as we know it, even with the acoustic introduction of Vast Expansion the band still show how they are out to destroy and will take as many victims as humanely possible. ”
“Instrumentally the album is held together tightly by the relentless, crushing, lockstep rhythmic backbone provided by Dave O’Berry’s precision guitar riffing and Stephen Handler’s pummeling double-bass drumming. The duo’s performance and interplay from beginning to end is highly impressive to say the least. Rhiannon Wisniewski’s tasteful keyboard work and backing vocals float hauntingly over the proceedings and imbue the entire album with an ethereal, otherworldly atmosphere.”
“The mix of heavy fast paced work and the sower ambiance works incredibly well. It plays to your desire to chill out and just listen to music, while simultaneously fueling the animalistic need to just go nuts and wreak havoc. They weave grandiose webs of solo work, staccato riffs, and growled vocals. It is a ferocious album that does not give you much break, save for maybe the intro of the track ‘A Vast Expansion’ which is only working towards exquisitely perpetuating the ambiance of the album.”
“The music is a high-octane burst of technically demanding melodic death metal with deftly placed keyboard atmospherics, skin-stripping vocals, and a virally infectious melody.”
“Fast. Crushing. Brutal. They’re all adjectives that describe Moth perfectly. Maybe “anthemic” should be in there as well actually; this certainly isn’t your classic death metal.”
