Dayton, Ohio’s feral art-punk heavyweights Abertooth Lincoln return with new single Mother is God, a haunting ballad of abandonment, delusion, and the wreckage cults leave behind. Available to stream now on all major platforms via Golden Robot Records.
Mother is God marks a bold evolution for Abertooth Lincoln. Their first true ballad, the song is a slow-burning meditation on cult leader Amy Carlson – told from the imagined perspective of the child she left behind. It wrestles with the devastating contradiction of a woman who claimed to love the world but couldn’t love her own kid.
Musically, the track stretches Abertooth’s dynamic range: down-tempo and restrained in moments but laced with dissonance and tension that builds to a gripping, cathartic conclusion.
