US metalcore giants Like Moth To Flames have lifted another taste from their upcoming EP with the release of new single Views From Halfway Down.
The band’s new EP Pure Like Porcelain will be released on Friday November 5 and also features recent cut The Preservation Of Hate.
Broadly, Views From Halfway Down explores the idea that humans often live in cycles of pain, addicted to behaviours we know are bad for us. Like Moths To Flames vocalist Chris Roetter expands thatthe single is about the struggle and seesaw nature of battling addition, whether that’s to substance or even unhealthy mindsets.
“This song is the first time I’ve ever approached themes surrounding addiction,” he shares.
“I think I tried to put myself in a place of morbid euphoria. Writing from a spot that felt like I was stuck between wanting to be better and wanting to remain in the state of mind of feeding whatever is driving the addiction. The view from halfway down is that time when you’re falling, where very little time passes but you see so much of your life passing by.”
