Prog Band MOTHS Streams “Gluttony”, Announces New Record Septem

Puerto Rican prog band Moths has just announced their new record Septem due out August 1, and is now streaming the first track “Gluttony”.

“‘Gluttony’ is about the seductive nature of overindulgence—the way excess can feel like an endless feast until you realize you’ve lost control,” said Moths bassist Weslie Negrón. “The song invites you into this world of limitless pleasure, where every desire is satisfied, but at a cost. The more you take, the more you need, and before you know it, you’re consumed by your own hunger.

“Jonathan (lead guitar), who wrote the lyrics, wanted each listener to feel like they were the one being tempted, not in some distant or abstract way, but in their own daily lives. Whether it’s food, greed, addiction, or any craving that never seems to be enough, the song puts you in that moment of temptation. The lyrics are meant to feel immersive, like a whispered invitation that slowly pulls you in. There’s a fine line between pleasure and corruption, and this song exists right at that tipping point.”

On the music video, Negrón added: “For the music video, we wanted to take a direct and unfiltered approach to visually represent ‘Gluttony.’ To bring this vision to life, we brought in Drew Storks (Shy, Low), whose work not only captured the essence of the concept but elevated it to the next level. Alongside Ian García and Kyle Devorroh, they translated the theme into something grotesque and visceral—turning the sin of excess into an unsettling, visual experience.”
