Puerto Rican doom/prog crew MOTHS just shared a new single, “Path of Existence,” and you can hear it with us first. They’re also announcing some U.S. tour dates alongside co-headliners INSOMNIAC.
With the release of “Path of Existence,” the band are entering a new era, as this is the debut recording to feature drummer Emmanuel de León. The track also marks the official addition of Christian Santiago on synths, further expanding MOTHS’ sonic palette. “Path of Existence” explores existence, transformation, and the search for meaning within a constantly changing world, using imagery of decay, extinction, and shifting forms to frame destruction not as an ending, but as part of evolution and renewal. Ultimately, the song turns inward, inviting the listener to confront the darker aspects of the self while reflecting on mortality, transformation, and our connection to the forces constantly reshaping the universe around us.
On “Path Of Existence” MOTHS say:
“Surrounded by cryptic messages and fragmented imagery, the song questions which path to follow while challenging the comfort of remaining oblivious to the realities of existence. Ultimately, “Path of Existence” moves beyond the individual, suggesting that we are not separate from the forces of change around us, but part of the same energy flowing through the universe. It is a reflection on mortality, evolution, and the cyclical nature of existence, where destruction and transformation become the foundation for something new.”
“Path Of Existence” was produced by MOTHS and Emmanuel de León. The track was mixed and mastered by Emmanuel de León. The cover artwork is by Giannis Nakos of Remedy Art Design.
