Today, Moths, the Progressive Metal unit hailing from San Juan, Puerto Rico, are excited to announce a full US tour in support of their new album, “Septem,” due out on August 1st. The tour will kick off on July 31st in Orlando, FL at Will’s Pub and concludes at the prestigious Somergloom Festival on August 9th in Someville, MA.
Bassist Weslie Negrón comments on the tour:
We’re thrilled to be heading back to the U.S. for the third time, especially with the chance to play in some cities we’ve never been to before, places we’ve been eager to visit for a while. We’re particularly excited to play in Florida for the first time and to finally make it to Atlanta. This tour is also a celebration of the release of our new album ‘Septem,’ which we plan to perform at select dates along the way.
Weslie continues:
At the same time, we’re looking forward to returning to some of our favorite cities like Asheville, Baltimore, Philadelphia, and New York, these places have always shown us a lot of love and support. We’re also honored to be closing out the tour at Somergloom Festival, sharing the stage with legends like SUMAC, as well as Chepang, Mourne, and many other incredible bands from the New England scene. It’s always a pleasure to play there, we’ve been warmly welcomed in the past, and we’re excited to bring a taste of Puerto Rico to the festival. This will be our biggest U.S. crowd to date, and we can’t wait to bring that energy to Somergloom and every stop on the tour.

Watch the previously released music video for “Wrath” HERE
Moths‘ upcoming album, “Septem,’ is a visceral journey through the Seven Deadly Sins, with each track embodying a facet of indulgence, obsession, and self-destruction—from the corrosive jealousy of “Envy” to the insatiable hunger of “Gluttony” and the rage of “Wrath.” The album plunges listeners into a dark, immersive experience where desire spirals into chaos.
Diving deeper into heavier territory, Moths fuse elements of Death and Black Metal with their signature blend of Progressive, Psychedelic, Doom, and Stoner Metal, crafting a sound that’s both aggressive and Atmospheric.
“Septem” was recorded in just five days at Romaphonic Studios in Buenos Aires, capturing the raw energy and inspiration of the setting. It also marks the debut of vocalist Mariel Viruet, whose range spans from haunting melodies to visceral screams.
The album was mixed by Walter Chacón (Los Fabulosos Cadillacs) and mastered by Jens Bogren (Opeth, Katatonia, Between the Buried and Me) at Fascination Street Studios in Sweden.
On the album, Weslie Negrón reflects:
‘Septem’ is our most ambitious effort to date. From traveling to another country to record it, to the addition of a new vocalist, and creating it all amidst a world in turmoil—it’s incredibly rewarding to finally see it out there. This album contains some of my favorite songs we’ve ever written as a band. You can feel our chemistry in these tracks, how we came together to make them happen, without any boundaries or ‘rules’ about how songs should be written. It’s an intriguing, unpredictable, and unconventional album, one that I’m sure will feel like a fresh sound to everyone who hears it.
