Metal supergroup Hellyeah have released a video for ‘Moth‘ off their recently released album ‘Blood for Blood‘.
The video and song itself don’t really pull away as anything special and but still fit nicely into the alternative metal genre. Drummer Vinnie Paul Abbott had a bit to say about the track:
“It’s in different time signature. It’s in 6/8. I don’t think I’ve ever ventured onto anything in HELLYEAH with 6/8. It was a different mood.
“I remember when I first played the demo for Kevin , just the music, he was, like, ‘Man, there’s something really special there.’ It’s really dark but it’s also beautiful. That was the first song Chad felt drawn to musically. He wrote the lyrics, sang the words to that song first. That was an odd choice even by Kevin. He was, like, ‘Man, I thought for sure he was going to dig into the real heavy stuff out of the chute,’ and he really felt drawn to that song.”
“It’s a song basically about — there are so many things in life that you know are wrong and you’re going to get burned, but you have to give it a try, whether it’s relationships, jobs, this, that or another. It’s like a moth, it sees that flame and it’s drawn to it even though it’s made out of paper and he’s going to get torched when he gets there. That’s kind of what the song is all about.”
