Based out of Arlington, Texas and featuring the talents of Josiah Lyle (vocals), Tanner Allen (guitar), Mike Butler (guitar), Colton Bartholet (bass), and Garrett Metzger (drums), Mouth of the South specialize in blistering metalcore with faith-based message. Formed in 2007, the band issued a handful of self-released albums and underwent numerous personnel changes before settling on its core lineup. In 2013 they inked a deal with Facedown Records, the home of like-minded acts such as War of Ages, For Today, Hope for the Dying, Gideon, and Colossus, and released their full length debut for the label, Struggle Well, the following year. ~ James Christopher Monger
