Hailing from the heavy-music mecca of Columbus, Ohio, Like Moths to Flames have been one of the metalcore scene’s leading bands since debuting with 2012’s When We Don’t Exist. Chalk this up to their penchant for stinging riffs and potent blast beats, as well as the presence of frontman Chris Roetter, who veers seamlessly between throat-shredding vocals and melodic clean singing. Like Moths to Flames stand out from the bruising pack by putting a more dynamic spin on metalcore’s aggression, via elements such as electronic programming (“New Plagues”) and muscular hard-rock hooks (“Empty the Same”).
