Metalcore giants LIKE MOTHS TO FLAMES have unleashed two brand new singles today – BASILISK’ and INHERIT THE TRAGEDY.’

I think we all tend to get stuck in letting our struggles become our identity. ‘Inherit the Tragedy’ follows the more classic themes that the band has offered out in the past. We’ve never been a stranger to writing songs focused on cutting the chord from someone who becomes dead weight.”
