Wiltwither Premiere New Single & Music Video "Front Door Phobia" From Upcoming Debut Album "Pure Ligh"

A video for “Front Door Phobia” surfaced online today, serving as the lead single from Wiltwither’s debut album “Pure Light” and streaming via YouTube and Spotify for you now below. The track features a guest vocal spot from Johnny Booth frontman Andrew Herman, who also makes a cameo appearance in the accompanying music video.

The rising metalcore outfit recently confirmed their signing to Periphery’s label, 3DOT Recordings. Periphery guitarist Misha Mansoor commented on the signing:

“We think Wiltwither is doing something different than most of the bands in their scene and are pushing the limits of heavy music. Their new songs are a complete step up from their previous work, and we can’t wait for everyone to hear them.”

Explain Wiltwither:

“‘Front Door Phobia‘ touches on the graphic nature of modern society. It unapologetically explores concepts of isolation, political unrest, and the ever-growing tally of daily war crimes in a visceral, adrenaline-pumping track. Relentless low end crushes against you as you’re assaulted by panicked vocals and screeching guitars reminding you that every moment spent amongst ‘the public’ may be your last.

The track also features Andrew Herman of Johnny Booth; a truly special moment on the record for us. He and the rest of the Booth guys have helped shape us into who we are both as creatives and people, and it’s nothing short of a pleasure to have him join us on such an important song for our career.”

As for the debut album's music “Pure Light”, drummer/producer Tyler Syphertt offered the following insight:

“We took a lot of steps in order to define who we are musically. Much of my background is in hip-hop, R&B, and jazz, so those elements seep through the record. The influences were all over the place—from Kendrick Lamar to Jesus Molina. We got these slight undertones of retro mid-century futurism by researching classified projects like MK Ultra and other historical events. Instead of just being heavy, there’s a ton of ear candy. We took leaps into new territory.”

Adds frontman Nick Rendelman:

“This record discusses the good, the bad, and the ugly of life. It also shows humans coming together and sharing their experiences, thoughts, and perspectives with one another at a level they had never imagined. If you’re experiencing the record as a whole, I’d love for you to walk away caring about your neighbor a little bit more. For as heavy as it is, the message is to be kinder and more compassionate.”
