Photos by Raegan Carter – Like Moths to Flames have carved out a commanding presence in the modern metalcore scene with their blend of emotional intensity, technical precision, and unrelenting heaviness. Formed in Columbus, Ohio in 2010, the band—led by vocalist Chris Roetter—quickly gained attention with their debut album When We Don’t Exist. Their early sound paired blistering breakdowns with soaring choruses and lyrics fueled by inner conflict, heartbreak, and personal turmoil, helping them stand out in a crowded genre and build a devoted fanbase worldwide.
Over the years, Like Moths to Flames have continued sharpening their sound, evolving into a more mature and sonically complex band without losing their signature aggression. Later releases such as Dark Divine and No Eternity in Goldpushed their songwriting into darker, more dynamic territory, showcasing intricate guitar work and Roetter’s ever-strengthening vocal range. Known for high-energy live performances and brutally honest lyricism, Like Moths to Flames remain a driving force in metalcore, consistently delivering music that hits as hard emotionally as it does sonically.
