Vocalist Jordan West found his mother in the bathroom after she suffered a heart attack.

My mum was a huge character, a 5ft4″ Glaswegian firecracker, who taught me and most other people she ever met how to connect their lives and fulfil their potential. She was deeply flawed, but unbelievably charismatic and amazing. She died after long period of fighting diabetes and high blood pressure. ‘Balls out of the Bath’ became about her and more importantly about the time that she died. I went to check on her one night and found her on the floor in the toilet.”

What can be considered as an elegy, an ode to Jordan’s mother, Mary – ‘Balls out of the Bath’ is a juxtaposition between balls to the wall beefy riffs combined with an emotive lyrical lament complete with piano section that serves as an outlet for grief, reflection, and healing.

Jordan continues to explain the cause of his mother’s death and how he has inherited some of her personality traits that inspire him to live his life in a positive way.

“High blood pressure makes the heart work really hard and thus, the muscle grows. At some point, the muscle grows so big that it completely stops blood flow, and standing up quickly, particularly after being on the toilet or lying in bed, causes a rise in pressure and can be the straw that broke the camel’s back as such… its what happened to Elvis! So the song eventually became about that, but more importantly the hours and days that followed.

I wanted to give a nod to the amazing skills my mum left with me, particularly with the lines “in the dark she turned the light on’, as she was always able to make me see things in a positive light when things were hard or I had hit a wall, and the ‘just smile and breathe’ line was something she always used to say when facing challenges or having to deal with idiots!”

Moriaty have now revealed the artwork and track list for ‘The Die is Cast’ set for October 23rd 2020 release date.
