It's a captivating performance that demands your attention and will have you dissecting the lyrics and trying to master the flow in no time.
‘Toxicity’ is a song about addiction in all its forms, from the grip of substance abuse to the insidious hold of our modern technological obsessions. It's a theme that resonates deeply in today's world, and Modus Fire tackle it with a potent blend of energy and introspection.
This single is just a taste of what's to come from Modus Fire's upcoming debut album, ‘The Weary & The Wise’, slated for release in June 2025. If ‘Toxicity’ is anything to go by, we're in for a wild ride. The band themselves have hinted at some "really wild new sounds," and after almost two years of crafting this album, anticipation is running high.
With ‘Toxicity’, Modus Fire have delivered an addictive, danceable anthem that's sure to ignite mosh pits and festival crowds alike. This is a band with the chops, the message, and the energy to take their unique brand of prog-punk to the next level. So, crank up the volume, get ready to skank, and prepare to be blown away by Modus Fire.
