Atlanta power trio Whores. are streaming the track “Mental Illness As Mating Ritual”, featured on their new LP, Gold, out on October 28th via Entertainment One (eOne), the first for their new label home.

“’Mental Illness As Mating Ritual’ is a super personal song," says frontman and guitarist Christian Lembach. "It's sort of about four different things: parallel universes, health care, circuses and laundry. Everyone experiences suffering at some point, and some people hurt so much and for so long that a healthy and fulfilling life can feel like it's make-believe."

"Mental Illness As Mating Ritual" is available for streaming and as an iTunes Instant Gratification download, meaning that fans who preorder the record will receive the song instantly.

The band’s debut LP was recorded at Parhelion Studios with producer Ryan Boesch (Helmet, Fu Manchu, Melvins). The artwork for Gold was created by Patrick Copeland.
