Memphis May Fire has been steadily releasing new music over the last few months, leading up to an announcement that came late last week.
The group has announced the release date and title of their next studio album, and have released another new single to coincide with the announcement. The new track “Make Believe” taps into the uncertainty that comes with questioning one’s identity, and is filled with a sense of urgency. Vocalist Matty Mullens spoke on the new single.
“Our seventh single has arrived and it’s one of my favorite MMF tunes of all time. ‘Make Believe’ feels significantly different from the rest of the singles and it offers a whole new flavor that our fans haven’t heard from us before. The song is about enduring so much pain that you feel like you are losing your grip on reality, questioning everything you’ve ever known, and starting to wonder if life is just a simulation.”
The music video for “Make Believe” features some matrix-esque visuals that appear to deal with the topics of being plugged in 24/7, thus working in tandem with the track’s theme of questioning reality. Check out the music video below.
As for Memphis May Fire’s new album, the band has confirmed it will be titled Remade in Misery and it’s now set for a June 3 release through Rise Records. Vocalist Matty Mullins also spoke on the recording process.
“The last nine months have been such a refreshing journey for us. We knew that releasing singles for this long, without any news of an upcoming album, would come with challenges, but we couldn’t be happier with the outcome. We’re finally at the point of announcing the entire body of work, and I can genuinely say we are just as excited now as the day the first single dropped. Remade in Misery is undoubtedly a new season for MMF. We have truly rediscovered who we are as a band through these songs, and we can’t wait to bring them to life on upcoming tours.”
The new album is available for pre-order now, and the full tracklisting can bee seen below. Memphis May Fire will be hitting the road with Dance Gavin Dance, Volumes, and Moon Tooth in the spring, and they will be stopping through The Rave in Milwaukee on May 7th.
