The sound and fury of MISS MAY I is deeply embedded in the hearts and minds of a legion of fans. These are people from different backgrounds, of different ages, with diverse life experience, who all come together and connect with MISS MAY I‘s combination of brutal proficiency and impassioned delivery. The five-piece powerhouse, from the fertile metalcore grounds of America‘s heartland, have become an integral part of the worldwide heavy music community, transcending boundaries and limitations, galvanizing crowds, and energizing each person they encounter.
This aforementioned statement is most evident in their new music video for “Under Fire,” which can be viewed now at the link below. The track is the aggressive opening to their widely acclaimed latest offering, Shadows Inside, on SharpTone Records.
Levi Benton (vocals) states: “Traveling to South East Asia honestly changed my life. The culture, the people, the religions and the atmosphere really made me see the world in a whole new way. I cant believe this chaotic tour with 21 flights in 20 days made such a badass video. Some of these shows were the biggest Miss May I headlining shows in our career. We have always wanted to do a music video showing fans the behind the scenes part of our lives and who we are not on stage. I am so thankful we get to travel to so many exotic new places and share our journey with the world! We cant wait to go back.”
Shadows Inside doubles as monster riff-fest and forcefully vocal driven statement shaped by changes both within and without. Make no mistake this isn‘t an about-face album full of contrived sentiment or glossy emptiness. It‘s a record where the band challenged each other to work from outside of their comfort zone, to really hone in on what makes MISS MAY I vital, and deliver something fully authentic and raw.
