After more than a decade of silence, Still Remains are back. The Grand Rapids, Michigan metalcore band – whose Roadrunner Records debut Of Love and Lunacy (2005) helped define the early 2000s metalcore movement – release their long-awaited new EP, Spirit Breaker, on June 12th through Arson Theory. It is the band’s first new music since their 2013 fan-funded full-length Ceasing to Breathe.
Produced and co-written by Lee Albrecht (Hollow Front, Gore, Of Virtue), the five-track EP is the band’s most personal and emotional record to date, both sonically and lyrically. The cover art comes from Kevin Moore / Mind Reader Inc (2026 Juno Award Winner, Album Artwork of the Year: Spiritbox – Tsunami Sea). Fans can pick it up on limited edition vinyl, CD, digital download or play via streaming.
Frontman T. J. Miller comments, “For this record we tried to stay true to the sound that our fans have grown to love, but also evolve a bit and add some more modern influences into our sound. We wanted this to sound like an updated version of the classic Still Remains sound, and I think we pulled it off. This is easily the most personal, and emotional record we’ve done from a lyrical standpoint.”
The lead single, “The Wound And The Weapon,” features a guest appearance from Guy Kozowyk of The Red Chord and marked the band’s first new music in over twelve years. Its official video – watch here – was directed by Dave Prindle.
