Memphis May Fire – Broken


When they erupted onto the scene in 2006 as Oh Captain, My Captain, Dallas natives Memphis May Fire made quite the splash with their early releases. Critically, the last couple of efforts have not been received well, though – the band became preachy but still maintained a gritty Metalcore sound, however, the output contained nothing to really awe the audiences.Continue reading

August Burns Red have released a new video clip for the track ‘Identity’, from their album Found In Far Away Places (Fearless). You can see the clip at this link or below:

 

 

Director Drew Russ discusses the making of the clip in a comment:

“This video is a mixed media piece using custom designed illustrations combined with live action footage. All of the outlines were hand drawn (by Mike Cortada) custom for this video. Then, using a light box, outlines were then painted over on watercolor paper, combined digitally and composited into the video.”

 

Having just wrapped up a main stage appearance all summer on on Warped Tour, the band will next be seen on a European tour with Europe / UK tour with Asking Alexandria, Memphis May Fire, and In Hearts Wake.

Audio: Memphis May Fire Stream Acoustic version of Beneath The Skin


Memphis May Fire Unconditional Deluxe Edition cover 2015

Memphis May Fire have released the audio stream of their new track, an acoustic version of their song ‘Beneath The Skin’ from the deluxe edition of their latest album Unconditional (Rise Records), due out this Friday. You can hear the track at this link or below:

‘Beneath The Skin’ is one of four bonus tracks on Unconditional The Deluxe Edition with new songs ‘My Generation’, ‘Stay The Course’ and another acoustic re-imaging; ‘Need To Be’.

Guitarist Kellen McGregor commented on the track:

“It’s always enjoyable to reimagine songs acoustically as we’re primarily a band that writes heavy music with a lot of riffing. ‘Need To Be’ made sense to choose considering it’s already a softer track from “Unconditional” & lends itself nicely to an acoustic interpretation. Reworking ‘Beneath The Skin’ was a fun challenge due to its heavier nature, but the process was very rewarding & it turned out more amazing than we could have possibly imagined.”
