Interview with Memphis May Fire (Matty Returns!)
\u26a1\ufe0fOur first IN PERSON interview since March 2020! \u26a1\ufe0f
We had the pleasure of interviewing Matty Mullins of Memphis May Fire over Zoom video!
Memphis May Fire makes anthems for the broken. The four-piece rock band channel a generation\u2019s worth of angst, frustration, and pain, with a focused blend of gigantic melodic hooks and crushing aggression. Even after topping Billboard\u2019s Hard Music Albums chart and breaking into radio\u2019s Active Rock Top 20, Memphis May Fire refuses to sacrifice who they are or the people who made them. In fact, Remade in Misery, their seventh full-length album, is the heaviest Memphis May Fire record yet.
It is the first Memphis May Fire album to be both produced and mixed by Kellen McGregor, the band\u2019s guitarist who co-founded the group roughly 15 years ago. The longtime rhythm section of bassist Cory Elder and drummer Jake Garland inject the songs with infinite depth and focus. Cameron Mizell, who coproduced 2014 fan-favorite Unconditional with McGregor, produced Matty\u2019s vocals.
Mullins enlisted his friend Cody Quistad, guitarist and clean vocalist for the band Wage War, during part of the writing process. Fire From The Gods singer AJ Channer guests on \u201cOnly Human.\u201d At the heart of any collaboration is the Memphis May Fire mission: to connect with the brokenhearted.
The guys are family to the million-plus fans who follow Memphis May Fire on social media, revered by the people who discovered their early albums in 2009 and 2011; those who made Challenger (2012) the biggest selling debut in the history of Rise Records at the time; and everyone who championed their music since. Unconditional debuted at Number One on Billboard\u2019s Rock, Independent, and Hard Music charts. In 2016, This Light I Hold made inroads into radio while rooted in heaviness. Boasting the singles \u201cThe Old Me,\u201d \u201cLive Another Day,\u201d and \u201cHeavy is the Weight,\u201d Broken was a distillation of what the band does creatively, with the group\u2019s signature passion and fearless genre-bending.
Remade in Misery is the sum total of all that\u2019s come before with a forceful charge into the future.
