Watch Memphis May Fire frontman Matty Mullins battle himself in ‘The Old Me’

Over a month after treating fans to the first single off their forthcoming new album, Memphis May Fire have returned with the tune’s music video. On Wednesday (Nov. 7), the Texas-founded band unleashed the dark and gritty clip for their track, “The Old Me.” The video, which exclusively premiere on Revolver, finds frontman Matty Mullins fighting with himself as he tries to find a way back to his old self.

“The ‘Me vs. Me’ concept of this video represents my inner battle with anxiety and depression,” explains Mullins. “[It’s] the two versions of myself that are constantly at war with each other.”

“[I’m] trying to remember what life was like before I lived with the symptoms. Ultimately hoping to one day become that person — ‘The Old Me’ again.”

Watch the three-minute, Caleb Mallery-directed clip above.

“The Old Me” is Memphis May Fire’s lead single off their upcoming new album, Broken. Broken, the act’s sixth studio album, is due out Nov. 16 through Rise Records. Pre-orders for the record are currently available on the band’s website. Broken is the follow-up to the band’s 2016 release, This Light I Hold.

In support of the upcoming album’s release, the act previously announced plans to embark on a fall time tour during the months of November and December. The four-piece will act as the direct supporting act for Atreyu during their upcoming North American run.

Memphis May Fire announce ‘Broken,’ drop new single

With a couple of months left before they hit the North American touring circuit, Memphis May Fire have just confirmed that fans will have some new tunes to jam to during those gigs. On Friday (Sept. 21), the Texas-founded band announced plans to release their sixth studio album in the fall. Titled Broken, the new record is due out Nov. 16 through Rise Records. Pre-orders for the new album are currently available on the band’s website.

Broken is the follow-up to the group’s 2016 release, This Light I Hold.

In conjunction with the new album announcement, the band released the record’s lead single; the hard-hitting “The Old Me.”

In a press statement, frontman Matty Mullins describes the inspiration behind the new track. As it turns out, the song was primarily inspired by the singer’s struggle with anxiety and depression and how he wishes to one day return to the person he used to be before his symptoms began to manifest.

“‘The Old Me’ is about my struggle with anxiety and depression,” Mullins’ letter begins.

“What feels like a war between good and evil, loathing the person I become mentally when it consumes me, and trying to remember what life was like before I lived with the symptoms. Ultimately hoping to one day become that person —’The Old Me’— again.”

Black Veil Brides Frontman Calls Out Heckler

We know that there are times when some of our favorite bands decided to head out on tour with certain bands that we can do without. It’s just part of the music world.

Lately, with social media and people trying to push the limit, “fans” have begun to voice their distaste for those bands and some of band members have had enough of it which leads us to what happened during yesterday’s Black Veil Brides’ show in Vancouver.

The band, who are currently on tour with Memphis May Fire, were on stage when some dude in the audience started heckling them. After having enough, frontman Andy Biersack stopped the show to berate the guy, who kept screaming for Memphis May Fire to return.

In the two videos posted below, You can see Biersack yell the guy, call him out, throw the microphone at him to speak his mind, and then launch at the crowd.

Yeah, insane.

While we do not agree with either side, if the guy did not want to see Black Veil Brides, he should have just left the show after Memphis May Fire instead of sticking around.

What did he think was going to happen, MMF was going to come back on stage just to appease him? Come on, dude, get real.

Watch Yellowcard’s ‘Lift A Sail’ Trailer

Yellowcard might have lost the surprise after all the information about their upcoming album was leaked online, but like they say, the show must go on.

When the information about their upcoming new album, Lift a Sail was leaked, the band revealed on Twitter that they had planned to reveal all the information, themselves, in two weeks’ time (which would have been this week). Like they said, “the internet decided otherwise.”

One thing the band did manage to keep underwraps, even with all the exposed information, was the official trailer for the upcoming record. The trailer features not only tons of footage from their time on this year’s Vans Warped Tour, it also features what sounds like a new song, even though a title has not been given.

The trailer can be seen below.

Lift A Sail is set to be released in September, though the trailer says Fall 2014, through Razor & Tie Records. Don’t forget that Yellowcard will be hitting the road with Emarosa and Memphis May Fire later on this year. The tour will begin on October 16 in Las Vegas and will wrap up (according to the tour schedule) on November 16 in San Francisco.

Check out the full co-headlining tour dates here.
