MEMPHIS MAY FIRE — Matty Mullins (vocals),Kellen McGregor (guitar),Cory Elder (bass) and Jake Garland (drums) — spent much of 2024 dropping brand new singles, each of which was more incendiary than the next. Now they are thrilled to announce their upcoming album “Shapeshifter”, which arrives March 28 via longtime label Rise Records. The band has also shared the video for the title track. Watch it below.
The song and the album take a long, hard look at what lies beneath.
“‘Shapeshifter’ reflects the struggle of wrestling with identities and the need to confront the masks we wear,” says Mullins. “This track, and the entire album, is about exposing those parts of ourselves we often keep hidden. It’s a journey through the layers of deception, self-reflection, and the struggle to find what’s genuine in a world full of pretense. We wanted ‘Shapeshifter’ to embody that feeling of losing and finding yourself, over and over, until you finally see what’s real.”
“Shapeshifter” track listing:
01. Chaotic
02. Infection
03. Overdose
04. Paralyzed
05. Hell Is Empty
06. Necessary Evil
07. The Other Side
08. Shapeshifter
09. Versus
10. Love Is War
