Metalcore band Miss May I has been teasing their new album, Shadows Inside for a couple weeks now and they have officially announced their sixth album. The band also released a music video for the lead single from the album, “Lost in the Grey.” The album is now up for pre-order on iTunes. This will be the band’s first release since leaving Rise Records to join the new label, Sharptone Records. Shadows Inside will be released on June 2nd, just shy of two years after the band’s previous album, Deathless, which was released in August of 2015.
Singer Levi Benton talked to Loudwire, who premiered the video, about the song and video:
Our new video for ‘Lost In The Grey’ was by far the most extreme video we have ever done! The shoot involved an entire forest landscape set, live action volatile weather elements and rodents in mouths. We have never had a video like this before. The vibe for the song is really captured well and sets a great image not only for the song, but the record as a whole. Shadows Inside is the most honest record we have ever created and a big part of that was just having the freedom and time to put everything we had into it.”
He continues, “This is a great first track to release to the mass as it represents the effort it takes to get out of the complacent and stale life people live. The song is about finding that hope and drive to push you to a new and better life. The lion has always represented hope and ambition and now with this video it’s physical and represented as a mask that one needs to show them there is a better life for everyone, if you push for it.
Miss May I will be embarking on the “Shadows Inside Tour” in May. The tour will be going through Canada with Obey the Brave and Auras, while the US run features Upon A Burning Body, Kublai Khan, and Currents. Track listing and tour dates can be found below.
