MEMPHIS MAY FIRE DROP VIDEO FOR ANOTHER BANGER WITH “DEATH INSIDE” — WATCH
Last month, MEMPHIS MAY FIRE —Matty Mullins (vocals), Kellen McGregor (guitar), Cory Elder (bass), and Jake Garland (drums) — returned to action with the explosive anthem “Blood & Water.” The crackling track quickly accumulated 5.5 million global streams in five weeks and over a million views on the video while cruising onto the SiriusXM Octane airwaves. Revolver called it a “return to form” and noted that the song boasted an “absurdly melodic lead lick that cuts through the chugging breakdowns like a hot knife on butter.”
Well, Memphis May Fire aren’t stopping there.
In fact, the band is only just getting started. MMF have just dropped the video for “Death Inside,” another new song. The track is a banger in which they explore some fresh sonic territory, while the visual finds the band in performance mode. After a year without live concerts, the video is an effective and in-your-face reminder of the band’s live energy and presence.
Watch it here.
“‘Death Inside’ is a new flavor for MMF,” Mullins explains. “I wanted to get out of my comfort zone with the vocals on this one and ended up discovering a sound that I think really caters to the concept. The song is about fear of death and the choice to either let it consume you or live life to the fullest.
