Memphis May Fire spent much of 2024 dropping brand new singles, each of which was more incendiary than the next. Today, they are thrilled to announce their upcoming album SHAPESHIFTER, which arrives March 28 via longtime label Rise Records and is now available for pre-order.
The band has also shared the video for the title track.
The track and the album take a long, hard look at what lies beneath. Singer Matty Mullins shares more:
“‘Shapeshifter’ reflects the struggle of wrestling with identities and the need to confront the masks we wear.”
“This track, and the entire album, is about exposing those parts of ourselves we often keep hidden,” he adds. “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.”
MMF have also announced a headline tour for Spring 2025, with support from Caskets, Wind Walkers, and Elijah. The tour kicks off April 16 in Little Rock and runs through May 17 in Atlanta. It includes appearances at several key spring festivals, such as Sonic Temple and Welcome to Rockville. All dates are below.
