Memphis May Fire aren’t here to play nice — and on their forthcoming album Broken, they aren’t pretending to have it all figured out either. The Texas metalcore mainstays have officially announced their new full-length, due November 16 via Rise Records, and they’ve kicked the doors in with lead single “The Old Me.”

If you came looking for posturing and chest-thumping, keep walking. “The Old Me” is the kind of song that hits like a confession booth at 3 a.m. Frontman Matty Mullins doesn’t dress it up: the track is a head-on collision with his own anxiety and depression, and he’s letting the wreckage show.

“‘The Old Me’ is about my struggle with anxiety and depression,” Mullins said of the song. “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.”

That’s heavy stuff, and the song carries the weight. Press play and hear it for yourself: https://youtu.be/5Py-W946JLo

Broken clocks in at 10 tracks, and based on the titles alone — “Sell My Soul,” “Heavy Is the Weight,” “Mark My Words,” “Live Another Day” — it sounds like Mullins and company are leaning all the way into the catharsis this time around. The full tracklist runs: “The Old Me,” “Watch Out,” “Sell My Soul,” “Who I Am,” “Heavy Is the Weight,” “Over It,” “Fool,” “Mark My Words,” “You and Me,” and “Live Another Day.”

Pre-orders are live now, but the real treat for fans is the fall run with Atreyu and Ice Nine Kills — a lineup that’s basically a stacked playlist come to life. The tour kicks off November 9 in Phoenix at The Van Buren and crashes through 28 cities before wrapping December 13 at the House of Blues in Anaheim. Notable stops include Houston’s House of Blues (11/13), Atlanta’s Buckhead Theatre (11/19), New York’s Gramercy Theatre (11/27), Chicago’s House of Blues (12/2), and San Francisco’s Fillmore (12/11). There’s also a headlining MMF show with Ice Nine Kills on 11/29 at The Foundry in Lakewood, OH for the diehards.

Bottom line: Broken sounds like the album Memphis May Fire needed to make, and “The Old Me” is the kind of opening salvo that earns your attention without begging for it. Mark your calendar for November 16, grab a pre-order, and if they’re rolling through your town this fall, do yourself a favor and go.

Listen to “The Old Me” now and pre-order Broken before it drops on November 16.
