Memphis May Fire came up out of Denton, Texas, in 2006, and they have spent the years since proving that metalcore can be a long game. The lineup now is Matty Mullins on lead vocals, Kellen McGregor on lead guitar, Cory Elder on bass and Jake Garland on drums, and they are signed to Rise Records. Eight studio albums and two EPs in, they can point to Unconditional, their fourth, which debuted at number 4 on the Billboard 200 and at the top of the Alternative Albums chart.
The later records keep one foot in the pit and the other on the radio. Broken, from 2018, delivered "Heavy Is the Weight", its heaviness buffed up into a big, clean chorus, and Remade in Misery came back in 2022 with "Blood & Water", a track that hangs a stadium-sized hook on riffs with a distinct nu-metal bounce.
