Miss May I Are ‘Unconquered’ on First New Song in Five Years
Miss May I will soon embark on a tour as direct support for All That Remains, and in advance of the U.S. run, they've just dished out a music video for "Unconquered," their first new song in five years.
The last we heard from the metalcore faithful was 2017's Shadows Inside, the group's sixth full length that yielded new set list fixtures in "Lost In the Grey," "Swallow Your Teeth," "Under Fire" and the title track.
"Unconquered" brings dense atmospheric touches intertwined with push-pull rhythmic dynamics, melodic lead guitar playing and an uplifting, self-empowering clean-sung refrain.
Speaking about the song's lyrical message, vocalist Levi Benton said, "We as well as everyone else went through the wringer the last couple of years. Some of us worse than others and even more of us finding ourselves in the darkest places we never thought we’d end up. After that experience and making it out — it felt as if a battle had been won. That’s what 'Unconquered' is all about."
Watch the music video for the newest track by Miss May I below and head here to see where they're stopping on All That Remains' headlining 15th anniversary tour for their breakthrough album, The Fall of Ideals. Both Varials and Tallah will appear as additional special guests as well.
Miss May I, "Unconquered" Lyrics
If it’s us vs the world
Then I will remain
The last man standing
So bring on the painUnconquered
Unconquered
Unconquered
UnconqueredI walk alone through a crowd of eyes
I see a vision of red, terrified
It goes from bad to worse
If every blessing is a curse
Then how will I survive, I surviveThe walls are closing in
What’s on the other side yea
It’s been so long
since I’ve felt alive felt alive yeaMaybe
I’m the only one who can save me
From the monster I’ve become
Lately
All these ghosts still chase me
And there’s nowhere left to runBack from the dead
Unholy spirits black out the sun
How could it end like this?
Staring down the barrel of a loaded gunSo heavy
The world around me
So heavy
Can’t let it crush meMaybe
I’m the only one who can save me
From the monster I’ve become
Lately
All these ghosts still chase me
And there’s nowhere left to runThe only way out is through
And the sun that stops the flood
Is still inside of youPull the noose from your neck and rise
Fear no longer
The soul is stronger(Unconquered)
If it’s us vs the world
(Unconquered)
Then I will remain
(Unconquered)
The last man standing
(Unconquered)
So bring on the painThis life is mine for the taking
So bring on the pain
This life is mine for the taking
And I will remainMaybe
I’m the only one who could save me
From the monster I’ve become
Lately
All these ghosts still chase me
And there’s nowhere left to runThe only way out is through
And the sun that stops the flood
Is still inside of you
