Memphis May Fire: "I've never regretted a moment of vulnerability"
If you were to ask any band if there are any regrets or missteps in their career, chances are, most would say no. Not Matty Mullins.

For their seventh album, though, Memphis May Fire are decidedly back on track. For a while, things deviated from the original plan: outside factors muddied the waters, stopping Matty, guitarist Kellen McGregor, drummer Cory Elders and bassist Jake Garland from being able to focus on what made Memphis so appealing in that dark and dingy world of metalcore in the first place.
"I'd be lying if I said differently," Matty shrugs with an accepting grin. "There are some of our records I can't even go back and listen to, but I put myself in the mindset that I was in when we were making them, and mental health takes a toll on every season of life," he says.
"You're in the grind, trying to be on tour and make a record, and you've got all these voices saying 'do this' or 'I wish you were more like this' or 'I wish you would try this' or 'you're not doing this enough'. You just get so wrapped up in all of it."
