Ohio-based metalcore favorites, Miss May I, make a loud return with their latest song release, “Pray For Silence”. The newest single bursts onto the scene with a fierce, vocally charged anthem that’s impossible to ignore. Via Solid State Records, the new song release is anchored by a hook-laden chorus that sticks from the first listen. The track unleashes punishing guitar riffs and thunderous breakdowns that stay true to the band’s metalcore roots. At the same time, subtle modern touches give the song a fresh edge, signaling the beginning of an exciting new chapter for the band.
Lyrically and thematically, “Pray For Silence” explores the emotional toll of living in an increasingly chaotic and uncertain world. The track captures a deep yearning for peace, even if only momentary, in the midst of mental and emotional noise. With its intense delivery and emotionally charged atmosphere, the song taps into a shared sense of exhaustion and urgency, resonating with anyone seeking calm amid the storm.
Miss May I shares,
"I don't think we could have chosen a more honest and heartfelt song for our first release as the new lineup than 'Pray For Silence,'" the band offers. "As life grows heavier and the world feels like it's at a breaking point, this song captures something we all crave — some peace, even just for a moment."
It’s fitting timing that, almost exactly a year after joining the Solid State Records roster, Miss May I is continuing their momentum with new music. Last August, they marked the occasion by reintroducing fans to their roots with the Apologies Are for the Weak (Re-Recorded 15th Anniversary Edition), a bold, full-album re-recording of their beloved debut. The release featured guest appearances on every track, including standout contributions from Jake Luhrs (August Burns Red), Brandan Schieppati (Bleeding Through), Scott Lewis (Carnifex), and more. A true celebration of the band's legacy and lasting impact on the metalcore scene. Miss May I is back and better than ever.
Looking ahead, Miss May I fans have even more to be excited about. The band is currently working on a brand new album, set for release in 2026. While full details are still under wraps, “Pray For Silence” offers a powerful first glimpse into the direction of their next chapter. With this track setting the tone, the upcoming album is shaping up to be one of their most dynamic and emotionally resonant releases yet
Miss May I is currently on the road on an exciting tour schedule as direct support for fellow metalcore veterans Blessthefall. The band is also set to appear at Warped Tour in Orlando this November. See all upcoming tour dates below.
