Miss May I, known for their brutal proficiency and impassioned delivery, has been a staple in the metalcore scene for years. Their sound resonates with fans from all walks of life, bringing together a diverse community united by their love for heavy music. The band’s journey from the heartland of America to the global stage has been nothing short of remarkable, and this anniversary edition is a testament to their enduring legacy.

Brian Wille from Currents) "Not Our Tomorrow" (Feat. Brandan Schieppati from Bleeding Through) "Arms Of A Messiah" (Feat. Scott Lewis From Carnifex) "Apologies Are For The Weak" (Feat.

The re-recorded Apologies Are for the Weak features an impressive lineup of guest artists, including Jake Luhrs of August Burns Red, Brandan Schieppati of Bleeding Through, and Scott Lewis of Carnifex, among others. Each track has been given a new lease on life, with these collaborations adding a fresh dimension to the already powerful songs.
One of the standout tracks from the anniversary edition is 'Architect,' featuring Currents. This song holds a special place in the hearts of Miss May I, as it was one of the first they ever wrote. “This was one of the first songs we ever wrote as a band and it’s very special to us,” the band shared. “It predates this album and can be found on our first demos. Having [singer] Brian [Wille] on this record is very special because we feel like Currents are our little brothers having taken them out on some of their first tours around the world and watching them grow into the juggernauts they are today. Brian specifically requested to do this track as it was one of his favorites when it was originally released. We are so happy to have him put his spin on it and join us for this celebration.”
In conjunction with the album release, Miss May I has also launched a throwback website, adding a nostalgic touch to the celebration. The band is gearing up for a headline tour this fall, where they will perform Apologies Are for the Weak in its entirety. This tour promises to be a thrilling experience for fans, old and new, as they get to witness the band’s evolution and relive the magic of their early days.
Miss May I’s influence in the metalcore community is undeniable. Their music has transcended boundaries, galvanizing crowds and energizing each person they encounter. As they celebrate 15 years of savage metalcore and soaring melodic refrains, the band is poised for a career renaissance. With their unmistakable power, road-hardened experience, and unrelenting spirit, Miss May I continues to be a force to be reckoned with in the heavy music scene.
