Miss May I announce new album and share new video single 'Sanctuary' • GRIMM Gent

MISS MAY I — Levi Benton [vocals], Jerod Boyd [drums], Ryan Neff [bass], and Elisha Mullins [guitar ] — are thrilled to announce their upcoming new album “NO PLACE FOR ME”, which arrives October 2 via Solid State Records. Pre-order it here.

The band also shared the video for the new single “Sanctuary.” Watch it here.

“‘Sanctuary’ is a song about wanting to feel safe and realizing you’re the one making that impossible,” shares Benton. “It’s a cycle I’ve struggled with my whole life and I think a lot of people know exactly what that feels like.”

Regarding the album, the singer reveals it was a truly cathartic process to write and record it, saying, “No Place For Me is everything I’ve felt for a long time but never had the words for. Writing it taught me who I actually am even when that hurt to look at. It’s a full journey: Where it started, what I discovered, and where I am today.”

These are the tentpole concepts of the album and are why fans are going to connect with it on a level so deep, it touches marrow.

Sanctuary
Portrait of Pain
Hand Me A Halo
Pray for Silence
Death Threat

Instead of letting doubts, anxiety, negativity, and intrusive thoughts run wild, Miss May I will catch and turn even the most volatile feelings into airtight anthems. The Ohio-bred quartet ground extreme emotions in a taut framework of technically adroit riffing, hardcore grooves, and unforgettable melodies. The band has expertly honed an uncanny ability to make sense of life on tape. That’s why fans worldwide have leaned on the group’s music since their emergence in 2007. Following years of grinding, 2012’s At Heart marked a breakthrough moment for the group when it bowed at #32 on the Billboard 200. Their impact only expanded with Deathless [2015] and Shadows Inside [2017], which both debuted in the Top 10 of the Billboard Top Independent Albums Chart and Top Rock Albums Chart. In 2022, Curse Of Existence received widespread critical acclaim from the likes of Alternative Press who raved: “Miss May I have penned one of their strongest records yet.” V13 hailed it as “packed full of emotion and heartfelt rage,” and Outburn marveled at “their fast, aggressive, thrashy metalcore mixed with powerful lyrics.” Along the way, they generated hundreds of millions of streams and toured with everyone from Killswitch Engage and Parkway Drive to Motionless In White. In 2026, the collective continue to strike a deep chord with their eighth full-length offering and Solid State debut LP, No Place For Me.
