Levi Benton speaks to “Unconquered” (Produced by Grammy Awarded Will Putney (A Day To Remember, Body Count, Every Time I Die, The Amity Affliction,) – “We as well as everyone else went through the ringer 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.”

About Miss May I:
The men ofMISS MAY Iwere high school students when they picked up the New Wave Of American Heavy Metal torch set ablaze by bands like Killswitch Engage, Lamb Of God, and All That Remains. Arguably the most prolific group in the Warped Tour-era of the vibrant metalcore scene, the Ohio boys cranked out a breathtakingsixalbums from 2009 to 2017, some of them just a year apart.
They delivered unforgettable performances on global tours, including runs with Five Finger Death Punch, Pierce The Veil, Asking Alexandria, August Burns Red, and Gwar. A generation of fans who connected to the band’s blend of pummeling chaos, irrefutable breakdowns, and singalong choruses cherishMISS MAY I. The band perfected its style from early outbursts through recent works likeRise of the Lion(2014) andDeathless(2015).“Shadows Inside”(23 million streams on Spotify alone),“Hey Mister,”“I.H.E.,” “Forgive and Forget,” “Relentless Chaos,”and otherMMIstaples became anthems.
Revolver Magazineincluded the band’s debut in a 2021 article titled “10 Essential Metalcore Albums from 2009: The Year Everything Changed,” alongside classics from Architects and We Came As Romans. As early as 2010,Alternative Press(who later putMISS MAY Ion the cover) praised their “mix of catchy, Swedish-style riffs and mosh pit-ready breakdowns.”APsingled outBenton’s “convincingly enraged roar,” bassistRyan Neff’s clean vocals, and the “blazing two-guitar team” ofB.J. SteadandJustin Aufdenkampe, whose riffage was worthy of Arch Enemy or In Flames. Rounded out by drummerJerod Boyd,MISS MAY Ieven kept the same lineup together for more than a decade.
MISS MAY Icelebrates over a decade of savage metalcore and soaring melody, revitalized and poised for another insurgent renaissance. They remain armed with unmistakable power, road-hardened experience, a steadily building catalog, and an unrelenting spirit, supported by a diehard community.
