It’s been a long time coming, but Perth metalcore group Make Them Suffer have finally shared details of their forthcoming fifth album.
Officially kicking off the LP campaign with single Doomswitch in October 2022 – in which the band welcomed their present “fifth member”, keyboardist and singer Alex Reade – the band kicked into another gear last May, when they signed to Greyscale (Australia) and Sharptone Records (internationally) and dropped one of their strongest songs to date, Ghost Of Me.
Make Them Suffer’s Alex Reade: ‘I Have So Much Respect For Them’
Earlier this year, the band dropped another single, Epitaph, and announced the Suffer Forever tour for August/September, which has already seen three dates sell out. The remaining three shows are selling fast.
Today, Make Them Suffer enter their self-titled era, officially announcing their new album and dropping a fiery new single, Oscillator. For the album, the group co-produced each track alongside Jeff Dunne (Disturbed, Fit For A King, Ice Nine Kills) and said of their latest LP:
The decision to self-title our latest record was a significant one. It stands as an authentic representation of the band’s sound. We loved our band name in the early years; however, through all these years of growth, we believe the songs on this album are the best representation of ‘Make Them Suffer’ as a name and, more importantly, as our vision for the band. The album represents years of growth, evolution of sound, and is a ‘full circle’ representation of that vision.
They continued, “The album is the result of years of accumulation of material, experimentation, and growth. We think that really comes through in the songs. We’re incredibly excited for people to hear our self-titled record and even more excited about what the future holds. We can’t wait to bring these songs to life on big stages with bigger productions, giving them the spectacle they deserve.
“Anybody following the band over the past number of years knows we have undergone immense change, self-discovery, and subsequently, have experienced a reinvention. We feel as if the stars have aligned to create a very special time in the band’s career, and we can’t wait to show everyone that growth.”
The follow-up to 2020’s How To Survive A Funeral will be released on Friday, 8 November. You can pre-order/pre-save the album here and check out Oscillator below.
