In this explosive episode of The Mixtape, we’re joined by Matty Mullins, frontman of Memphis May Fire, to talk all things heavy, heartfelt, and hilarious. Matty dives into the band's brand-new album Shapeshifter—revealing the creative process behind the music, how the band continues to evolve, and what fans can expect on their upcoming co-headline Australian tour with Atreyu.

But that’s not all—things get wild as we ask the crucial question: Who from the band would die first if they got lost in the Australian outback? Spoiler: it’s not who you’d expect.

Plus, Matty builds an imaginary mixtape of his musical influences and confesses to a guilty-pleasure shower song that will blow your mind. You’ll never guess what it is…

Whether you're a die-hard Memphis May Fire fan, a metalcore head, or just love great conversations about music, touring, survival, and surprise singalongs—this episode is a must-listen.
