Perth metalcore group Make Them Suffer have announced their fifth studio album, the self-titled full length is set for release on the 8th November via Greyscale Records in Australia and SharpTone Records for the rest of the world. The record which is described in a press release as “11 tracks of inventive ferocity, Make Them Suffer finds the five-piece in unwavering control of their sonic identity. Bound with lashings of melodic light and blistering shade, the album also fearlessly steps into new creative waters that embraces yet boldly expands upon the group’s foundational symphonic, progressive, and blackened textures.” Alongside the announcement they have also unleashed a brand new single and video for ‘Oscillator’, which see’s them build of their blend of anthemic choruses and crushing riffing with a sonic flavour that has become synonymous with Make Them Suffer. It’s a sound of a band that know their strengths and know how to build on them and one that makes MTS one of the best in the genre.

Speaking on the single the band share: “Oscillator is more than just a song about screen addiction; it delves into the profound impact this addiction has on mental health… As we become more reliant on this constant source of stimulation, our baseline joy and excitement for life in general becomes lowered. I believe we are currently facing a mental health crisis, largely attributable to screen addiction.”

“The decision to self-title our latest record was a significant one,” shares the group. “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.”

“It feels like all the pieces have come together to create a special moment in the band’s career,” Make Them Suffer share. “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.”
