Metalcore veterans Miss May I have announced their eighth studio album, “No Place For Me”, due for release on October 2nd, 2026, via Solid State Records.
The band have also shared new single “Sanctuary”, offering another glimpse into the record’s deeply personal themes.
“‘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”.
Across “No Place For Me”, Miss May I confront self-doubt, anxiety and intrusive thoughts head on, channeling those emotions into some of the most direct and honest songs of their career. Balancing technical precision with crushing riffs, hardcore grooves and huge melodic hooks, the album builds on nearly two decades of evolution while staying true to the sound that has made the Ohio quartet one of metalcore’s most enduring names.
Since emerging in 2007, Miss May I have become a defining force within modern metalcore, with albums including “At Heart”, “Deathless”, “Shadows Inside and “Curse of Existence” helping establish a global audience. Now, with “No Place For Me”, the band continue that journey with a record that looks inward more than ever before.
