Metalcore quartet Mire<\/strong> have just announced their forthcoming record, Pale Reflection<\/em>, due out on April 10th, delivering the news alongside a brand new single, the album’s title track, “Pale Reflection” and an accompanying music video. Consisting of vocalist Benton<\/strong>McKibben<\/strong>, guitarist Nick<\/strong>Hipa<\/strong> (ex-As<\/strong>I<\/strong>Lay<\/strong>Dying<\/strong>), bassist\/guitarist Ryan<\/strong>Glisan<\/strong> (ex-Allegaeon<\/strong>), and drummer JP<\/strong>Andrade<\/strong>, it’s the first Mire<\/strong> record with this lineup.<\/p>\n

The track dropped this past Friday, with Hipa<\/strong> saying that they were, \u201cstoked to finally release some new @thebandmire<\/strong> music! The best time to drop new tunes was actually in 2023 when we had the whole record written, the second best time was in 2024 after we finally found the time to track it. [Everyday] life, responsibilities, and logistics proved to be formidable obstacles for those targets though, so the THIRD best time is right now.<\/p>\n

Today we\u2019re releasing the first single \u201cPale Reflection,\u201d which is the title track off our upcoming album Pale Reflection<\/em>. It is the first to feature our rad new drummer @johnpaulondrums<\/strong> and was mostly recorded at @atriumaudio<\/strong> in Lititz, PA, by the super talented and very chill duo of @grantrmcfarland<\/strong> and @carsonslovak<\/strong> who also handled mixing and mastering.\u201d<\/p>\n

Grant<\/strong>McFarland<\/strong> and Carson<\/strong>Slovak<\/strong> are known for their work with August<\/strong>Burns<\/strong>Red<\/strong> and The<\/strong>Last<\/strong>Ten<\/strong>Seconds<\/strong>Of<\/strong>Life<\/strong>, and so, there’s hope that there will be more of this kind of material to come.<\/p>\n

The new single is available for streaming on Bandcamp, and Pale Reflection<\/em> is available for pre-order here. You can find the album’s tracklist, and the brand new music video, below.<\/p>\n
