Not since Bullet for My Valentine’s Hand of Blood have we heard a more compelling set of songs for an EP, where absolutely every song is bone-chillingly perfect, and timeless. These guys are on their way to something huge.” In September 2007 the band had officially signed to Trustkill, and their self-titled EP was reissued through the label in December 2007.

10. Carry On (This Light I Hold, 2016)
“This is one of my favorite songs on the new album, means a lot to me because I had problems with people who wanted to mold me into a person that I didn’t wanted to be. And when I listen to this song I remember how strong I was to don’t let them win. And I feel really good about that.”
9. The Commanded (The Hollow, 2011)
“My favorite song from The Hollow. This song is most likely referencing what soldiers experienced on the battlefield during the civil war, or possibly one of the world wars, which is interesting in my opinion”
8. The Haunted (The Hollow, 2011)
“This is the first song I ever heard by Memphis May Fire, and I instantly fell in love with it. It’s got great energy, a good vocal/scream mix, and it’s incredibly catchy. Even Matty must think The Haunted is one of the best, because he references this one in Jezebel on Challenger.”

7. Beneath the Skin (Unconditional, 2014)
“his is the most melodic,most beautiful and lyrically deepest Memphis May Fire can get…apart from the fact that some of it’s lyrics contradicts it is definitely the best MMF track so far”
6. Miles Away (Challenger, 2012)
” love this song, it’s one of my favorite songs in the world. It has a lot of meaning, especially for me personally, because I had a similar experience a couple of years ago. It’s one of the nicest songs that MMF have written. I mean, I love all of their songs, but sometimes all of the screaming and drums and guitar gets a little overwhelming, and when bands throw in songs like this, it really makes it so much better”
5. Ghost in the Mirror (Sleepwalking, 2009)
“I love this song because of their original southern sound and also Matty’s screams and vocals plus the steady beat. This song sounds very, very cool in the first go itself.”

4. Prove Me Right (Challenger, 2012)
“ts crazy to think people actually thought this was about fans, but the lyrics are obvious its about the music industry people, even matty tells in his interview. such a great song.”
3. Alive in the Lights (Challenger, 2012)
“No other breakdown from any song has given me chills as intense as the one I get from this song’s breakdown; the build up of angst and pity anger all gushing and exploding stemming from deep rooted emotions during the breakdown is just bliss. I’m so glad to have ears.”
2. Vices (Challenger, 2012)
“This song is amazing… All the elements, the music, screams, growls and the captivating chorus.. All comes together so perfectly.. I love the guitar part in the beginning. I also love how low Mullin’s voice gets.”
1. The Sinner (The Hollow, 2011)
“Ridiculously amazing breakdown in the beginning of the song. Has a great meaning too. This song’s the one you sit on a bus and head-bang too while everyone else is like “what is that guy having a seizure? ” These two chorus are just amazing. They can make you fell the beat, like something was hitting something, I don’t know”
