In this exclusive interview, I sit down with Levi Benton, vocalist of Miss May I, to talk about their highly anticipated return to Australia in 2025. With the band set to perform at Knotfest Australia alongside some of the biggest names in heavy music, as well as two headline sideshows, we dive into what fans can expect from these intense live performances.

Levi reflects on the 15th anniversary reissue of Apologies Are For The Weak and how revisiting the album’s early material with guest artists has reshaped his perspective on their journey. We also explore the deeply personal themes of their latest album, Curse of Existence, and how his experiences, including fatherhood, have influenced his songwriting.

We discuss the evolution of metalcore over the years and how Miss May I has adapted while staying true to their signature sound. Levi shares insights into life on the road, the band’s camaraderie after nearly two decades together, and what’s next for Miss May I, including potential collaborations and future musical directions.
