FACE YOURSELF announce brand new EP ‘Martyr’

Transcontinental deathcore collective, FACE YOURSELF have announced their brand new EP Martyr, today. The five track offering is set for release on 18th April via Sumerian Records and raises the modern deathcore bar to an unprecedented level. Punctuating today’s news is their blistering new single ‘Predatory‘ which offers a brutal yet haunting exploration of trust and betrayal, diving deep into the dark undercurrents of vulnerability and self-preservation.

‘Predatory’ is out now and can be streamed here, the accompanying music video – directed by FACE YOURSELF drummer, Eric DiCarlo – can be viewed here or by clicking the preview below and the Martyr EP can be pre-ordered here.

Speaking on their latest single and upcoming EP, the band shares:
“FACE YOURSELF is proud to release our newest single ‘Predatory’, alongside the announcement of our new EP ‘Martyr’ via Sumerian Records. ‘Predatory’ is based on a modern story with some metaphoric images. It’s about going to a dance with a stranger and quickly finding yourself in a dangerous situation. ‘Martyr’ explores struggles through difficult mental health battles. The lyrical content on the EP is based on vulnerability, and confronting your own demons. The record flirts between standing up for yourself, but also getting back to this dark place, as no one has a perfect linear mental health. Sometimes it takes a few trials to heal old wounds.

“With our producer Joey Sturgis, we tried to translate the theme through the impacts, melodies, vocals, making those emotions loud.”

Following the enormous success of their previous single ‘Sideration’, which showcased the band’s ability to blend sheer aggression with lyrical vulnerability, the Martyr EP sees FACE YOURSELF pushing even further into the unusual combination of emotionally vulnerable topics with ferociously brutal musicality. The EP reflects the cyclical nature of mental health struggles—balancing moments of empowerment with the dark pull of self-doubt.

Working with renowned producer Joey Sturgis (Asking Alexandria, Of Mice & Men, The Devil Wears Prada), FACE YOURSELF have crafted an EP that musically blends bone- crushing breakdowns with hauntingly melodic interludes, reflecting the lyrical themes that flicker over the fragile line between strength and vulnerability. Pre-order bundles are available now here.
