Surefire's "The Worst Of Me" will be released on April 25th. This single embodies their distinctive sound and previews their upcoming EP through the label Life or Death. The track's percussive introduction, a slight allusion to late 90s/early 2000s metal, is abruptly punctuated by vocalist Joseph Coleman's entry, transitioning to their signature, heavy riffs. This sudden interruption of intensity drives the listener through emotive shifts in energy. Brief, deceptive lulls create a sense of anticipatory calm, suggesting a melodic transition, only to be disrupted by another explosive burst of heavy instrumentals.
The track's composition exhibits subtle nuances and carefully crafted moments that reveal new layers with each listen. Coleman's vocal delivery retains its expressive range, evoking a spectrum of raw emotions: rage, desperation, confusion, and despair. The instrumentals, written by Cameran Padget, Ian Trigg, Jake Heckle, and Devin Taylor, actively shape the single's progression. Presave here.

Their recent signing with Life or Death, formerly We Are Triumphant, is with a label instrumental in the development of acts like Imminence, Traitors, and Enterprise Earth. The band's inclusion in Milwaukee Metal Fest's May lineup signals prominence within the local scene. Coordinating tour dates and other performance opportunities, Surefire promises further announcements shortly.
Surefire continues to challenge the metalcore idiom, incorporating their modern take. While maintaining a sense of artistic humility, they demonstrably contribute a unique, youthful signature to the genre. Their ability to synthesize established metalcore conventions with their distinct identity is refreshing. Even in their previous releases, their potential was evident. Mainstream quality is already apparent in their sound; now they need greater exposure. By streaming Surefire on Spotify and social media platforms, fans directly impact the growth and success of independent artists in the local scene.
