Michigan deathcore wrecking crew unleash a throat-clutching title track ahead of their June 4 EP drop via Bleeding Art Collective and Blood Blast Distribution.
There’s something rotten brewing in Michigan—and it smells like sweat, feedback, and impending violence.
My Own Will have returned with a new weapon called “Misery”, the title track from their upcoming EP, and it doesn’t knock politely. It kicks the door in, flips the table, and dares you to do something about it.
This isn’t polished metal for passive listening. This is metal-fueled hardcore designed to start fights with the floor. Four tracks. That’s all you get. Four tracks built to clutch throats, ignite pits, and leave bruises you’ll wear like trophies.
The EP, Misery, lands June 4 through Bleeding Art Collective in partnership with Blood Blast Distribution—a pipeline that’s been quietly feeding some of the nastiest modern heavy music into the bloodstream.
But the real spark? It started early.
Frontman Dave Keoppen makes it clear that “Misery” wasn’t just another track—it was the ignition point.
“Misery was the first demo we recorded for the EP,” he says, “originally called ‘Highway Homicide.’ It’s a fast, blistering track that really sets the tone.”
And tone, in this case, means controlled chaos with a mean streak.
“Sonically, it’s unlike anything we’ve done before. I really tried to push my vocal ability on this one, and the dudes wrote a heavy, fast, interesting ass beater. It’s fast at times, slow at times, and maintains a constant auditory onslaught throughout.”
That’s the key phrase right there: constant auditory onslaught.
This track doesn’t breathe. It doesn’t let you breathe. It’s a cycle of acceleration and impact, where breakneck speed slams headfirst into slow, crushing weight—like getting hit by a car, then the car reversing to finish the job.
And somewhere in that wreckage, My Own Will are evolving.
There’s a sense here that they’re not just trying to be heavy—they’re trying to be unpredictable, to twist their own formula into something sharper, meaner, and harder to pin down. “Misery” feels like a statement of intent: this is who we are now—deal with it.
The full EP drops June 4.
Four tracks. No filler. No mercy.
Just Misery.
This is the gospel.
I bite crowd surfers.
Killer.
