The new album is here. It’s a true testament to the band they’ve become, and we're thrilled to welcome back frontman Sean Harmanis of Make Them Suffer. Our last conversation was during their North American tour in the spring; since then, they've taken on an intense schedule, from major summer festivals to headlining across Australia. Now, they’re rounding off a landmark year with the release of their self-titled fifth studio album, Make Them Suffer, and it may well be their finest yet.

The pandemic put MTS at a breaking point, with this album almost not seeing the light of day. But the arrival of Alex Reade as the newest band member brought a fresh spark, igniting immediate chemistry that breathed new life into the group. The renewed energy among these five musicians has forged a rare bond, creating music with a maturity and cohesion few can rival.

Throughout our discussion, Sean reflects on the journey and what has led the band to this pivotal moment. Ever humble, he’s quick to express gratitude for the opportunities the band has had, while also celebrating their hard-won successes. Make Them Suffer’s sound has evolved naturally, reaching new depths that Sean breaks down as we explore the trajectory leading to Make Them Suffer.

2024 is shaping up to be MTS’s year, and while it may seem like we’ve said it before, this band truly is only just beginning this exciting new chapter. Tune in to hear Sean’s take, and be sure to buy and stream Make Them Suffer, out November 8 via Sharptone Records.
