Australian metalcore band Make Them Suffer have premiered the official music video for their new single “Black Sheep”. The visuals were directed by Third Eye Visuals.
The song explores the experience of feeling like an outsider and the strange contrast between the isolation of life on the road and the recognition that comes with success in the music industry.
Vocalist Sean Harmanis explained that “Black Sheep” reflects the group’s own journey, including years of working without widespread recognition before reaching a larger audience.
Rather than treating that experience entirely negatively, Harmanis said the band’s outsider status helped shape their distinctive sound. The singer views the group’s gradual progress as proof that an unconventional creative identity can ultimately become a strength.
The accompanying video gives fans a visual interpretation of that theme, arriving as Make Them Suffer continue building on their recent momentum.
The band have not attached a new album title or release date to this particular announcement. For now, “Black Sheep” stands as their latest new song and video.
Australian metalcore outfit Make Them Suffer launched their discography with the self-released debut EP “Lord of Woe” on September 27, 2010, quickly catching the attention of Roadrunner Records. Signing with the label in February 2012, the band issued their debut full-length album, “Neverbloom”, on May 25 of that year.
Following the May 2014 standalone single “Let Me In,” they delivered their sophomore studio effort, “Old Souls”, on May 29, 2015. Expanding their international footprint, Make Them Suffer inked a worldwide deal with Rise Records in January 2016, debuting the single “Ether” that June before issuing a deluxe edition of “Old Souls “in August that bundled the new track alongside a remastered version of “Lord of Woe”. In June 2017, the group unveiled the single “Fireworks” to announce their third studio album, “Worlds Apart” (released July 28).
The announcement coincided with a major lineup overhaul on June 9, seeing the departures of Chris Arias-Real, Lachlan Monty, and Louisa Burton, while welcoming bassist Jaya Jeffery and keyboardist Booka Nile into the fold. Make Them Suffer subsequently embarked on an extensive 2017 headlining world tour spanning North America, Europe, the UK, and Australia, joined by supporting acts Wage War, Enterprise Earth, Novelists, Spite, and Alpha Wolf.
