When Man Meets His Maker drop crushing new single “The Legend”

Philadelphia deathcore act When Man Meets His Maker has released a brand new single, “The Legend”. It hits with gnarly riff work, double-kicks, and a bleak melodic thread that sticks fast. The track is now streaming below.

Clocking in at over six minutes, the song builds from moody harmonies into a hard, stomping surge. Meanwhile, the vocal snarl rides a tight mix that favors low-end heft without losing clarity. The release also credits the band’s core team on writing and performance, which points to a fully in-house push.

The new single arrives as the group continues to flesh out the sound they sharpened on their recent debut album, “The Hell In Heaven.” That record introduced a blend of deathcore weight and melodic death metal hooks, and this cut follows the same path with more bite. In addition, the band keeps production close to home, just like the album sessions with guitarist and producer John Boyce.

When Man Meets His Maker has been active in waves since the early 2000s, rebuilding momentum in the last couple of years. Therefore, “The Legend” lands as a strong entry point and a clear sign that the project is still climbing.

If you missed the full-length, “The Hell In Heaven” is available alongside merch through Skepsis Recordings, and it maps out the band’s current vision with grim atmosphere and sharp, modern punch. Because of that, spinning the album next to the single makes the new song hit even harder.
