Make Them Suffer Return With New Single “Black Sheep”

Australian metalcore band Make Them Suffer have released their new single, “Black Sheep,” via Immortal Music Group and SharpTone Records. Produced and mixed by Dan Braunstein (Spiritbox, Holding Absence), the track explores isolation, belonging, and the realities of spending years on the road as a touring musician.

Lyrically, “Black Sheep” reflects on the disconnect between life on tour and life at home. Vocalist Sean Harmanis explains that while touring full-time is an opportunity he values, the lifestyle can also create feelings of loneliness and make it difficult to maintain relationships outside the music industry.

The track also reflects on Make Them Suffer's own journey through the heavy music scene. Formed in Perth in 2008, the band spent years developing their sound and building an international following, often feeling like outsiders before receiving wider recognition.

The single follows the band's recent collaboration with We Came As Romans on “Dead Silent,” released November 6 as part of the companion album ALL IS BEAUTIFUL… BECAUSE WE’RE DOOMED: CIRCULARITY.

Make Them Suffer's most recent full-length album was their self-titled 2024 release. With five studio albums behind them and nearly two decades in the heavy music scene, the band continue to build on their established sound.

“Black Sheep” is available now on streaming platforms via Immortal Music Group and SharpTone Records.
