My Epic - Loriella (2024) [Hi-Res]

After five years of relative silence, North Carolina alternative rockers My Epic are finally back and better than ever. Although they signed to Tooth & Nail Records in 2020, they chose to spend the last few years working hard and re-entering the scene with what is arguably their best studio release to date, Loriella.

The context in which this album is being released is important. The last time we had heard from My Epic was their 2019 EP, Violence. At the risk of understating the obvious, our world changed a good deal between 2019 and 2024. Additionally during that time, members of the band also became fathers and “moved around personally and professionally,” according to the record label.

Furthermore, My Epic fans have not received a full album from the band since 2013’s Behold (another fantastic release). The band has set the bar incredibly high for themselves this time around, thinking back to 2010’s smash hit, Yet, and even further back with I Am Undone, their underrated album from 2008.
