One of the things I love about this band and others like The Devil Wears Prada and August Burns Red. They are religious themselves but don't try and force it down your throat. They allow you to interpret the music how you interpret it, not just how they do. They don't sit there and say "Follow Jesus and you'll be happy" Etc etc. Because they know that not all of their fans are religious but that there are fans that love them for the respect that the bands give their fans. He's sitting here talking about what this album meant to him and how it was strongly related to religion for him but then says He doesn't want this album to be seen as just that. That's just how it was for him. How you interpret it and connect with it is up to you. One of the many reasons I love and respect bands like this.

[@SynergyPaintball81]

This guy is the reason i love metalcore music. You will never hear a pop or rap artist say this stuff. Stand up guy and i give him a lot of credit.

[@TWProductions90]

Christian rap like Lecrae for example, aside from that, its underground

[@ForeverLostmusic]

because those people dont give a shit about anyone but themselves.. all they are in it for is money... they dont write their own music or anything .. they have everyone do it for them.. our "devilworshiping" genre cares more about us then those genres ever will...

[@jennagibson6685]

josh phillips RIGHT as soon as people hear the instrumentals they assume it's like satanic because they're too naive to actually pay attention to the message. but if it's something stupid like Justin Bieber or Katy Perry then all of a sudden they're a "musical genius" ha no not quite.

[@nickmathis6136]

Me being a believer in God, I wish all Christians were like this.. and I don't mean.. Identical to Matty, I just mean understanding of other people's views. Christians come off as some of the most judgmental, close minded people there are and that's because of a lot of "Christians" that represent it.. and it Gives Christianity and God such a bad reputation. To know that there are people who aren't sure if God exists that get made fun of and judged by people who are telling them they're gonna burn in hell if they don't believe.. it sickens me.. I wish everyone could be more accepting of other people's beliefs and stop bashing on people just because a difference of opinion. I have more respect for Matty than most people out there.. he's a genuine guy.. and if you disagree, I'm sorry.. this is just my opinion.

[@768DAGGER]

I totally agree with you.

[@derpsmurfson5324]

I Agree 100%. Lets be friends

[@slickgreen2813]

Amen to that

[@AaronMcdonalddd]

It totally says in the bible too that one day there will be people that come in my name but they are not of me

[@phaxad]

Anyone who dies without Jesus Christ will end up in hell. You judge Christians for judging.

[@XxSgtcandBvbarmyxX]

Even though I don't believe in God or religion,Matty's words & their new album really did touch me and leave me in tears.I respect Matty so much for opening up & not shoving his religion down people's throats like most religious people do.One of the reasons why Matty is such a huge inspiration to me is because he's gone through so much,but managed to get through it.Memphis may fire gives me the strength & hope to get through the day

[@kyleburton2557]

I respect that, I agree many of us tend to try to force our beliefs on others, I apologize for that, that was never the intention of our God. We seem to have lost the message and I have many friends that are atheist who I can have deep philosophical discussions with even though i'm christian. I understand where your coming from but I hope you don't believe we're all that way

[@jennagibson6685]

Kyle Burton I couldn't agree with your comment more man.

[@jennagibson6685]

***** hi kyle 😂

[@guitarrbabe]

I am so beyond proud of Matty. I've heard so many artists claim they're christian yet their music and lives haven't reflected that. I love how Matty is being bold with his faith. Being a Christian myself I totally know where he's coming from and I love that he had the courage to come out with his beliefs!

[@Adrianinked]

There's a lot of reason for admiring this guy, but the fact that he made this last record pretty much based on his faith in God, being in such a "scene" record label, is really something brave, and now this video. I take my hat off, a lot of "christian bands" out there should take his example and stop hiding their faith just to sell more.

[@kenshinjd]

Divinity was definitely a song written for someone like me, I can't explain how real and how precious our time here on earth is and how we're not alone in our suffering and whatever good we're trying to accomplish. That song helped me realize that, it was like a love song written by God and sung through Matty/Memphis May Fire. I hope it saves lives, mine's been touched and I'm grateful

[@iFearTruth]

I think i speak for everyone here when i say I FUCKING LOVE YOU BRO!

[@dilloncady35]

Yes yes yes

[@Phillshaw1]

Dillon Cady love you but no homo,,,,,,but steal love you

[@inXloveXandXfaith979]

I believe that Matty Mullins is the depiction of what a true Christian should look like. Because, although he is imperfect, he strives to be better and to reach out to others. His goal isn't fame and fortune, it's to help people. When people think of Christians, they shouldn't think of self-righteous, judgmental, hypocrites. They should think of people like Matty. Because he's a true Christian. Humble, honest, transparent, loving, willing to admit his flaws (because everyone has them), and uses his experiences and gifts for others. He's amazing.

[@tristananvilcaster]

The most inspirational singer ever. I am Christian too and this really is so meaningful and true, thank you Matty! God loves all of you too struggling

[@BradMellalieu]

Who could ever dislike this?

[@Ryl0o]

those who dont care

[@iLikeBandssss]

michael riley also known as ass hats

[@Beaneabean]

If you dont care, you dont care...youre not a bad person for that....damn

[@MyMetalHealth]

I seriously have tripled my respect for Matty , I love that he's sharing his beliefs with us through their music. MMF forever-

[@darkb_l00m]

I honestly don't see how anyone with an ounce of decency in their bones could hate this man. I have nothing but respect for Matty. I am agnostic atheist, but the lyrics he writes have helped me through so many difficult times. I don't get how someone could hate a person's lyrics or music simply because it's "Christian". Music is music, y'know?

[@josephpercy8772]

The way I see it, it's not even about what's true or not. Everyone just needs to be right.

[@Ms.Kriddle]

You're so right!! He's a humble, flawed man and isn't afraid to admit his own personal experiences with dignity.

[@XxWANTEDxX88]

Matty, you have been an inspiration to so many people. Your band has changed and helped so many people in the troubles they go through in their lives. Myself included... I hope you know how much you mean to all of us and how much we love you the rest of MMF. May God continue to bless you in your life and show you guidance wherever you may need it. -God Bless.

[@thomasodonnell2187]

EXACTLY 💯, AMEN,😉😇🤩🤩🤩❤💜.

[@havoren]

I'd love to be friends with someone like Matty Mullins. I don't give a fuck if they're religious and I'm an atheist, I just have mad respect for people who deserve it. And Matty Mullins deserved my respect when he put out the song "Beneath The Skin". Definitely my favorite song off the album, musically and lyrically. Keep writing music Matty, keep inspiring others! There are millions of other people looking for somebody like you to help them with their problems.

[@iamglasshouse]

It's tight that you can give respect for a Christian as an atheist. Sincerely, way to be open minded and treat people like people.

[@havoren]

GLASSHOUSE Yeah, sad how it works that way! Most of the atheists on the internet give people like me a bad reputation when it comes to religion. Just mention God on an Asking Alexandria music video and you'll get all sorts of angry comments from atheists telling you how delusional and pathetic you are. I'm just one the few who DOESN'T do that lol.

[@iamglasshouse]

havoren Oh, for sure. It's appreciated, man. Are you a musician yourself or just a fan of the genre?

[@havoren]

GLASSHOUSE As of now, I'm a fan of the genre. But I've been thinking about being a musician and doing my own music. I just need the right time and the proper material needed to do so.

[@SaintSi1999]

havoren Right on man! God bless ya dude!

[@WINH4X]

Broke down at 6:50. Matty, you're such an inspiration to me. I love you and the rest of the band. You inspire me to keep going, and you're all so beautiful. Four times I've seen you guys onstage, and I get to see you again at the VIP meet in two days in Portland. I can't wait to meet one of my heroes and actually talk to you. Thank you.

[@micahwright9523]

So inspiring. I just became a Christian in June of 2015. This has touched my life and I relate to this. I love you MMF! You guys are amazing \m/

[@emileeisonfire7]

I hope this video makes all the people that are calling Unconditional bad because it's "religious", or calling Matty self-righteous or stuck up, realize that they're wrong. This video is so powerful and true.

[@19cemeterygirl]

Divinity is my favorite song. it describes perfectly how I felt for a long time. Questioning my existence. Now, I am 28 years old. I have grew up and I understood that I have a purpose. I am a miracle story. "God is Love" 1 John 4:8.

[@danyeboi9597]

Amen jesus is the way the truth and the life

[@michaelamiller6411]

I'm a Christian and was raised in a church scene where this wasn't acceptable music, but to me this man is the one who inspires me to get help for anxiety, to be a better person through Christ, and to never lose Faith even in the darkest hours! This guy has showed me what a true Christian should act like and what true Christianity should look like! I realize now that the way I was raised with it being more about religion was wrong! It IS all about the gospel and Jesus Christ! Jesus is quickly becoming my everything! His solo album is what got me into his stuff. Mainly the "Normal Like You" song and Memphis May Fire's "Stay The Course"! Matty Mullins truly is a Godsend! Keep it up! If you can get through to this girl than I know you can get through to others! I'm a touch case to crack! God bless you and thank you Rise Records for allowing him to be original, inspiring, a blessing, and to express his Christianity! Love you guys! Keep inspiring people to be better and not listen to the negativity! Maybe someday I'll see you guys live!!! I would love nothing more than that! I've only ever been to a WinterJam concert so maybe someday I'll make you guys my second concert ever! How awesome would that be?! :) :) :)

[@alisheikh95]

Matty Mullins is a intelligent dude. He know's what he's writing about, and pours his soul into ever single word he speaks, and in his lyrics. This is why he's one of my two inspirations to be a better vocalist, lyric and vocal wise.

[@durge2010]

Who's your other?

[@michaelhartman413]

This guy is one solid guy. He's doing exactly what he needs to be doing and that is being a role model to the next generation or anyone who struggles with anxiety, depression or anything like that. What Matty is trying to do, is just show these kids or show people that struggle with this, that there is an answer and that answer is God. Letting go of everything you struggle with or go through and just trusting that God will be there to pull you right out or as the song says "I won't fear the fall because I know that you'll be there to catch me." Matty is giving people hope and he is showing them in a way that isn't forceful, that trusting in God's love, and the love Jesus Christ poured out on the cross for us, is indeed the answer. That's what I respect about this guy. He shows you, but doesn't tell you. He ask's but doesn't force. He truly is a Christian following the footsteps of Christ, spreading his word and loving others by reaching out to them! ROCK ON MATTY!

[@HidenLotus-]

So much more respect for the album now. I already enjoyed it and didn't mind at all the direction it was going in. I'm not religious even though on paper I'm catholic. I never thought Matty would ever try to shove religion down someones throat and I'm glad thats still how he is. He is one of the most sincere vocalists to date. I now have an understanbding as to why the lyrics were written the way we were. I respect faith and beleifs whatever they may be. Even though some songs have lyrics involving religious words (no other way to put it) I can now look back to this and think. I may not be able to relate to them 100% but I can find my own meaning bits and pieces but I will always look back to this video. Matty Cory Jake Kellen etc, They've all been there for us countless times with other albums. I think its our turn now. I'm gonna remember this everytime I listen to anything off their new album. This made me love the album more.

[@floridagrl17]

made me love him more. the band. and the album. i think with him giving God the glory, God is just proving how powerful God, himself is. How God uses people that love Him and Show Gods love , as Matt does. a gentleman. God is good. Matt's planting seeds. is so wonderful. I cried while watching this, God knew I need some encouragement and this changed my mood instantly. ...sry to rant on haha

[@HidenLotus-]

floridagrl17 Its good you found something like that to keep you encouraged and makes you strive. Personally I find other things to do that for me. But its good you can find something like that.

[@mindycooper1761]

I see that this was published on March 17th 2014, I saw you guys live in concert on March 18th 2014. I got to meet you guys but the one thing I remember most about that concert was when Matty was standing up on that stage and he said "this is for all of you who have ever struggled with depression and anxiety, I want you to know that you're not alone." To this day the memory gives me chills, the words brought tears to my eyes and it meant the world to me. I've struggled with depression for years and your music has truly saved me, thank you.

[@legndofcorey]

I watched this video when it first came out, and now I'm watching it again. it has such a different meaning to me and it is so powerful, the words he is saying. they are literally God-breathed. and just look at this. I've read almost all the comments, and it's so mind blowing that everyone commenting, is encouraging other people who are also struggling. I've never seen so many people on any form of social media, be so loving and encouraging to one another, realizing that we are not alone. we go through these things, and we go through then. together. even the non-believers can feel how powerful this message is. Matty Mullins is truly a wonderful, God-fearing man, and I'm so proud to call him my role-model.

[@Ethangamma24]

So it's kind of bringing tears to my eyes that in all of these comments, no one is fighting about religion or anything, everyone's just talking about how inspirational and loving Matty is, and how his music has changed their lives. I've never seen this anywhere else on the internet, let alone in real life. God bless you Matty Mullins.

[@riplilkevin1]

This made me cry. Matty and Tyler Carter's stories break my heart. They are two artists so far that I've seen come out with something like this that is real or appears real. It's like they took down the "frontman" label. Took away all the glamour and "coolness" of being in a band and have shown themselves for what they are. Human. Real people. Not just the guys who go on stage and make a shit ton of money.

[@JesusGreenLantern21]

Rayleigh Roe I have watched this a few times in the past year and every time I watch it I end up crying. I love Matty so much! He's such a great inspiration! He's what this generation needs! The Unconditional album seriously changed my life. I've never really been a very religious person, but I've always believed in God. This album changed my perspective on life and the way I treat people. I've always been a nice person, but we all make fun occasionally. I've stopped being so quick to judge others. We are all human and we all go through different things in life. We all deserve to be accepted and loved! I think if I ever get to meet the band I'll probably cry... I hate crying, but they've changed my life so much, more than they know.

[@riplilkevin1]

I met Matty Mullins in 2013 and he really is a very fun and sweet person. He gave me hug and told me to keep striving for what makes me feel alive. So if you do end up meeting him I'm sure you will cry haha He says the sweetest shit. It's amazing. I've never met someone so nice and polite.

[@StaayBeaautiful3]

I can honestly say Matty Mullins is one of the most amazing, touching, and unbelievably amazing people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. Just solely having him as a part of my life is a blessing itself.

[@danielallen4650]

here's what I see, people who are known and famous, everyone cares to listen to what they say but what if a stranger? Not so much but more of judgment of other people. I give Matty all respect along with many others. For their faith and decisions, but there are more people out there who can blow your mind away. Just open your ears and mind. You'll see. :) God Bless Matty!

[@swillieplays]

Point proven, no one cares what you're saying :p

[@danielallen4650]

Because it's a internet comment by those who does read. A point, you cared enough to reply.

[@Brandknob]

***** You may not agree with what he's saying but is fighting negativity with more negativity really the best way to go about it?

[@Brandknob]

***** Not hating or anything. I do agree what he said was uncalled for. Just saying

[@swillieplays]

Learn to take a joke, too serious = no wonder you have problems lol

[@jakeboggs2732]

I've never honestly believed in god and in grace and religion. Although Marty is talking about God and the love of Jesus I think that there is more behind all of what he is saying. I've always been a huge fan of memphis may fire and I have no problem with him talking about God, I just think that there is more behind what he is saying then just religion and he is absolutely right in saying that we are all here for a purpose and the true meaning of this record is to help people and he has always helped people. I may not BELEIVE in love or religion but I do BELEIVE in love and only the love of others and the love for yourself can pull you through your darkest times and I think that is something Marty can clearly present and has on Unconditional.

[@jakeboggs2732]

Matty* I don't know why google keeps changing his name!

[@kittykat2501]

Jake Boggs Marty xD

[@AkitoOG]

he is a TRUE follower of jesus in fact God is Love and it is written in the bible i hope youre a person that looks into things when people reply to you.

[@jakeboggs2732]

I know spell checkXD Its obviously Matty:p

[@KazRolyat]

Jake Boggs even Though you don't believe You Have What God Wants in everybody and alot of people don't so good for you

[@loudbrunette420]

I was so close to crying from this. Matty, you are such an inspiration. I need this album in my life, it has inspired me so much. I love you mmf!

[@Kim16100C]

Don't worry hun, I felt the very same way

[@thebingbongyang]

i did cry... was not expecting something so deep

[@conradcoetzee7586]

It's been a while since this album released. I was 14 when this came out and today I'm 22. I must say I'm not going through the best time in my life and my faith has grown weak. I was looking through the old songs I collected and found No Ordinary Love in the most likely 1000+ songs and that led me this video and made me break down in tears. I felt so alone but now I know I was running away from God. I realize now I don't have to go through my struggles alone and that God is always there with unconditional love. Thank you for bringing the spark back in my faith and brining hope to my current situation. Some how it feels like a mountain has been lifted off my shoulders just after watching this video and a prayer. God bless you guys and thank you for sharing your story.

[@RG_Adapt]

I love Matty even more!!!

[@TamSixx666]

"i believe that God puts his strongest children through the hardest battles" That gave me shivers.....Reminds me of myself.....

[@OfTheDevilToRemember]

It's so amazing seeing people step up to their divine purpose, such as Matty himself. He is an example of someone this generation needs to look up to, just amazing.

[@Jep_productions]

it feels like he's talking about my life but it's actually his.. that's so crazy, me and him have so many of the same thoughts and feelings. I need to read that book.

[@TWProductions90]

Judah Smith is awesome, you totally should!

[@emileeisonfire7]

This is exactly how I feel. You should definitely get the book!

[@rachelthings5879]

My parents knew Judah Smith's family. He is a rad dude. Definitely should check out the book.

[@jessicasuzanne___]

Jackson Pickens Same! I've struggled with depression and anxiety and I still struggle with anxiety but through all of it God is always with us; you don't have to go to church to be a Christian; all you have to do is confess with your mouth and believe in your heart that Jesus is Lord, that He's real, that He loves you unconditionally. Living life with Him is amazing; He is always there to lead you and guide you and help you; He can take away your anxiety, your fear, etc!

[@rachelradke123]

THIS is why I love this man so much. I am a christian who has struggled with anxiety, depression, etc for many many years and this album means a lot to me...

[@evanbriggs5744]

Yes!! I love it. My marriage was at rock bottom. I struggled with Pornography and had an emotional affair. This has been going on for the majority of my marriage (5 years). We were ready for divorce, My wife left me several times, we "separated" for a little bit, but nothing legal. I was so sorry... just dying, sick to my stomach from being away, begging her to come back. One day I just break down in despair asking God to save me, I repented my sins to him. That next couple of days I ask my wife if I can meet to talk. the talk went very well! We then got back together but it was pretty on edge.... So we went and saw a Spiritual Marriage counselor and they gave us lots of thinking to do, well mainly me. So I started reading the Bible after that and as I would read it, things just started to make sense, everything was coming in clear now. From that point, my whole life changed. God Is Grace Love and Mercy! God Bless.

[@Cerys65]

This was published two years ago on my birthday. That was nearly my last birthday. That year in June I attempted suicide and failed I then went through the struggle of therapy and psychologists suggesting ways to get better and was told I had clinical depression. I came back to God through this struggle and found a love that I hadn't felt in years. I struggle with the concept of love. My sister tried to murder me over the course of three years when we were young and this causes flashbacks and struggles with trust but God helps me. I was told this week that my chronic illness has no treatment and I have to suffer with the pain for the rest of my life even though I'm 16. I'm on antidepressants for my depressive states and sleep as my illness causes so much pain that I can't sleep without it. I wouldn't wish anyone to have to deal with any of these things but I thank God that I did because it is through these trials and struggles that I become stronger in Him and find purpose.

[@amykathleen6674]

stay strong❤

[@evanbriggs5744]

Love your testimony!

[@bloodsord9]

I am not religious. My creator is my mother. And that's what unconditional love is to me; family. I, as a Satanist can still relate to Christian lyrics. I really don't get the people who choose not to listen to music because of religious differences

[@david162116162140]

No you can't relate to "Christian" lyrics because you don't truly understand them. You have to get close to something to truly understand what it is. You understand the words, that is it. You don't understand what lays underneath them for the people who try to live their lives for Christ. They mean so much to Believers than they do to other people.

[@simplyari93]

David Duncan I think you should be less closed minded

[@Sancte_Benedicte]

How has Satan deceived you so much? I can guarantee you that the one you serve is a liar and he is the father of lies, all he is doing to you is destroying you, he comes to kill, steal and destroy and that is what he wants to do to you. I can also guarantee you that one day no matter how much money, cars, girls you may have you still will not be satisfied. Im sorry if i offended you but sometimes the truth hurts. Come to the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords Jesus Christ, satan and all of his demons are under his authority. He lost to Jesus when he died on the cross and then rose again three days later, the devil will be cast into the lake of fire at the end of time and he will be tormented there day and night forever and ever. If you ever have any questions you can ask me.

[@GreatswordTV]

these guys should look up what true satanism is, and what its beliefs are literally its all about being free and being who you are and not being stuck in a cage and manipulated by a so-called "god" don't get me wrong i don't hate on any religion but i hate it when people think others don't know anything just because of their religion.

[@hellbxymedia5027]

If you're not religious you don't believe in anything. If you believe in Satan you believe in God.

[@HadidBoneta]

My daughter is a fan. After being to a concert with her and seeing this video, I am a huge fan as well. I dealt with a very similar season in my life and can totally relate. God bless you Matty.

[@chaserx3998]

I dont like the word religious. As christians just because you are religious, doesnt mean you are saved. It is the relationship with Christ Jesus. and all of the people who are going to argue me, dont bother. I know Christ is real because he is in my heart.

[@isaaccorbett2583]

Matty you are my inspiration in life... My anxiety is bad and only getting worse... I hope that through your music and getting in touch with the lord everything will get better.

[@zackjones4877]

I turned to Christ in a time of need and if I'm honest I do still have sudden panic attacks or depressive moments but as soon as I reach out to God I feel so much better like a weight of my shoulders and turning to Christ has made me such a better person

[@jessicasuzanne___]

Same

[@pestoes834]

This video is just too amazing. I'm glad that Matty pointed out how he wasn't trying to force his religion on anybody but only trying to help people through the songs and write lyrics to where people can relate to them. I have so much respect for this band and their new album is awesome🌸I hope they're able to make more music in the future :D

[@stmarx8264]

Matty, i broke down at 10:40 and i doubt you'll read this but here goes. Memphis may fire is the only band i can say i legitimately love, i connect myself to so many of your songs on your different albums. Divinity has to be my favorite song you guys came out with it touches me on a personal level and brings me to tears every time i listen to it. You're my Hero matty, i don't care what anyone says, you helped me stay positive within your music and helped me through alot of rough times. I love you, Matty

[@iamglasshouse]

The fact that Matty's got people talking about their faith like this is incredible. I think people need to be challenged to consider why they might be here... This is me hoping and praying that people are reached through this music. Thank you, Matty.

[@aquavirgio]

Matty Mullins is truly am inspiration to me, and being a Christian and being able to share that with him is just amazing. I love Memphis may fire because they make amazing music and they're not corrupt like a lot bands out there now. Matty really has the right idea about a lot of things and I hope others can see that in him too.

[@CogZeta911]

he is truly inspirational. Can't wait for the new album

[@camusic200]

it leaked. you can stream it on youtube if you want :)

[@mr.slipifist]

Camille Morin it wasn't leaked it was officially released as an online stream by rise :P

[@neoreformedbuddhist]

Kudos to Matty for sharing something so personal that could potentially bring so much hate. Especially in a mainstream band. I really hope that anyone watching this who doesn't agree with his beliefs can still take away the importance of what he is saying and understand that the record isn't about shoving his beliefs down your throats. But rather it is about sharing what has helped him though his toughest times. So be thankful for the gift he is given you. Even if you don't accept it

[@DaveysCards]

I used to be judgemental myself. It wasn't until I was put in similar situations where I started to understand people and sympathize with them. Now I'm best friends with people who I thought I'd never befriend. God has shown me alot these 5 years after trisls.

[@Skater4shreder]

To all those who say Matty is a stuck up dude, you can go ahead and watch this video before you make a claim about someone you don't know.

[@Skater4shreder]

TAA? im blanking right now haha

"I went through this to be able to relate to others" WOW THATS AMAZING THAT SOMEONE COULD SAY THAT!

This is one amazing testimony. So proud of Matty and MMF for this. God is using y'all in huge ways.

As a fan of Memphis May Fire that doesn't believe in religion I have SO much respect for Matty for everything he has said here. The point of religion is to have something to believe in, and Matty used what he believed in to bring him out of his dark time. Some people use music, others use religion. It is truly amazing to see someone I admire talk about his way of leading himself away from the darkness and despair of such horrible illnesses. The way he talks about religion is awe inspiring in itself. I have never believed in religion and I can still give him so much credit because he is leading the way for a lot of other religious people who feel in the dark to use whatever they believe to help them overcome their struggles or even speak out to get help for it. Matty Mullins has always inspired me and now I have so much more of an understanding for him and I love it so much. I'm glad he spoke out and used his dark times as a light for others.

"I would reach out to God and I wouldn't feel anything." A few years ago I was in the same position. I was in the same position some of you may have been in. I wanted to believe in God, to be saved and have proof that He was with me, but many times I could not muster up the faith to do so. I reached out to him, and expected him to do some magical thing, like make me glow with renewal or giant rainbows to loop over the sky with my decision. Piled on top of that I had unexpected bouts of depression, was bullied and once almost committed suicide. I fought with these trials and doubts until I was 13. I was at a Christian camp. It was on Tuesday night during evening service. They preached about survival, how we need God as our guide to survive. I'd been hurting for so long, I remember. Things started to make more sense. That there was a gift I was given. All I had to do was take it. During the invitation I bawled my eyes out on the alter and handed my life over to God. I do not believe that what Matty talks about is simply a "religious speech." Christianity is not just a religion. It's a relationship. The common denominator you see in all other religions is about YOU have to do to be good enough. In Christianity it's not all about what YOU have to do, it's about what HE did FOR you. All we have to do is acknowledge what he's done, and accept his gift. That is what Matty talks about. His relationship, his guide. That is what helped him overcome depression.

[@MandoDarling]

As a fellow Christian I can't express how much I love what Matty is doing and how he's going about it. It should never be about shoving 'religion' down peoples throats or telling them what they should believe. It's about exactly what Matty is talking about, spreading love and showing others that God is there for them and loves them unconditionaly

[@sami__samm]

I look up to Matty and Brittany both so much. They are such amazing people to look up not only for struggling young Christians but any person who needs some role model. They are not perfect and that's why i look up to them so much. They are amazing people and I love all the work that MMF does. Never ever quit

[@weavertx4776]

This whole interview was speaking to me because I'm going through the same thing he went through and I'm still going through it. It's been almost two years but I'm still fighting through it and I'm going to check out that book. Thanks for understanding Matty.

[@teamweird9213]

Hey David, I know how you feel. Matty spoke about exactly what I'm going through. I was a strong believer, and now I'm in a battle with myself if I believe or not. I am battling myself because of all the depression and crap I'm going through, ya know. So if you're a Christian (not trying to assume you are) and are going through something similar then know that you aren't the only one!

[@weavertx4776]

Thank you, I appreciate it and yes I'm a Christian.

[@teamweird9213]

All I can say is continue praying, push on. What I've been trying to do is continue praying, and fasting from things that distract me from God. :D hopefully it works out.

[@weavertx4776]

I'm doing my best, I started going out in public just about everyday and now go to gym so it's a blessing.

[@forkevbot]

David Weaver You're not alone my friend

[@gabrielcastle3071]

I don't even think Religion has anything to do with what he is saying. He has a real relationship with his Savior. Relationship is the real word for this. I want the happiness and peace that he has in his heart. I wish more people would give Jesus a chance to make their lives better...

[@maldictous]

amen brother.. he's definitely not talking about religion.. just Christs perfect love for us.

[@gregwitwer32585]

What an inspiration. I was struggling with anxiety for a long time and this album shows how much Matty and mmf cares about helping people through their struggles. Everyone is their own miracle story

[@akosiredred]

Yo Matty, May Jesus use you as a tool to change/effect the whole metalcore/metal/hardcore/underground scene. May Christ Bless you, man.

[@RicoRomanProductions]

Good interview. Lots of good things to say

[@birdgeekguy]

in response to anyone judging christian metal heads just for being metal heads: If you were a Christian, you'd look past all the stuff your accusing them and listen to the lyrics. If you were a Christian you wouldn't judge based and silly things like scream vocals, facial expressions and the rock on sign. Those mean nothing. The words are what counts. As a matter of fact, you wouldn't judge them at all. It’s not your place. They’re still praising god in their own way. Stop judging the surface and listen to the words for once. People look at metal heads, especially Christian ones, and judge them based on their clothes, their hairstyles, their piercings, and of course, their music. They refuse to actually take a look at what they think and are saying at point the finger when they didn’t do anything wrong. Christians aren’t supposed to judge people unless they are an ACTUAL judge that took and oath on the bible itself. God said to praise him. He didn’t say how, he just said to praise him in all that you do. Yet these Christians wale on Christian metal heads because of what they look or sound like. Modern Christians are under the impression that God is all fluff and flowers and if you believe in him there will be no pain or suffering in your life. I don’t mean to be rude, but that’s total bullcrap. Utter hogwash. God himself said we would endure the MOST pain of all peoples. Yet modern church “Christians” just LOVE to make it look like nothing will ever go wrong and deny it when people say that they suffer. “You’re going through a bad phase of your life you say? WELL SHAME ON YOU FOR NOT ACCEPTING JESUS” and “the only reason you’re in pain is because you’re not a Christian” Read the bible for yourself. You’ll see that there is no reason in heaven or on earth to judge people who listen to metal and who are Christians. You want to spread hope? There are plenty of metal bands with hopeful lyrics. But one of the reason there is Christian metal is to stop the watered down, meaningless, boxed in “Christian” music these days. Christina metal lyrics make us remember our hardships so we never forget who brought us out when we needed him. They ARE about hope. And they tell truths. From what I’ve seen AND experienced, the Christian metal heads are the most devout of all.

[@TheBlindFates]

I think it's great that he's come out front with the record. This is what it is, and what I intend to do with it. Especially given how risky the topic can become in society. It's good that he let's all know.

[@floridagrl17]

I agree. and I believe God will bless him for doing so. many may hate and say negative but I think his message will get through powerfully and will open eyes. he's shown the live of God beautifully.

[@FerroNJ4]

Matty is one of the most inspirational people. I love all his messages that he puts out, and he does it in the best way possible. By producing wonderful music that people will speak of and listen to for many years to come. Spread the love!

[@ksmiles124]

I absolutely love his message. I believe in God and Jesus and I honestly have so much love for people, whether you believe in god or not, you have my respect. I have love for every single person and I feel it's wrong for Christians to judge people based on certain things when that's not what god wants you to do, god loves everyone. I wish more Christians like myself would understand that. Spread love and positivity to everyone and you will find happiness.

[@DhafinJulda]

Thanks for all of your songs Matty. I go through this situation and finally I got the "how to be loved by our creator" means, all of your songs describe my feeling now especially your "No Ordinary Love" song, it describes my feel so much and for your previous songs like "Legacy" it motivates me. Thank you, Thank You so much.

[@Onkuty]

Amen :)

[@conviction1989]

Matty keep putting out the gospel plant the seed! One day it will grow! Scream at the top of your lungs the Gospel and it will change lives!!!

[@zanedeyo]

Thank you Matty. I hope that this will help me and my father get through his depression, and him questioning his existence

[@zachwalters4259]

I'm also a Lutheran and matty mullins is and has been one of my favorite singers and now he has made me so happy

[@stephenmorris5790]

For some reason, i had no idea Matty was a believer. that inspires me more than anything

[@LilaTamea]

inspiration

[@BaileeWalsh]

Great video. Took a turn I wasn't expecting, and although I don't agree with certain things he said, as I'm agnostic, I respect his beliefs and views. Haven't listened to the album yet, but am looking forward to it. I wish he would have talked more about his experiences though and more of an inspiration for certain songs or lyrics. I also wish that this video wasn't just Matty, unless they plan on releasing other videos with the rest of the band that are just as long as this one in the future.

[@JJTheTubster]

Well, it was just Matty because he wrote all the lyrics for this record. The rest of the band probably doesn't have enough to say make a video. It's not because Matty is more important, it's that his testimony of this album is more relevant than what most of the band could probably offer. Just my thoughts :)

[@nicholasr.angell3296]

Oh my.. Matty you are truly amazing. YOU. ARE. Not any "God". With or without, you are an amazing artist.

[@josecedillo8915]

This is so beautiful. The way Matty describes his point of view of Gods uncondiontial love for us, and of his faith that impacts us with positive messages to proceed in any trial or tribulation. Matty if you are reading this comment, be proud of yourself man because your music HAS made impacts with todays youth. cheers man:)

[@IceeSwirl]

I can tell that Matty is a very genuine human being. I wish I could've met him at Warped. As soon as I got to his booth for the Meet and Greet, I saw him take a pic with one last person and then leave. Hopefully I can meet him some day.

[@DeanFernape]

People need to relax. Matty even says that he is not trying to force religion or god or Jesus down the fans throats. He is simply expressing himself and sharing his experiences. I am not a believer in any way shape or form. I consider myself an Atheist. But the fact that people do believe in a higher power doesn't make them a target for internet abuse. Each to their own. Let people be who they want to be. Matty put this so beautifully and I can't wait for the record to drop.

[@fairebear]

11:23 Just in case people don't get it :)

[@DeanFernape]

Thanks! :D

[@averycainfritz917]

I am the complete opposite person following a religious standpoint, I am not christian never have been. but this truly inspires me, Memphis has grown to be one of my favorite bands. It makes me truly the happiest ive ever been listening to them, just because im not religious doesnt mean Matty and memphis cant touch every single soul on earth. thank you and keep rocking!

[@DemonologiesHQ]

This very video is, as a whole, why Memphis May Fire is my favorite band. Some people just get it...Some people can put it onto paper and out into the air in spoken word how everyone is feeling. I relate so closely with so many songs that they produce and each and every song reaches a different part of me. I just want anyone who enjoys music with meaning to listen to a few of their songs. Even if you aren't into Metal or screaming. Listen to it. I don't mean press play. I mean LISTEN and you will see why this band is so amazing in my eyes.

[@madisonrocks37]

Matty, dude, let me just start with saying thank you. Like a lot. I can't explain how thankful I am that I found MMF and this video. To be honest, I was just expecting some hints on the new album and what it will sound like. I did not expect that the first sentence would be talking about panic attacks. I have anxiety, panic attacks, and depression. It sucks, yeah. But what you said about the song "The Answer" was true too. I'm just shocked beyond words. This was truly amazing. So, yeah. Thanks! :)

[@LegendaryTerryFTW]

Im so proud to support this band. Even as they grow as a band, they also grow as individuals So excited for what else is to come!

[@codyweiler4598]

Matty, I am so thankful for models like you. Guys who aren't afraid to stand up for their faith in Christ. You're one of the most real guys/artists I know. God bless

[@dilloncady35]

Most respected man in all of the music industry. This humbling interview proves it. Matty your amazing bro.

[@ilovethefallen99]

This man changed my life. This brought me to tears knowing he is taking the time out of his day to share such a personal side of him, to save lives. These are our heroes. They music and such has made an impact on my life.

[@tiagogracio1]

Omg! I'm without words to describe how perfect is this video. I just want to hug you right now, your words make me cry. Matty, thanks for everything, for me you are a hero, my hero!

[@SarahJael]

I'm like crying because EVERYTHING you said is so true! About 2 years ago I fell into a depression and anxiety and I grew in Christ so much. It was such a test if Faith and it made me realize just how unconditional God's live truly is. And the thing about you sharing your story and writing songs about and stuff. As a young writer, that's what I aspire to do. I know God's called me to write books and poems and things for him but you totally just put in to words what I've been trying to find words to explain. I want to share my story and my experiences and how, with out God and amazing people like you who let God work through them, I would still be in a very dark place. Thank you for being freaking awesome.

[@t.j.17]

Matty is my #1 inspiration. I didn't know he dealt with anxiety. Now I just relate to him even more. He is such a role model. Love MMF!

[@allydimodica4124]

So I just started to get really into Memphis May Fire and this interview made me love them a million times more. I feel like Matty just explained my whole situation and has now given me a record that I can truly relate too. Thank you Memphis May Fire!

[@Nightmare147420]

this truly hits home for me because i was in that spot my freshman year. my father was deployed to Afghanistan, my grandmother whom i was very close with died and i was on the verge of failing out of school. i was being bullied on numerous levels and i literally felt like life had no meaning. currently life for me has been amazing and i am now more positive then i have ever been. i have never seen an artist speak and relate to their fans as much as matty does. he is really down to earth and really shows that he cares about his fans. the music he and the band writes connects with so many people and i truly admire that. if Mathew is reading this i want him to know that i appreciate and love what he is doing. thank you for all that you have done

[@MeganSmithxo]

I literally just cried so much at this! I know no one will read this but Matty I am so proud of you for speaking about your story you honestly have no idea how much your lyrics have helped me especially right now I'm currently fighting a hard battle of anorexia nervosa and your lyrics have helped me to continue with recovery and to never give up I'm so thankful for you and your lyrics and I just hope I'm well enough to come and see you on the 13th of April especially at the signing in pulp! You have helped me so much and you just are an amazing human being and I just have no words for how much you have helped me I love you! 💜

[@InSiDiiOusxX]

I can't even begin to describe the amount of respect I have for Matty. Especially after watching this video. Is without a doubt a role model in my life.

[@briannakay3898]

I'm not crying there's just Matty Mullins in my eye. there's no words to describe this man.

[@spencerthompson6581]

So much respect for this guy. He truly is an inspiration to me.

[@rpie1382]

I really respect this. The thing that hit me is when he started talking about trying to relate. Creating songs that their fans can relate too, especially when the songs come from the heart and from someone who understands. That is a sign of someone with an amazing heart. You are amazing Matty. You are a great man. God bless you..

[@taylorsparks4289]

I like there music. I'm not the biggest fan though. But jeez. I have nothing but respect for Matty. The first time I heard of MMF was when he featured on sleeping with sirens feel. And he has a really catchy voice. But Matty is an actual role model and even though im not the biggest fan,shit he is one of my heroes. This brought me to tears

[@vanjaklapuh1341]

i was going through depression because of school and relationship problems because of my appearance, your music and what you have accomplished has turned me around, thank you so very much :)
