Miss May I have come a long way since they formed in 2006. After releasing three records and touring all over the world, the band has released their forth record, Rise Of The Lion, and are currently touring on the Rockstar Energy Mayhem Festival this summer. I sat down with vocalist Levi Benton at the St. Louis date and we had the following conversation. Check it out after the jump!
Troy, OH metal act Miss May I will headline a series of shows sponsored by Affliction Clothing, on their days off from their direct support slot on the Killswitch Engage Tour. The headline dates feature support from The Word Alive. Affiance will also support on select dates.

According to Reuters, Tim Lambesis, lead singer for the heavy metal band As I Lay Dying, was arrested in California on Tuesday on charges that he sought the help of an undercover detective to have his estranged wife killed, police said. The band were scheduled to start a headlining tour at the end of this month. No word on whether that will be canceled.
Lambesis was taken into custody in Oceanside, near San Diego, said San Diego County Sheriff’s Department spokeswoman Jan Caldwell.
Police had previously learned Lambesis was looking for someone to carry out the killing, Caldwell said.
"The information came to us late last week. We acted quickly on it. I believe that we averted a great tragedy," she said.
Caldwell said the ongoing investigation prevented her from disclosing any details about why Lambesis might have wanted to have his wife killed or how police first learned about what they described as his murder plan.
Lambesis’ wife, Meggan, filed papers in San Diego Superior Court in September 2012 seeking a dissolution of marriage, according to an online court database.
Troy, OH metal act Miss May I have announced that they will be joining Killswitch Engage, As I Lay Dying and Affiance on a national tour from May 30-July 8.
Bassist Ryan Neff says, “It’s been a well known fact by our fans that one of the biggest influences on our band has always been Killswitch Engage, and now we have the opportunity to hit the road with them this summer! Add another one of our favorite bands: As I Lay Dying, and you have the recipe for one of the best tours we’ve ever been a part of. The summer can’t come fast enough.”
Prior to their stint on the Killswitch tour, the band will make appearances at the New England Metal and Hardcore Fest on April 21 in Worcester, MA and at Skate and Surf on May 19 in Freehold, NJ. On June 14, MMI will perform at the Amnesia Rockfest in Montebello, Canada with such acts as Deftones, Lamb of God, Biohazard and many more.
