Memphis May Fire's Rise Records Debut "The Hollow" Lands at #1 on Billboard's Heatseekers Chart.

The band's first tour kicks off May 7 in St Louis, MO.

Memphis May Fire’s Rise Records debut The Hollow is the #1 album on this week’s Billboard Heatseekers chart (http://www.billboard.com/charts/heatseekers-albums?order=gainer#/charts/heatseekers-albums?order=gainer).

The Dallas, TX based rock act has pushed the envelope to redefine both themselves and the various sub-genres they’ve made their mark with.

Their music can be found on the Saw VI Soundtrack and DVD/Blu-Ray releases. Subsequent touring with the likes of Asking Alexandria, From First To Last, and Alesana brought their music to the masses and established the band as a live performance must-see.

Following well-received releases on Trustkill & Bullet Tooth, domestic/international touring success (featuring the band’s first visit to Japan) and a tag as one of Revolver Magazine’s “Top 25 Under 25,” the band recently found a new home at Rise Records which released their latest full-length, The Hollow on April 26. This move continues to broaden the band’s reach and welcomes a new world of possibilities within the scope of their burgeoning career. MMF’s high-octane live show acts as a testament to their ever-increasing identity and always leaves the audience wanting more.

Memphis May Fire wraps up the Hollow Tour this week and immediately begins a stint as headliner on the first-ever Rise Records Tour, which kicks off May 7 in St. Louis, MO.
