On May 29, 2026– Metalcore band from North Carolina; Ghost Choir released their brand new single “Make Me Believe” ft Jeremy DePoyster of The Devil Wears Prada. Within seconds of the song starting; it gives nostalgic metalcore energy that helps us relive the early 2000’s when we first fell in love with certain bands in the genre. And with the single having a featured artist that we all grew up listening to as teenagers made myself realize that nostalgic metalcore will be relevant in modern times. “Make Me Believe” is emotionally charged with harmonic vocals with an infectious rhythm that makes the single feel so familiar. The transitions between the melodic and harsher vocals showcases how dynamic the vocalist can be.
“Make Me Believe” is a single that truly represents that you need to be confident in choices that you make in life. Trusting your decisions and embracing the reality of life that holds so much uncertainty and broken fragments. The instrumentation in “Make Me Believe” captures the emotional turmoil and creates an atmospheric soundscape that resembles the difficulty with choosing what’s the best for you
