Interview by Angela Croudace
With their recent ninth studio album Another Miracle, Of Mice & Men stepped boldly into their next era—one defined by emotional depth, creative freedom, and an unshakeable bond with their fans. A band who have never shied away from the unconventional, Of Mice & Men continued on their own trajectory, unbound by laws, rules, or expectations.
“When you come to an Of Mice & Men show, you’re there with family,” drummer Arteaga Valentino said during his chat with HEAVY.
And that family connection is set to reignite Down Under next week, when Australian fans – or family – have the opportunity to witness the spectacle of Of Mice & Men live when they tour with Japanese genre-blurring heavyweights Crystal Lake for what promises to be an explosive run of shows.
Check out the full interview as Artega talks more about the tour, what to expect, their recent album Another Miracle and more.
