It’s been a long time coming, but MUGSHOT are finally back—and they didn’t just return, they came out swinging. Nearly a decade after dropping their debut Dull Boy, the San Jose metalcore bruisers have unleashed their monstrous sophomore album All The Devils Are Here, and it’s every bit as ferocious as fans were hoping for.
Out now via Pure Noise Records, the 12-track juggernaut isn’t just heavy—it’s unrelenting. Produced by Randy Leboeuf (Kublai Kahn, The Acacia Strain, Bad Omens), the album tears through a crushing blend of metal and hardcore that’s as precise as it is chaotic. Tracks like “Die In Fear,” “Skin the Rabbit,” and “Vale of Tears” pack serious punch, but it’s the title track, “All The Devils Are Here,” that cements the band’s return with a dark, adrenaline-fueled mission statement—and yes, there’s a new video for it too.
MUGSHOT aren’t interested in easing you into anything. From the moment the record starts, it grabs you by the collar and doesn’t let go. And maybe that’s the point. While their 2023 EP Cold Will took aim at external forces and systemic issues, this new full-length turns the lens inward. This time it’s personal. Vocalist Ringo Waterman, who joined the band just last year, brings a whole new level of rage and rawness to the mix, delivering gut-punch performances across the album. According to the band, All The Devils Are Here is the most collaborative they’ve ever been, and that energy bleeds through every note and lyric.
It’s clear that Mugshot hasn’t mellowed out with age—they’ve gotten sharper, heavier, and somehow even more intense. And with this record, they’re not just picking up where they left off—they’re torching the map and carving a new path entirely.
All The Devils Are Here is out now on Pure Noise Records. Listen to the full album and check out the wild new video for the title track—you’ve waited long enough.
