Metal Anarchy

During a recent interview with TotalRock, Stitched Up Heart’s Alecia “Mixi” Demner and Merritt Goodwin offered an update on their upcoming album. According to Demner, the band are “already about 20 songs into the next record.”

Demner said the following:

“I think the more we create music, the happier we wanna go. Part of it is [Merritt Goodwin’s] fault, and my fault. ‘Cause I feel so brutal — I feel so brutal when I scream. But now the next record — we’re already about 20 songs into the next record. We’re just going for it. And I’m just, like, ‘Just write a breakdown after a breakdown after a breakdown.’”

Merritt continued:

“I grew up like listening to melodic death metal from Sweden and Finland and stuff. So, back in America when people are, like, ‘Oh yeah, this is metal,’ but it’s just, like, AC/DC or whatever, I’m, like, ‘No, no, man.’ We have to really, really downtune and do all the cool pedal notes and stuff. But yeah, so the next album, we’re just trying to get it the next step to go a little bit heavier and a little bit heavier. We’re just gonna continue to try to push that boundary a little bit.”

Demner also added:

“Yeah, we’re just writing [right now]. We were writing before the record came out. We were ready. [Merritt’s] super inspired, and we’ve got a home studio set up. And so we’re just having all the pre-production done now. We haven’t decided on a full-on producer yet, but as soon as we figure out who’s gonna fully produce the record, then we’re just gonna go for it.”
