Metal Anarchy

During a recent interview with Meltdown of Detroit’s WRIF, Shinedown bassist Eric Bass offered an update on the band’s next album. According to him, the group are “super, super excited about” the effort.

Bass said the following:

“We’ve already recorded and produced a couple of songs — well, a handful of songs — already for it. [We’re] half to two thirds [done writing and recording], maybe. We still have some writing left to do.

We’re doing this one a little bit differently where we are kind of tracking as we go somewhat. So we’ll get some stuff written and then we’ll track a few songs, and then we’ll get some more stuff written and track a few songs. Usually we wait until everything’s compiled and then we start tracking, but we decided to try it a little differently this time.

I don’t know if I’d do it again. It’s a little difficult on the brain to switch gears from writing to producing back to writing. For me, I’m very process driven, so the process of writing, for me and my brain, is way different than the process of engineering and producing and that sort of thing. So, I think that just for my own sanity, I would go back to the way we’ve done it in the past the next time. But that being said, it’s gonna make a very interesting record. And we’re super, super excited about the next Shinedown record.”
