With vocalist Hernan “Eddie” Hermida devoting some of his time to the resurgence of All Shall Perish as of late, it’s been relatively quiet in the Suicide Silence camp. That will soon change however, as the pioneering deathcore band are booked for this year’s ‘Milwaukee Metal Fest‘ in May and have also begun work on their follow-up to 2023’s “Remember… You Must Die“.
The group’s guitarist Chris Garza recently confirmed the news in an interview with Nik Nocturnal, which can be seen below. During that conversation, Garza revealed that his willingness to continually explore new bands and music have impacted his writing and performing. He stated:
“I am in Southern California so it’s like, I could… I’m lucky. I’m just going to all these shows. I’m seeing deathcore bands, new metalcore bands. I didn’t know who Alpha Wolf was until they they played a small venue down the street, I was like ‘okay, I’ll check it out.’
When you’re consistently putting new shit into your mind – could be music, could be books, learning – something happens to to your fucking brain where it forces you to be open-minded, and that causes a new form of being creative.”
“So now we started writing our new record two weeks ago, and I don’t know man. I’m playing different. It’s weird, I don’t know. I’m just like ‘oh, I wouldn’t normally do that.’
So it’s like, the self-titled backlash, being broke for a long time, plus also being inspired, plus the new bands really pushing me without them knowing. I don’t know. I can’t put my finger it. Something is happening.”
