With hangovers still raging from last week’s Metal Hammer Golden Gods Awards, where The Defiled scooped the Best New Band award, London’s saviours of alternative metal have revealed that they will begin work on the follow up to last year’s 'Grave Times' album this summer.
Funding the album themselves via a campaign with Pledge music, the band fly to Audiohammer studios in Florida this summer to record with Jason Suecof, whose work with the likes of Trivium, All That Remains, Chimaira, Devildriver and The Black Dahlia Murder has made him one of the most sought-after producers in metal.
"I remember a few years back I stumbled across a Bury Your Dead album called 'Beauty And The Breakdown' which had the most insane guitar tone I'd ever heard.” Explains frontman Stitch D. “Ever since then we've been trying to emulate that kinda production ourselves. When given the opportunity to choose the producer for our next record there was no question about it. We wanted Jason Suecof. The albums he had done in the past had the sound that we wanted.
“I met with him last year at his studio, audiohammer where we discussed doing a record. As well as being a talented dude he's also one of the funniest guys I've ever met.
"Nice as he is, the man is going to want paying at the end of it all, so we really need your support with our Pledge campaign. We're just over halfway, with just over half of our target to meet, so this is a Call To Arms for our fans to dig deep and help us out - we promise you we will deliver an album that will make you proud to have been a part of, and we can't wait for you to hear our new songs!"
