SUICIDE SILENCE's HERNAN 'EDDIE' HERMIDA Wants Rapper TECH N9NE To Guest On Next Album

Kaaos TV conducted an interview with Hernan "Eddie" Hermida, vocalist for California deathcore masters SUICIDE SILENCE, before the band's August 5 performance at Nosturi in Helsinki, Finland. You can now watch the chat below. A couple of excerpts follow (transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET).

On SUICIDE SILENCE's plans for the follow-up to 2014's "You Can't Stop Me" album:

"We're coming to the end of how we feel our record cycle should go. Everybody's been really kind of on this new jamming tip. Everybody's been really picking up their instruments and going off and exploring different styles of music. Everybody's really excited to write another record right now, so we're gonna be doing that pretty soon."

On whether SUICIDE SILENCE has already begun writing material for the next album:

"We've already kind of started from scratch. There's a couple of riffs that have been tossed around that sound really good. Other than that, we're kind of looking to really get started once all the touring stops. Right now, we don't really have much time to sit down and just focus on a record. So, as soon as that happens, we will."

On possible guest musicians on the next SUICIDE SILENCE album:

"I've been talking a lot about having [independent hip-hop powerhouse] Tech N9ne on the next record. He's an incredible rapper, but, more than anything, I think he's a really good musician. I think it'd be really cool to have him, kind of, do a part — not just a rapping part, but, like, maybe write a keyboard part, or do a whole thing, you know what I mean? Like, come in and help us write… maybe help produce a song. It'd be also cool to, kind of, re-touch the whole rap-metal thing. It's something I always grew up with, and I feel like, in that era, the people who were rapping with metal weren't that good, you know what I mean? It was subpar rappers. It'd be cool to have a guy who's known for his crazy lyrics and his crazy styles, to have on the record."

"You Can't Stop Me", SUICIDE SILENCE's first album to feature Hermida and their first since the tragic loss of singer Mitch Lucker, was released in July 2014 via Nuclear Blast Entertainment.

"You Can't Stop Me" was produced and mixed by Steve Evetts (SEPULTURA, THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN),who worked with the band not only on "The Black Crown", but also on some instrumental demos for the new CD just prior to Lucker's death in the fall of 2012.

Mitch Lucker died November 1, 2012 after sustaining injuries in a motorcycle crash in Huntington Beach that Halloween night.
