Suicide Silence’s Eddie Hermida says their forthcoming self-titled album is a “statement.”
It’s their second release with the frontman following the death of Mitch Lucker in 2012. Hermida debuted on 2014’s You Can’t Stop Me – and he says this record has cemented his status as a fully-fledged member of the group.
He tells Rockwell Unscene: “We’re extremely excited. The band is taking a freight train that has been moving at 200 miles an hour and turning the wheel completely left. And we’re hoping to see the aftermath.
“The jacket is on, it’s on. I can’t wait to bring this out. This is a real statement of who I am, who the band is, and where we come from.”

Hermida says working with producer Ross Robinson, who has overseen records by Korn, Slipnot and Sepultura, has brought out a “fearlessness” in the band which wasn’t there before.
He adds: “There’s also a comfort in obscurity that we didn’t have before. It’s one of those deals where it’s, like, everything that could potentially go wrong is what I want. And I can’t wait for all the beautiful comments that are gonna be coming, all the beautiful words that people have to say.”
