Regarding the new album
Sharon said in a recent interview that they are finished writing demos and are now heading towards production. She also stated that the album is going to be a complete 180, that there is no album that sounds like this and that it is a whole new genre.
Now, this sparked my curiosity like never before!
I am sure that they will keep heading in the similar direction that they took with Bleed Out. She talks about the world going to hell and all the thoughts and emotions they put into their music.
Bleed Out was also a lot heavier than anything they did in the past, and both the critics and the audience LOVED IT. The reviews were fire! She also mentioned metalcore as an influence quite a few times over the last couple of years.
Them being as old and popular as they are now, they accumulated a large audience all over the world which resulted in them headlining almost every festival they plat at. This means a lot of metalheads who are expecting a lot of heavy music.
So, I believe that it is safe to say that the new album will be heavy, djenty and powerful.
What are your thoughts?
Edit: She also talks about THOE being the absolute pinnacle of their symphonic sound and how they wanted to cut back on the symphonic aspect of their music afterwards because everything started to sound overly crowded to them. So I do not believe that the new stuff will be symphonic at all.
