Watch Stitched Up Heart's powerful music video for "Monster" (exclusive)
Stitched Up Heart have teamed up with Alternative Press to premiere their new music video for “Monster.”
The single comes off Never Alone, which will be out June 17 via Another Century. You can pre-order the album here.
Monster was the first song Stitched Up Heart wrote for their new album, says vocalist Mixi Demner.
“The night before we went in the studio I was getting tattooed by my artist ‘Mr.Monster’ and he asked me to write a song for him. That's where the idea started. The next day, the producers, Merritt (our lead guitarist) and I met up to start the writing process,” she shares. “The studio was dark with spell books, herbs, spices and weird ritual stuff. There was an odd feeling that overcame me. Almost like a beast was ready to be set free. I'm not sure if it had anything to do with the environment, our determination to kill this record or the mass amounts of Monster Energy drinks I had that day but something came over me and was unleashed into the recording.”
Demner says the video shoot, which took place in a spooky building with a lot of history, ran very smoothly, but it definitely brought out something inside of her.
“I remember in between takes at one point I really felt possessed or something. There was a scene shot in a chamber I was looking around the room with a feeling like I had been in there forever and would never get out,” she says. “Maybe it's something about the song lyrics about releasing this beast inside of me that even in the live performance I feel overcome. Or maybe I really am a monster.”
