Was it something you had been wanting to do for a long time or was it something that was suggested to you?Įlijah: Our management originally brought it up because they know what we are capable of and we were just sitting here thing that we could do weirder and weirder albums and trying different things here and there on our full lengths, and the original idea was to do a fully acoustic e.p with re-imagined songs and a cover and we didn’t really want to turn our songs into something they are not, but then we started writing and James was listening to a lot of The Weeknd and a lot of hip hop, we are always listening to Jar of Flies and Temple of the Dog, the whole grunge thing, so we got to thinking that instead of going back and redoing old stuff we decided to go all in and write a bunch of new material to see how it would turn out. Too Far Gone hasn’t even been out a year yet, but you are already dropping a new e.p ‘Kill The Sun’ so going from what was your heaviest work now into your lightest, where did the mindset come from to do something like this. We like you guys here, yet you still haven’t graced us with a headline tour…Įlijah: We have not… We want to make it really cool, if we are coming over to the UK to headline we want to make sure it’s done properly, with the perfect support and the perfect venues that we want to do it in where it’s big enough for a show but also it’s big enough where its disgusting and build it into something appropriate. We did a headliner in America which was much better than I expected, then coming over to the UK is a fucking blessing because for some reason you guys like us here. You get into a band thinking it’s going to be fun then you really get into it and it’s so much work and if you don’t stay active you get left in the fucking dust, so it’s been intense but very worth it and it’s gotten us to a very good place. With everything that has been going on have you have a moment to stop and take it all in?Įlijah: No, I don’t even remember the past 3 years of my life, it’s become one very bi blur of work work work. We live in a social media society where everybody wants everything now at least in America, here in the UK and Germany people are fans for life and they are if you put out things slowly they are happy to wait, but in America it’s just not like that. In generally really good, we like having content out. So how would you sum up the year that was 2018?Įlijah: A weird time. Since then you have played a massive hometown show with WWE for NXT, Put out a live album, toured a whole bunch and gone from releasing the heaviest music of your career to the softest. The Last time we saw you guys was at the beginning of 2018 with Motionless In White. We also discuss the potential for album number 3, acoustic only tours and which Creed song is his favourite… We were able to discuss what a great year 2018 was for the band with the success of their sophomore album ‘Too Far Gone’ as well as working with WWE and performing in an arena full of people in their hometown, touring, as well as the crafting of their killer new E.P ‘Kill the Sun’ as well as breaking down some of the lyrical themes and things that went into it and the public perception of the shift in sound. We were lucky enough to chat to band Vocalist Elijah Witt when they were in London last December. After an explosive debut in 2015 they have continued to grow from strength to strength releasing music of increasing confidence and quality. Cane Hill are one of the most dynamic and intriguing bands currently in heavy music.
