Los Angeles rock band Stitched Up Heart has shared the new single “Cannibal,” featuring Heidi Shepherd of Butcher Babies, out now via Judge & Jury Records. The song is from Stitched Up Heart’s fourth album, “Medusa,” due June 12, 2026; pre-order/pre-save it here.
“‘Cannibal’ is a song for the man-eaters, to all of the baddies stealing hearts and eating them for breakfast,” Stitched Up Heart vocalist Alecia “Mixi” Demner said. “I was at Butcher Babies’ very first show. Crammed on the stairs at a dive bar on the sunset strip. Heidi hurled this wrecked Barbie into the crowd. Hair hacked off, totally mangled. I caught it. Looking back at that moment it felt like she’d passed me a torch. ‘Hey girl, let’s conquer this industry together.’ Years later, we’re still at it cheering each other on from the sidelines. Collaborating on this song together is such a fulfilling moment.”
Shepherd said: “I’ve been a big fan of Mixi and Stitched Up Heart for nearly two decades. We’ve clawed our way through this industry together, and had each other’s back when no one else did. After all of these years, it’s so fitting that ‘Cannibal’ is the song that we finally get to scream together! This song is so fun, and has quickly become one of my favorite collabs that I’ve been a part of. You can tell by the video that we had an absolute blast making it. I can’t wait to see what else SUH has in store of us fans in the future!”
Stitched Up Heart is on tour now with Sebastian Bach and will support Infected Rain on the road later this spring. Since forming in 2010, the band has released three albums—“Never Alone” (2016), “Darkness” (2019) and “To the Wolves” (2023).
Beyond the stage, Demner uses her platform to advocate for more women in rock and metal while actively volunteering with multiple animal rescue organizations throughout Southern California.
