Suicide Silence Essentials

A Californian gang that helped thrust deathcore into the limelight, Suicide Silence brave line-up changes and, as their career has evolved, bold stylistic turns. Albums like 2009's No Time To Bleed emerged as a vital stronghold for the sub-genre, exchanging blasts and breakdowns for fearless thrash and doom metal twists. The band overcame the sudden loss of lead singer Mitch Lucker with ear-splitting determination, leaving assaultive death growls and piercing squeals to Eddie Hermida's capable chords. In a fresh adventure, they adopt sinuous nu-metal practices for their eponymous 2017 release.
