History

Suicide Silence were founded in 2002 in Riverside, California, by members Mitch Lucker and Chris Garza and performed their first show at a local area within Riverside and at that time the band consisted of the members Chris Garza and Josh Goddard as guitarists, Mike Bodkins as bassist, Alex Lopez as drummer and two vocalists, Mitch Lucker and Tanner Womack. Shortly after their first performance, Womback was fired from the band and the band released their first demo the following next year. They released their second demo in 2003 and their third in 2005. In 2005 the band released an EP entitled Suicide Silence EP. Two years later, the band released their first full-length album The Cleansing. The album was recorded with producer Krissan Duwason and mixed by Tue Madsen. The album debuted at number 94 on the Billboard 200, selling 7,250 copies the first week, and became the second best-selling artist debut in Century Media history.

Prior to signing to Century Media, the band released self-recorded demos in 2003 and 2004, and in late 2005 the group put out their first quality studio-recorded release entitled Suicide Silence EP which was released in the UK by Third Degree Records and later re-released by the English label In at the Deep End Records and in the US by SOS Records. The band were included to take part in Mayhem Festival that took place summer 2008. They toured Europe withParkway Drive and Bury Your Dead, following a successful US tour with the same bands.

Shortly before embarking on the Mayhem Festival, the band's MySpace profile title read "Suicide Silence (Is writing a new album)". On June 26, 2008, Mitch Lucker appeared on the Headbangers Ballblog podcast. In the interview, Mitch stated that the new album would be tracked as opposed to being recorded live, such as The Cleansing. The album was released on June 30, 2009, but was previewed on MySpace in the days leading up to the release. He also said the new album would "blow The Cleansing away". Machine was chosen by the band to be the producer of the album.

Suicide Silence began recording their second album entitled No Time to Bleed in February with producer Machine and engineer Will Putney. The band has been playing four new songs, entitled "No Time to Bleed", "Your Creations", "Lifted" and "Wake Up" from the upcoming album on their Cleansing the Nation tour, and the Music As A Weapon tour. In April they received the RevolverGolden God award for "Most Innovative Band" and performed at the awards show.

Suicide Silence announced a new tour they will embark on after the release of No Time to Bleed. The tour is from July 24 to September 9. On this year's annual "Pedal to the Metal" tour, Suicide Silence will be performing along with the bands Mudvayne, Black Label Society, Static-X,Bury Your Dead, and Dope.

Styles and influences

Suicide Silence perform a heavy metal style known as deathcore, which is a fusion between the two heavy metal musical styles metalcoreand death metal. The band perform this style as well as gain influences from several extreme musical genres such as black metal,grindcore, and mathcore. The mathcore elements can be seen in the speed changes of the band's music. The vocals of Mitch Lucker are frequently fluctuating between death growls and high-pitched screamed vocals used in black metal. The drumming is very fast-paced,grindcore influenced, and employs a liberal use of double bass drumming and blast beats.
