SUICIDE SILENCE's critically acclaimed debut offering, "The Cleansing", has SoundScanned an impressive 70,000 units in the USA to date. The band themselves were hailed by Alternative Press as "one of the 100 bands you need to know about".
There is little doubt in anyone's minds that SUICIDE SILENCE are one of the frontrunners of the new wave of American metal, a statement further validated as the group won the "Best New Talent" Award at the inaugural Revolver Golden Gods Awards, held at Club Nokia in Los Angeles on April 7th, 2009. The group was also hailed as the event's breakthrough artist by the LA Times, but make no mistake that this extreme juggernaut is not resting on their laurels and are about to take things up a notch with their highly anticipated sophomore release, "No Time To Bleed", which was produced by the acclaimed Machine (Lamb Of God, Mindless Self Indulgence, 18 Visions, Clutch) at his studio, The Machine Shop, in New Jersey.
The voracious "No Time To Bleed" provides a substantial wake up call to the masses giving today's youth an outlet to vent their everyday frustrations. SUICIDE SILENCE can identify with their fans and know what struggles they face in today's society. The album showcases a more mature band coming into their own, ultimately paving a new path throughout the metal genre unique all unto itself that can't be replicated.
This is the future of extreme music that is brutal, genuine and simply undeniable.
Mitch Lucker (vocals) states: "There is absolutely no doubt that this is our strongest album to date. We've all grown quite a bit as musicians over the last few years. The last record was tracked in a live setting over a period of two weeks and this time around we've carefully crafted a record on an even larger scale with Machine's services at the helm. This is a huge step in the right direction for us."
As the inaugural 'Rockstar Energy Mayhem' Festival came to a close in the summer of 2008 there was no doubt in anyone's mind that SUICIDE SILENCE emerged as one of the event's breakthrough artists. The buzz from this tour ultimately became the launching pad for the band's current success. The group struck a nerve with fans who are hungry for sheer, unrelenting aggression that pummels the listener with an unabashed mixture of brutality, precision and technicality.
SUICIDE SILENCE spent 2008 mainly on the road, toured Europe with Behemoth as well as Parkway Drive and Bury Your Dead, embarked on the aforementioned 'Rockstar Energy Mayhem' US tour with Slipknot and Disturbed, headlined the Summer Slaughter UK/Europe tour with As Blood Runs Black, Abigail Williams etc. and went to Australia the past December.
They kicked off 2009 the same way as direct US support to the legendary Carcass that was immediately followed up with the lengthy 'Music As A Weapon IV' North American tour alongside such genre titans as Disturbed, Killswitch Engage, Chimaira and labelmates Lacuna Coil, among others. SUICIDE SILENCE plan to stay active throughout 2009 and will be following this tour up with a trek alongside metal elite Slayer and Behemoth in North America. The European live-debut of "No Time To Bleed" will be at the prestigious Download Festival, UK with a whole lot more shows being planned right now.
Upon their inception in 2004, the Riverside, CA quintet have worked feverishly to carve out their own unique niche within the metal scene and in doing so have developed an undeniable buzz with legions of diehard supporters. With "The Cleansing", the group delivered one of the most scathing debut albums the metal genre has yet to bear witness to in years, adhering to no preconceived notions and refusing to be pigeonholed into any specific genre. The juxtaposition of each member's talents creates an explosive, yet exciting result that is sure to keep the entire scene on their toes and wondering just what is coming next.
