Suicide Silence is a deathcore band that originated from Riverside, California, in 2002. Known for their aggressive blend of extreme metal and hardcore punk, the band has carved out a significant place in the heavy music scene. The group was formed by vocalists Mitch Lucker and Tanner Womack, guitarist Chris Garza, drummer Josh Goddard, and bassist Mike Bodkins. Womack and Goddard were later replaced by vocalist Eddie Hermida and drummer Alex Lopez, respectively, and the lineup expanded with the addition of guitarist Mark Heylmun and bassist Dan Kenny.

The band achieved recognition with their debut album, "The Cleansing," in 2007, which at the time was one of the best-selling debut albums in Century Media history. Tragedy struck in 2012 when original frontman Mitch Lucker died in a motorcycle accident. Despite this loss, the band continued with Eddie Hermida (formerly of All Shall Perish) taking on vocal duties. In their subsequent releases, they have continued to push the boundaries of their sound and lyrical content, addressing existential themes and personal struggles.

Throughout their career, Suicide Silence has faced both critical acclaim and controversy, often due to their raw, unfiltered approach to music and performance. They are known for their intense live shows and profound connection with their audience. Their catalog remains a staple in the metal community, with their relentless innovation and dedication to their craft. Their most recent works, including singles like "Death Smiles," "Remember... You Must Die," and "Dying Life," signal a band that remains unflinching in the face of adversity, continuing to expand their influence and legacy in the metal world.
