After spending nearly 10 years as one of the premier deathcore bands on the extreme metal circuit, SUICIDE SILENCE undergo a dramatic transformation with their latest album—and say “bring it on!” to anyone who questions their judgment.
VETERAN DEATHCORE BAND Suicide Silence started experimenting with aspects of nu-metal and experimental rock shortly after they finished touring for their 2014 album You Can’t Stop Me. And they began to solidify their new sound at the end of 2015, immediately after playing direct support to Korn on the band’s 20th anniversary tour. In early January, Suicide Silence revealed their revamped style to the public with the release of the single “Doris.” The frantic, mid-paced number is colored with a melodic chorus, textural tendrils of guitar and an echoing middle-section. It’s more unsettling than it is explosive and it’s pretty much a microcosm of their eclectic self-titled new album.
“We’re 100 percent gung-ho crazy about this record,” lead guitarist Mark Heylmun says over the phone from his home in Venice Beach, California. “We took a big risk making it and it comes from a different place emotionally that took a lot of courage and focus.”
Although it took Suicide Silence until 2017 to reveal their new musical facelift—three years after the release of their fairly conventional deathcore album You Can’t Stop Me—Heylmun and guitarist Chris Garza were initially motivated to alter the band’s course after the motorcycle accident that took the life of their vocalist and close friend Mitch Lucker on Halloween night, 2012.
“Seeing Mitch pass away in front of me gave me the clarity and purpose to continue with no fear and no boundaries,” says Garza. “I was the only band member in the hospital that night. Doctors were trying to stop the internal bleeding. He went through two surgeries in eight hours, but the bleeding wouldn’t stop and there was nothing anyone could do.”

Kittie - Guitarists Morgan Lander and Tara Mcleod discuss the canadian metal powerhouse's unexpected rebirth â by fire!
Guitarists Morgan Lander and Tara McLeod explain that making new music was ânot on their bingo cardâ when the band regrouped in 2022 for a few festival appearances, preferring to think of the sets as more of a âfinal lapâ than a new beginning. But drilling into old favorites â whether the nu-flavored teenage slams of 1999âs Spit or the more venomously groove-thrashed tunes of their late-â00s period â revealed that despite not having raged together in years, there was something undeniably special about Kittieâs musical connection. âPlaying with these girls is like putting on an old pair of pants,â Lander says. âItâs very comfortable â and it looks good too.â
McKinley James - Why all you really need is a guitar, a drummer and some serious low-end six-string skills
Nashville-based blues rocker McKinley James came flying out of the gate in 2022 with his Dan Auerbachproduced EP, Still Standing By. His momentum screeched to a halt, however, when his keyboardist split, leaving only him and his drummer, Jason Smay (who also happens to be his father). âFor a moment, I was like, âWhat are we going to do?â James says. âBut then I thought, âWell, other bands have succeeded as a duo. Maybe we can, too.â
