Suicide Silence were founded in 2002 in Riverside (California) and were at that time, a side-project of many of the members of other groups. The band performed their first show at a local area within Riverside and at that time, the line-up consisted of the members Chris Garza and Rick Ash as guitarists, Mike Bodkins as bassist, Josh Goddard as drummer and two vocalists, Mitch Lucker and Tanner Womack. Shortly after their first performance, Womack was fired from the band and they released their first demo the following year. They released their second demo in 2003. After the replacement of Josh Goddard in 2004, the members took the band more seriously and were no-longer deemed as a side project. They would then advance to record their third and final demo in 2005. Following within 2005, the band released their first public release entitled, "Suicide Silence EP" which was released in the United Kingdom through Third Degree Records and later re-released through the English label.
Two years later, the band released their debut full-length album "The Cleansing" The album was recorded with Krissan Duwason, mixed by Tue Madsen, produced by John Travis and features artwork by Dave Mc Kean .
It debuted at number 94 on the Billboard 200 selling 7,250 copies the first week, and became one of the best-selling debut albums in Century Media history. With the success of their debut album, Suicide Silence were included to take part in Mayhem Festival that took place during the summer of 2008. They toured Europe with Parkway Drive and Bury Your Dead, following a successful US tour with the same bands. Also touring with Parkway Drive,A Day To Remember and The Acacia Strain in mid 2008 during the time when they were included to perform at Sweat Fest. At this point Suicide Silence were beginning to gain a wide range of fans throughout the world.
The arch "enemy" of puritan deathmetallers, american act Suicide Silence have reached the "love it or hate it status" faster than they should have although they have only been around for 6 years. But if you put aside the scene kids and the trend around their name you may discover fresh yet brutal music. So, this is their third album so far and the bar is already too high.
After 2 very successful full lengths and countless fans praising deathcore hymns like "The Price of Beauty" the youngsters bring us "The Black Crown" only to remain on top of the cream. Not much has changed, not much has been added to their style, yet with a strong frontman/throat they offer tunes to beat your friend to death and to destroy the neighbour’s garden statues. I think that what made them hit the spot is the fact they keep it simple. Their songs are short and straight forward, something you are bound to meet again in "The Black Crown". Groove, faster parts everything is weighed to the last details so the result is balanced and extremely catchy to the ear. On the other hand this could prove to be a kickback at some point. Repetetion, not daring enough can lead to boredom but this is just me running off too far..

It’s way too early to be talking about such a thing, though I think their next move will be a career defining one. The band is in a productive period and after a mediocre "No Time To Bleed" gains ground with a good newcomer, able to draw some attention to it. With a surprising guest appearance by Jonathan Davis from Korn on "Witness the Addiciton" and mosh anthems like "Fuck Everything" and "You Only Live Once", "The Black Crown" is destined to climb the charts sooner or later. We only need to see them on stage to have a first hand view of what today’s music can do. Oh, did I mention Frank Mullen(Suffocation)is here too? DIG!
