Suicide Silence

Unlike many of their deathcore peers, Suicide Silence has never tempered their pummeling attack with anything but more pummeling. They don’t wink at the audience, they haven’t turned to mind-bending technicality, and they don't throw gimmicks on their sound to sell tickets. This kind of single-minded performance and attention to self-improvement is what has garnered them two Golden God awards for “Most Innovative Band” and “Best New Talent.” Squealing guitars, frequent tempo changes and punishing breakdowns are all driven forward by Mitch Lucker’s increasingly impressive and controlled voice.
