Since their inception in 2004, the Riverside, CA quintet SUICIDE SILENCE have worked feverishly to carve out their own unique niche within the metal scene and in doing so they developed an undeniable buzz with legions of diehard supporters.

Their latest album No Time To Bleed, was recorded with acclaimed producer Machine (Lamb Of God).

Suicide Silence started in late 2002 as a side project for its members who were all involved in other local bands at the time. Things didn’t get serious, however, until 2004, when the current lineup was solidified. “Early on we were slower and sludgier,” explains drummer Josh Goddard, “but through a few member changes the sound became more powerful and energetic.” This mix of musicians brought together their influences—death metal, grindcore, black metal, hardcore, doom—and combined them into songs that are complex without being mystifying, and savagely fast and explosive without becoming a featureless blur.

Their debut 5-song EP for Third Degree Records is a brutal testament to the sort of damage Suicide Silence is capable of inflicting. Though definitely rooted in what Goddard calls a “fast-paced death metal style,” it defies that genre’s sometimes predictable conventions, striving instead for something more unique. The songs are dynamic and crushing, shifting effortlessly from insane grind chaos into total molten sludge, with plenty of dynamic twists and turns along the way. Vocalist Mitch Lucker screams, growls and grunts over an ungodly guitar assault, while the band’s surgically precise rhythm section handles the disorienting time signatures and snail-paced grooves with equal efficiency.
