As previously announced,  the surviving members of SUICIDE SILENCE  will play a special show on  December 21 at the Fox theater in Pomona,  California as a tribute to  their late singer, Mitch Lucker. All  proceeds from the event will  go towards the education of Mitch's  five-year-old daughter, Kenadee  Lucker. The concert announcement was  made last night (Saturday, November  24) during the sixth annual  California Metalfest at the NOS Events  Center in San Bernardino,  California.
The band will be announcing the first batch of guests vocalists tomorrow (December 8th), so stay tuned!

The Heavy Music world was struck by the very sad news that Mitchell Adam Lucker passed away at the young age of 28 (More information HERE).     According to the Los Angeles Times, Lucker  struck a light pole near     the intersection of Main and 13th streets and  was thrown from his   2013   Harley Davidson. The motorcycle continued  sliding south on Main   Street   and struck a northbound 2007 Nissan Titan  pickup.
Speaking to the audience, SUICIDE SILENCE guitarist Mark Heylmun   said (see video HERE), "We fucking lost our brother; I'm sure you all   know that. We all miss him more than anything in the fucking world." 
The    remaining members of the band have set up a memorial fund for  Mitch   Lucker’s family following the singer’s tragic death last week.  Here is   their statement regarding this matter:
