SUICIDE SILENCE Become The First Band To Ink Deal With Monte Conner's NUCLEAR BLAST ENTERTAINMENT - Statement Available!

One of the hardest working bands in Heavy Music, SUICIDE SILENCE, have inked a deal with Nuclear Blast Entertainment, the NEW division of Nuclear Blast formed by Nuclear Blast owner Markus Staiger and former Roadrunner A&R chief Monte Conner. Here is what the bands guitarist Mark Heylmum had to say about this historic moment:

"I and all of SUICIDE SILENCE are proud to announce that we have signed a worldwide deal with the one and only Nuclear Blast. It wasn't a tough decision; Nuclear Blast has been a huge part of Heavy Metal for decades and we couldn't be happier. This is a NEW beginning for us and we're ready as all hell! Let Chapter 2 begin now!"

"I am beyond stoked to be signing to the sickest of all Heavy Metal record labels," added SUICIDE SILENCE bassist Dan Kenny. "It has been a dream of mine since I was a youngster with Nuclear Blast posters on my bedroom wall."

"I've been following SUICIDE SILENCE since their debut album and immediately grew to love their music," commented Staiger. "I knew we had to work with this amazing band and today is the day to finally welcome one of the most brutal bands on Earth to the Nuclear Blast family. The next SUICIDE SILENCE album will no doubt push boundaries once again."

"I am thrilled to have such an innovative and unique band like SUICIDE SILENCE as the first signing to Nuclear Blast Entertainment," added Conner. "Even though I was totally blown away by their last album, 'The Black Crown', I am certain the band's best music is still ahead of them."

Nuclear Blast North American label manager Gerardo Martinez concluded: "It's pretty amazing when you hear SUICIDE SILENCE talk about the Nuclear Blast bands they love. It puts all of us on the same level — we are all music fans here. Super stoked to be a part of history with this Californian bunch!"

SUICIDE SILENCE's Nuclear Blast Entertainment debut is tentatively scheduled for a summer 2013 release.

We recently chatted with SUICIDE SILENCE's vocalist Mitch Lucker about the bands NEW music. Here is what went down.

SUICIDE SILENCE's Mitch Lucker Discusses The "All Stars Tour", Bands Recipe For Success & Reveals NEW Album Plans!

Recently, SUICIDE SILENCE headlined the "All Stars Tour" at New York City's Irving Plaza in front of a sold out audience. The Calfornian Metallers proved yet again why they are one of the torch bearers within the Extreme Metal world. It is always evident that the explosiveness they demonstrate every time they get on stage is that keeps this young band rising upon the bands that try to "borrow" their signature sound. It is very hard to find a band with as much energy as SUICIDE SILENCE and lets not forget the intensity behind their vulgar display of music.

Prior to the bands performance in front of 1000+ fans, we had the chance to chat with SUICIDE SILENCE's frontman Mitch Lucker. During the conversation, which you can watch below, we discussed the "All Stars Tour", the bands recipe for success and their upcoming NEW album! Without further due, crank the volume and keep supporting Metal!



As previously reported, SUICIDE SILENCE has announced that they will be part of the "Monster Energy Drink OUTBREAK tour" along with ASKING ALEXANDRIA, AS I LAY DYING, MEMPHIS MAY FIRE and ATTILA. Right after the band made the announcement, their fans started bashing the bands decision to be part of this "main stream" tour. Here is what the band members had to say about this:

"Since we've already received some "hating" in relation to the rumors of this tour, let's just clarify something right quick. There are a million different factors that go into why bands choose to participate in certain tours. Quite frankly, there's no band we're afraid to tour with and we look forward to partying with each of these bands as well as all of our fans in every town we hit this Fall. If you're a true fan and happen to not like one of our tour packages, then just come out the next time we're in town. There's no sense in wasting your time on the internet complaining about our tour choices...

"Now without further do, BRING ON THE OUTBREAK!!"

In case you missed this: Mitch Lucker shattered his elbow so bad that his "not so funny bone" penetrated his skin. Mitch is known for his commitment to Heavy Music, and proved by performing the bands full set in Odessa, Texas with a shattered elbow.

Following this incident, Lucker was hospitalized this weekend after reportedly developing an infection related to his recently broken elbow. The singer is expected to fully recover.

SUICIDE SILENCE is currently seeking a NEW label home while continuing to write material for its next album, tentatively due in early 2013.

Stay tuned for more SUICIDE SILENCE news!
