SUICIDE SILENCE Prepares For "Rockstar Energy Mayhem" Tour
One of the extreme metal genre’s most talked about new bands, SUICIDE
SILENCE, just completed a sold-out European trek with Parkway Drive and
Bury Your Dead. The group will make their triumphant return to the U.S.
in early July as part of the summer’s most anticipated tour, “Rockstar
Energy Mayhem,” alongside Slipknot, Disturbed and Machine Head, among a
slew of others. A slew of off-dates have also been scheduled as well so
be sure to either see below or visit

to view their complete touring
schedule.
Chris Garza (guitars) further comments: “We are happy to be home and
take it easy after a few weeks of European madness. Every night was
fucking killer. A huge thank you to all that went ape shit at the shows.
Parkway Drive and Bury your Dead were a blast to tour with and it seemed
to be the perfect package for us. We will take the month of June to
begin writing for our next album. Lots of crazy ideas are flying around.
Then get ready to get your face bashed in after a full day of metal at
the Mayhem tour with Slipknot! They have been one of my favorite bands
since I was in junior high so it’s gonna be a good time. Come out to
hang and drink some beers with us. See you all in July.”
Garza and Mark Heylmun (guitars) are currently featured in Guitar World
that has Dan Donegan (Disturbed) on the cover, which hits stands next
week. Garza recently completed a series of instructional videos for
YouTube and in the first episode he breaks down how to play
“Unanswered,” in addition to going over his guitar rig setup. Click the
