SUICIDE SILENCE Completes Nile Tour; Posts New Drum Lesson Video Online
One of the extreme metal genre’s most talked about new bands, SUICIDE
SILENCE, just completed a very successful North American trek as direct
support to Nile, which leads them directly into a European tour with
Parkway Drive and Bury Your Dead next week. SUICIDE SILENCE will make
their triumphant return to the U.S. in July as part of the summer’s most
anticipated tour, Rockstar Energy Mayhem, alongside Slipknot, Disturbed
and Machine Head, among a slew of others. Be sure to visit

to view their complete touring
schedule.
Chris Garza (guitars) further comments: “We are happy to be home and
take it easy after a straight month of brutality with Nile. Every night
was fucking killer. A huge thank you to all that went ape shit at the
shows. Parkway Drive and Bury your Dead starts next week! We look
forward to the 12 hour plane ride and getting trashed. Just to fill
everyone in, 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.”
The young drumming phenom Alex Lopez continues to turn heads as he
annihilates the kit with sheer aggression, speed and precision. He just
completed a series of instructional videos for YouTube and in the first
episode he breaks down how to differentiate blast beats while explaining
certain parts of the track “No Pity For A Coward.” Click below to check
it out.
