SUICIDE SILENCE Completes NILE Tour, Posts New Drum Lesson Video

April 14, 2008

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 summers most anticipated tour, Rockstar Energy Mayhem, alongside SLIPKNOT, DISTURBED and MACHINE HEAD, among a slew of others.

Commented guitarist Chris Garza: "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".
