I’m still rattled from the news of Mitch Lucker’s passing. The last interview I did with him was just before the kickoff of the 2011 Mayhem Festival.
The first date for that jaunt was in Devore/San Bernardino at San Manuel Amphitheater (previously known as Glen Helen Pavilion), just when Suicide Silence’s most recent full-length, “The Black Crown” was coming out.
Rodrigo Peña photographed the band that day and got some amazing photos of Lucker doing what he loved, rocking out and bringing people to a frenzy.
We just put up the photos from that show and I wanted to share them. Click here or on the photo below to go to the gallery. If you have photos that you want to share from seeing Mitch and Suicide Silence over the years, send them to vfranko@pe.com and I’ll happily post them.
Mitch Lucker, from Suicide Silence, died Thursday, Nov. 1.
