Suicide Silence, the Riverside-rooted heavy metal band who lost singer Mitch Lucker last year in a motorcycle accident, has announced that the band will go on with a new singer.
The band posted on its official Facebook page “Suicide Silence will continue” with a link to a clip of “You Only Live Once” with the band’s new singer.
However, the band has yet to announce who the new singer is. Metal site Lambgoat has been tipped that Eddie Hermida from All Shall Perish will be Suicide Silence’s the new vocalist.
Hermida performed with the band at the memorial show for Lucker at the Pomona Fox last December. He did “Slaves to Substance” with the band. You can see the performance below. WARNING: There’s plenty of explicit language in the video.
Suicide Silence fans, what do you think? Does the new singer have the chops that Lucker had? Do you think that the band should continue as Suicide Silence or change the name? Are you excited for new music? Let us know in the comments below.
