Suicide Silence guitarist discusses future

Suicide Silence guitarist Mark Heylmun has offered insights into the immediate future for the Los Angeles metallers.

Suicide Silence guitarist Mark Heylmun has offered insights into the immediate future for the Los Angeles metallers.


Heylmun appears non-committal and indifferent to the short-term state of the band, with the musician reflecting on the impact Mitch Lucker’s death has had on continuing as a group.


“Well the mindset right now is that none of us really have the energy after all of this. From going 150,000 miles per hour in the band, going to a different country every week and going at it so hard, then all of a sudden stopping. We don’t want to do anything. We don’t want to think about what we’re going to do. We want to chill out for a little bit and then if something happens, it happens, if it doesn’t, it doesn’t. It’s as simple as that,” Heylmun told Loudwire.
