Formation, debut EP and The Cleansing (2002–2008)
Suicide Silence were founded in 2002 in Riverside, California and were at that time, a side-project of many of the members of other groups. The band performed their first show at a local area within Riverside and at that time, the line-up consisted of the members Chris Garza and Mark Heylmun as guitarists, Mike Bodkins as bassist, Josh Goddard as drummer and two vocalists, Mitch Lucker and Tanner Womack. Shortly after their first performance, Womack was fired from the band and they released their first demo the following year. They released their second demo in 2003. After the replacement of Josh Goddard in 2004, the members took the band more seriously and were no-longer deemed as a side project. They would then advance to record their third and final demo in 2005. Following within 2005, the band released their first public release entitled, Suicide Silence EP which was released in the United Kingdom through Third Degree Records and later re-released through the English label In at the Deep End Records and in the US through SOS Records.[1]
Two years later, the band signed to Century Media[2] and released their debut full-length album The Cleansing. The album was recorded with Krissan Duwason, mixed by Tue Madsen, produced by John Travis and features artwork by Dave McKean. It debuted at number 94 on the Billboard 200,[3] selling 7,250 copies the first week, and became one of the best-selling debut albums in Century Media history.[4] With the success of their debut album, Suicide Silence were included to take part in Mayhem Festival that took place during the summer of 2008.

No Time to Bleed (2008–present)
Shortly before embarking on Mayhem Festival, Suicide Silence's MySpace profile title read "Suicide Silence (Is writing a new album)", which was the first indication of ensuring the upcoming of their second album. On June 26, 2008, Mitch Lucker appeared on the Headbangers Ball blog podcast. In the interview, Lucker stated that the album would be recorded through tracks as opposed of being recorded live, such as The Cleansing. He also said the new album would "blow The Cleansing away". Machine was chosen by the band to be the producer of the album. The title for it was revealed as being No Time to Bleed.[6]
Suicide Silence began recording No Time to Bleed in February with producer Machine and engineer Will Putney.[7] During Music as a Weapon as well as the band's Cleansing the Nation tour, they began to perform the songs "No Time to Bleed", "Your Creations", "Lifted" and "Wake Up" months before the release of the album. In April they received the Revolver Golden God award for "Most Innovative Band" and performed at the awards show.[8]

The album peaked at #32 on the Billboard 200,[11] selling 14,000 copies in the first week in the United States alone.[12][13] The opening track from the album, "Wake Up" was released as a digital download-only EP which includes the original song, a live performance of it and a remix handled by Shawn Crahan of Slipknot. A music video was produced for the song as well and made its debut premiere on Fearnet.[14][15] "Genocide" was released as the album's second single.

Styles and influences
Suicide Silence perform an extreme metal musical style known as deathcore,[25][26][27] which is a fusion between death metal and metalcore.[28][29] The band perform this style as well as gain influences from several other extreme musical genres such as black metal, grindcore, and mathcore.[30] The mathcore elements can be seen in the varied speed changes and complex time signatures in the band's music.
^allmusic.com Alex Henderson: "What is deathcore? ...it's essentially metalcore... Drawing on both death metal and hardcore..."
^lambgoat.com "This is deathcore. This is what happens when death metal and hardcore, along with healthy doses of other heavy music styles, are so smoothly blended..."
The band were originally signed to Thirty Days of Night Records and were the first band to be signed to that label.
They released their debut album Count Your Blessings in October 2006 in the United Kingdom and in August 2007 in the United States.
Bring Me the Horizon recorded their second studio album Suicide Season in Sweden with Fredrik Nordström. The album was released in September 2008.
While on tour in the United Kingdom allegations were made against vocalist Oliver Sykes that he urinated upon and then assaulted a female fan after a gig at Nottingham Rock City when she allegedly refused his sexual advances. Sykes was subsequently charged with urinating on the fan, but not with physical assault.[12] Online music zine Drowned In Sound claimed that Bring Me The Horizon were banned from Nottingham Rock City.[13] However the band's label Visible Noise denied these rumors and the band subsequently played Nottingham Rock City on 1 December 2007.[14]
On 13 April, Sykes appeared in Nottingham Magistrates Court on a charge of common assault relating to the alleged incident, to which he pleaded not guilty. The case was adjourned until early May.[15] On 3 May 2007 Sykes attended Nottingham Magistrates court for the second time and confirmed his not guilty plea. The case was adjourned again until 17 September.[16] Due to lack of evidence, all charges against Sykes were dropped.[17]
During a tour, Bring Me the Horizon and Architects filmed a video showing a staged fight between Oliver Sykes and Architects' lead singer Sam Carter. The video was uploaded to YouTube and outraged many Bring Me the Horizon fans, causing many to send hate mail towards Carter, whom later made it clear in an interview with Kerrang! that the whole thing was a joke, as did Sykes.[18]
