Mitch Lucker's Death Saved Suicide Silence From Destruction

(TeamRock Radio) Suicide Silence guitarist Mark Heylmun says that the death of frontman Mitch Lucker in 2012 brought the rest of the band back from the brink of destruction.

He admits their drink and drug abuse was completely out of control - and only the frontman's fatal motorcycle crash forced them to face the danger they were in.

Haylmun tells AltPress: "There was a whole hell of a lot going on prior to Mitch's passing. We couldn't have been more unprepared. The lines had blurred between our lives on tour and at home.

"Somewhere inside I knew we'd all gone over the line. We were all doing crazy sh*t. I was concerned for other people in my band - but I didn't feel like I could confront anyone without being a hypocrite."

He describes his bandmate's death as "super-traumatic" and says he was still in shock while putting Lucker's memorial show together. Read about that here.
