SUICIDE SILENCE kicks off the holiday season headlining the Santa Slays tour, which also features THE FACELESS, LIGHT THIS CITY and OBLIGE.

This week-long run of California kicks off on December 26th and culminates with a massive New Years Eve show at Soma in San Diego. Visit this location for their complete touring itinerary.

Mitch Lucker (vocals) states: “Hey everybody, we’re definitely stoked to be back home after 3 back-to-back tours had kept us out on the road for what seemed like forever. However, touring with bands such Despised Icon, Winds of Plague, Unearth, Darkest Hour, A Life Once Lost, Walls of Jericho, etc., provided us with some of the best experiences of our lives. We’re extremely thankful for all of the great bands we’ve recently toured with and are pleased to announce that we’ll be doing a week’s worth of holiday headlining dates in California between Christmas and New Years. This includes a long overdue appearance at the Showcase Theatre in Corona, which is the venue that really got things started for our band. We expect these shows to be some of craziest we’ve played in awhile so please come out and enjoy the holidays with us on the Santa Slays tour!”

Suicide Silence have plenty of reasons to celebrate after having an extremely successful 2007 which saw their debut album, The Cleansing, enter the Billboard Top 200 chart at #94, their video for 'The Price Of Beauty' get officially banned by MTV and perform over an unprecedented 150 shows throughout North America alone.

Suicide Silence also recently shot a new video for the track 'Bludgeoned To Death' with acclaimed director David Brodsky (GWAR, THE RED CHORD). The clip is set to capture the band’s unrelenting, frenetic stage energy and look for it to make its online debut early next year.

Feel free to visit the band’s official YouTube page (www.youtube.com/suicidesilence) to view the banned 'Price of Beauty' video and for other exclusive video content. Stay tuned to the page for extensive drum and guitar video lesson series, which will be posted early next year.
