After roughly 15 years in California deathcore band SUICIDE SILENCE, drummer Alex Lopez has exited the group.
The following statement has been issued:
“Suicide Silence and our longtime drummer, Alex Lopez, have mutually agreed to part ways. We wish him nothing but the best moving forward and encourage you all to follow his future endeavors in both music and visual arts. Our good friend, Ernie Iniguez (who recorded drums on ‘Become The Hunter’) will be drumming with us on the upcoming ‘Chaos & Carnage’ tour and European festival run. That all said, we’ll be premiering a new single next week (Alex’s final studio performance with the band) called ‘Thinking In Tongues’ that we’re very excited for you all to hear. It will be premiering on SiriusXM Liquid Metal on May 3rd with a full digital release and music video on May 4th.”
