History Trivia / SuicideSilence

* DearNegativeReader: The band's response to criticism of their self-titled album was quite angry, with Alex infamously attacking critiques on the band's Facebook and Eddie's own snarky commentary. It is generally agreed that this is one of the reasons why the album bombed as hard as it did; leaving a sour taste in people's mouths is ''not'' a good way to sell an already-controversial release, and even the people who actually liked the album generally can agree that they fucked up horribly here.

* DearNegativeReader: The band has enforced this ''hard'' with the release of the self titled, Alex infamously attacking critiques on the band's Facebook and Eddie's own snarky commentary.

* GenrePopularizer: During the Website/MySpace era's peak, Suicide Silence was easily the face of deathcore at the time, and their appearance at the inaugural Mayhem Fest did wonders for the band and the genre. If it wasn't for ''The Cleansing,'' ''[[Music/BringMeTheHorizon Count Your Blessings,]]'' ''[[Music/{{Whitechapel}} The Somatic Defilement,]]'' ''[[Music/JobForACowboy Doom,]]'' ''[[Music/AllShallPerish The Price of Existence,]]'' ''[[Music/DespisedIcon The Ills of Modern Man,]]'' As Blood Runs Black's ''Allegiance'', and Born of Osiris's ''The New Reign'', it's doubtful deathcore would have taken off like it did.

* HostilityOnTheSet: This was apparently the case with Alex Lopez, as Chris Garza compared their relationship with him to [[Music/{{Deicide}} Glen Benton's]] relationship with the Hoffman brothers on a podcast, and alluded to him being a generally difficult, unpleasant, and unprofessional person who they tolerated on a good day.

* AuthorExistenceFailure: Mitch Lucker died in a motorcycle crash on November 1, 2012.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: [[Music/{{Suffocation}} Frank Mullen]] was invited to perform at the memorial show, but had to decline due to scheduling conflicts.
** Mitch was to have a feature on the then upcoming Betraying the Martyrs album ''Phantom,'' but Mitch's death stopped that from happening. Betraying the Martyrs did another song featuring [[Music/{{Volumes}} Yung Yogi]] and did a song called "Legends Never Die" in Mitch's honor.

* ExecutiveMeddling: Inverted. [[https://old.reddit.com/r/Deathcore/comments/5zx597/suicide_silence_fired_their_management_and_agent/ They fired their management before the self-titled dropped.]]

* GenreKiller: In a way, Mitch Lucker's death was a factor in killing mainstream interest in deathcore (at least temporarily). At the height of deathcore's popularity, Suicide Silence was ''the'' face of the genre and Mitch being the biggest star of the genre. Thanks to Mitch's [[LongHairedPrettyBoy good looks]] and welcoming personality, he managed to get a bunch of young fans into deathcore (intentionally or not). With his death, most mainstream interest faded without its biggest singer keeping interest in the genre or being able to welcome new people into the scene. It wasn't the only factor in the genre's fall, deathcore's falling relevance was hinted at with most major bands from the Myspace era either [[NewSoundAlbum changing their sound,]] going through a DorkAge, or simply breaking up. It took Music/ThyArtIsMurder's surprising rise in popularity and a crop of younger deathcore bands in the late 2010's to give the genre a second jolt of life.

* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: All of the demos and the self-titled EP have been long out-of-print; while the ''Rare Ass Shit'' compilation in 2019 brought back the EP after well over a decade of it being unavailable outside of torrents, [=YouTube=], and the occasional extremely expensive used copy, the ''Family Guy'' demo (the other sought-after rarity) is still very much a case of this.
