Suicide Silence Part Ways With Drummer Alex Lopez, Tease New Single for Next Week
Follow us on social media
Right now, Suicide Silence are gearing up for a co-headlining tour with Carnifex. However, it also looks like they’re changing up their ranks as well, as they’ve officially parted ways with drummer Alex Lopez.
The band made the following announcement via their social media:
“Suicide Silence & our long-time drummer, Alex Lopez, have mutually agreed to part ways. We wish him nothing but the best moving forward & encourage you all to follow his future endeavors in both music & 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 & music video on May 4th.”
This is about as clean and simple a split as one can have, honestly. There isn’t any coded language or whatnot behind this one, even if there is drama behind the scenes (not that there is or isn’t, we just don’t know).
Keep your ears peeled for the new song next week, and get tickets to see the band at one of their upcoming dates:
