Music Career
Lucker first started performing in his brother's garage band, covering a Hatebreed song he knew the lyrics to when they needed a vocalist. Lucker and rhythm guitarist Chris Garza later started Suicide Silence in 2002, a band which rose to fame early. Originally, the band had two vocalists, with Tanner Womack fronting the band as well as Lucker. However, when Womack was dismissed, Lucker became the sole vocalist.
The band's debut album The Cleansing becoming one of the biggest-selling Century Media releases with 7,250 copies sold in the first week. Their second album No Time to Bleed was released on June 30, 2009. The band's last album to feature Mitch, The Black Crown was released on July 12, 2011. By this time, his lyrics had begun to lose the previous controversial anti-religious content. When asked by Kerrang! Lucker explained:
I'm not trying to put people's beliefs down - it's about me and my life. This is my head cracked open and poured on the paper! I still have the same beliefs and same views, but I'm more open to everything. At this point in my life, I don't see the good in making people hate you for something you say. This record is for everybody.Read more about this topic: Mitch Lucker
