SUICIDE SILENCE have released the new song ‘Thinking In Tongues’, which is currently available on all digital platforms. There is also an accompanying music video, which was directed by Vicente Cordero for Industrialism Films, which can be seen below.
“This song derives from the chaotic feeling of losing one’s mind”, says SUICIDE SILENCE about “Thinking In Tongues”. “Feeling like you’re choking on every breath you take until you eventually break. Debilitating confusion sets in and your mind begins ‘Thinking in Tongues’; essentially processing thoughts that not even you yourself can understand. In a sense, this song evokes the ultimate sense of helplessness.”
“Thinking In Tongues” is drummer Alex Lopez’s final studio performance, the band adds, “SUICIDE SILENCE and our long-time 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.”
On June 24th, SUICIDE SILENCE will drop the re-release of their classic debut album “The Cleansing (Ultimate Edition)”. You can pre-order the re-release, which will include liner notes by the band and extensive bonus material, at this location.
