The American vocalist best known as the lead singer for the deathcore band Suicide Silence Mitchell Lucker died on November 1, 2012, following severe injuries incurred from a motorcycle accident in Huntington Beach, California.
Lucker first started performing music in the year 2000 with the band Breakaway, which would later become the Corona local metalcore band Dying Dreams.
Dying Dreams featured Lucker on vocals and his brother Cliff on guitar, along with later Suicide Silence bandmates Josh Tufano on the second guitar and Mike Olheiser on bass.
Suicide Silence’s debut album, The Cleansing, sold 7,250 copies in the first week. Their second album No Time to Bleed was released in June 2009. The band’s last album to feature Lucker, The Black Crown was released in July 2011.
Lucker was casually known for his extensive collection of tattoos on his body covering his arms, torso, neck/throat, hands, fingers, and even his face. The only place he refused to ever get tattooed was on his back.
His signature black bars that he had on each of his fingers were cover-ups. The original tattoo he had displayed across his fingers was “FORXEVER”, a common word used within the straight-edge community.
