Suicide Silence have announced a temporary live replacement for guitarist Chris Garza, who is currently on hiatus from the band. Garza shared the news in December, explaining:
“As some of you have noticed, I’ve missed the last couple Suicide Silence shows. It’s because I’m on a hiatus from the band. SuSi has been on my brain every day since 2002 with no break. Everything is fine. I just need to press the reset button so I can make the right decisions in the near future. As the Terminator said. I’ll be back. –Garza”
The band will continue performing without him for the time being. Lead guitarist Mark Heylmun released a statement on January 9, expressing support for Garza and introducing the temporary replacement:
“Hey everyone, with the news of Garza’s hiatus I thought I’d share some things I feel pertinent.
I fully support/respect Garza’s decision to take a break. That said, SS is a part of my blood and DNA at this point and this band has always been a 5-headed dragon and the show must go on, and it will.
We are bringing our friend @themilkywaye of Soreption on board as fill-in for the upcoming European and Asian tours. For anyone familiar with Ian’s playing you know he has a heavy right hand and can rip with the best of em. If it’s brief or if it’s for a while, we are gonna bring some serious firepower to every stage we step foot on as we always have. Can’t wait to see you all on the road!”
Heylmun also reflected on his own previous hiatus in 2019 and emphasized the band’s commitment to their music and fans. Ian Waye of Soreption will step in as the live guitarist for all upcoming shows, adding fresh energy and maintaining the band’s signature intensity on stage.
