Suicide Silence is the eponymous fifth studio album by metal band Suicide Silence, released on February 24, 2017 by Nuclear Blast. The album is an infamous departure from their signature deathcore musical style, pursuing a more 1990s influenced nu metal sound instead. Reviews for the album were mostly negatively received from fans and critics alike.
The band had previously begun to explore genres outside of deathcore on their 2011 album The Black Crown, experimenting with genres such as nu metal by collaborating with musicians such as Korn vocalist Jonathan Davis. After the passing of Mitch Lucker in 2012, the band reverted to a more straightforward deathcore sound for 2014 album You Can't Stop Me.
Suicide Silence marks a departure from the band's straightforward deathcore sound to a more nu metal and alternative metal influenced sound. The first song released from the album, "Doris", was released on January 6, 2017, to a negative reception. It has been compared to Deftones and Korn. The next song released from the album, titled "Silence", was released February 1, 2017. A music video for "Dying in a Red Room" was released on February 25.
The album has received generally mixed to negative reviews. Among the most damning criticisms came from Joe Smith-Engelhardt of Exclaim!, who gave the album a 1/10 review, comparing it to "a garage band sloppily covering Korn and Deftones through a microphone they found in a dumpster".Rock Sound were also critical of the change in direction, claiming that the band had "shed the very thing that made them great", as were Metal Hammer, who found the band's decision "bewildering".
