Suicide Silence

Suicide Silence, the deathcore band from Huntington Beach, California, headline a heavy bill at the O2 Ritz Manchester, with Fleshgod Apocalypse, To The Grave and The Gloom In The Corner also on the bill.

Suicide Silence formed in Huntington Beach, California, and play deathcore, a style that combines death metal riffs with hardcore breakdowns. Their album The Black Crown, released in 2011, is among their best-known records. Fleshgod Apocalypse are an Italian symphonic death metal band from Perugia, formed in 2007, whose albums Labyrinth (2011) and Agony (2016) combine orchestral arrangements with extreme metal.

To The Grave and The Gloom In The Corner complete the bill. Deathcore draws on death metal and hardcore punk, so the night suits listeners of both styles. The O2 Ritz Manchester, on Whitworth Street West, mainly hosts concerts, and this bill places three heavy acts from different scenes alongside one another in a single evening.
