History Formation, demos and self-titled debut EP (2002β2006) Suicide Silence was founded in 2002 in Riverside, California. At the time, it was a side project made up of musicians from other bands. The band's first release was in 2003: the Death Awaits demo. After Death Awaits was completed, the band began recording a second demo, which was released in 2004 and saw a fair change in the group's lineup; Josh Goddard replaced Justin Tufano on drums and Mike Olheiser replaced Chris Grucelski on bass. It also saw the firing of vocalist Tanner Womack after the band's first performance in April 2003, which left all vocal duties solely to Mitch Lucker. It was by this time that the band members began committing more time to Suicide Silence. The following year the band began work on their first release backed by a small independent label; a self-titled EP which was released at the end of September of that year. It was initially released by Third Degree Records, and later re-released in the UK through In at the Deep End Records β the group booked all their own tours around the USA
