RIP.

I guess early death is inevitable with bands that mess with that "death" term. Suicide Silence, Death, Dead, Euronymous (Prince of Death), etc. Contrasting this is Lifelover's B. However, their band name was a parody to the music they played.

I didn't like the band's music but I still never would've wished death upon on any of it's members.

It's never good when a member of the metal community passes away, even if you don't like the band.

Same as most people here. Not a fan of their work, but to see someone die that young is tragic regardless.

I hate Suicide Silence with every essence of my being... though I am saddened cause this fucker could put on a bitchin' show. He even got my ass to move a little bit in the mosh pit. You will be missed somewhat. Rest In Pieces may your head bang in the Eternal Oblivion with the Metal Gods.

I think it would be a good idea for people to note that they didn't like the band before saying their condolences......it helps keep your street cred. i am giggling at the posers that merely seemed compassionate and said RIP.

This piece of news pains me in two ways. I enjoy my deathcore sometimes and I remember enjoying Suicide Silence songs when checking them out in preparation for the 2012 summer festivals, and I really don't care what people around here say, this band was/is crushing as fuck. That and we're talking here about a fellow bike enthusiast dying doing what he liked, that's always kinda poetic and very sad at the same time.

It was only a year I guess that I was chatting with him in Solus bar and he said "This band is nothing what fans are comprehending about, I am gonna taking this motherfucking band to much higher level" and then Bassist joked: If only you will die" . Mitch said: Yeah.

RIP

Gotta love the sarcasm of this post! xD

Of course, this is a terrible tragedy, especially for his family. To die at 28.... well it's just so unexpected. RIP Mitch, and condolences to his bandmates and family.
