Suicide Silence
No Time To Bleed

Suicide Silence are one of the most highly regarded modern extreme entities at the moment and have toured with bands like Megadeth, Devildriver, and Behemoth. The reason for all this attention? Simple: after their ferocious and vehement debut full-length "The Cleansing", they have released a more mature and elaborate album, a work born from the growing American death-core trend that already followed the first album, but conceived with greater awareness and with the recently acquired experience.

"No Time To Bleed" has a devastating power that breaks down the listener's cerebral cortex, managing to be more fluid than any death-core album. The enhancement of the guitar work, which goes beyond the mere task of creating a thick, confusing, and noisy sonic wall, expands the album's sonic palette. The instrumental parts are enriched, and it doesn't present 11 songs of just breakdowns and blast and beat. Mitch's vocals become even more violent, yet at the same time more human and less cold. Songs like "Wake Up" (the first single) "Lifted", and "Something Invisible" are indeed the result of this remarkable artistic maturation, as well as "...And Then She Bled", a perfectly crafted instrumental track that breaks the tones masterfully while still managing to chill the blood thanks to the eerie background dialogue that fades into the song's final, dark notes.

The second single "Genocide" is a pleasant jump back in time, both for the structure of the song and for the vaguely allegorical lyrics (yes, I know I was previously promoting the development of the band, but such a nod to "The Cleansing" is fitting), while a track like "Disengage" is the appropriate conclusion for an album of this kind.
Obviously, great credit goes to the producer (an increasingly important figure these days for the making of an album) Machine, who had already produced the excellent "Wrath" by Lamb Of God: thanks to the man whose name is written on the back of the CD cover, the sounds are compact and refined, but never excessively pompous, making the album compact and brutal instead of confusing and tedious.
The artwork is also remarkable, composed of images halfway between photographs and drawings, perfectly in tune with the splatter atmospheres of some songs and with the story created by Century Media specifically for the album.

"No Time To Bleed" is thus synonymous with agonizing screams, killer riffs, tight and harsh rhythms, the second work of a band that, along with Whitechapel and Black Dahlia Murder, embodies the best of the death-core wave that is making half of America mosh.
