Deathcore legends Suicide Silence and Chelsea Grin take over the Rickshaw Theatre this Fall with guests I AM and PeelingFlesh!
Suicide Silence
An American deathcore group that draws on elements of black metal, grindcore, mathcore, and groove metal, Suicide Silence emerged in 2007 with the punishing full-length debut, The Cleansing. Subsequent efforts continued to look to artists like Sepultura, Cannibal Corpse, Death, and Possessed for inspiration, while the band’s eponymous fifth studio long-player, released in 2017, saw Suicide Silence incorporate clean, nu-metal style vocals into the mix. 2020’s Become The Hunter and 2023’s Remember… You Must Die saw Suicide Silence return to the uncomprising deathcore sound of their earlier outings.
Chelsea Grin

Chelsea Grin is an American metal band from Salt Lake City, Utah. Formed in 2007, the group is currently signed to Rise Records and have released two EPs (Chelsea Grin in July 2008, and Evolve in June 2012) and five full-length albums which include Desolation Of Eden, My Damnation, Self Inflicted, Ashes To Ashes, and Eternal Nightmare. The band named themselves after the infamous torture maneuver known as the Glasgow smile or “Chelsea grin”. Chelsea Grin keeps the listener engaged in a unique onslaught of technical and aggressive riffage. Vocally Chelsea Grin dive deep into the inner demons of us all to create a soundtrack that leaves listeners craving more as a way to discover themselves. Chelsea Grin have been featured on a large number of European and American music festivals which include, Vans Warped Tour, Download Festival, With Full Force and many more.
I AM
Brandishing a unique blend of furious thrash and death metal like a weapon of mass destruc8on, I AM is purely no-nonsense in their patented “Texas Death” assault. Armed with riffs, speed, and overwhelming power, “I AM writes songs that make you want to move” (Decibel Magazine). Across three full-length slabs of bludgeoning intensity and snarling rage, I AM put a Southern stamp and revitalized swagger into deathcore, a subgenre rarely as raw, energized, and diverse as this band. In the spirit of fellow Southern icons Pantera and newer Texan heroes Power Trip, I AM channels discontent and anger into empowering anthems, as likely to inspire a gruelling workout as to incite the pit. Reminiscent of the combina8on of death metal heaviness and thrash metal speed found in the early catalogue of Sepultura, I AM mines the heaviness of Morbid Angel and the dexterity of the Big 4 to create something groundbreaking of their own. Vocalist Andrew Hileman — who started the band in 2011– guitarists Tom Reyes and Chris Burgess, bassist Erik Rodriguez, and drummer Brandon Busa deliver their Texas Death in clubs, theatres, and fes8vals, with bands like The Acacia Strain and Kublai Khan.
