Chris Garza has announced he is stepping away from Suicide Silence for the time being. In a statement posted to his social media this morning, Monday, December 8th, the guitarist and Garza Podcast host addressed his ongoing absence from the band’s live schedule.

Garza shared the following:

What’s up everyone,

As some of you have noticed, I’ve missed the last couple Suicide Silence shows. It’s because I’m on a hiatus from the band. SuSi has been on my brain every day since 2002 with no break. Everything is fine. I just need to press the reset button so I can make the right decisions in the near future. As the Terminator said. I’ll be back. –Garza
