Guitarist Chris Garza has announced that he is currently on hiatus from Suicide Silence. In a statement shared on his social media this morning, December 08th, the deathcore musician, who also hosts the ‘Garza Podcast‘, commented of his absence from the band’s live activities:
“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“
Garza isn’t the first to step away from the band for a spell. Back in 2018, the band’s guitarist Mark Heylmun went on a “radical sabbatical” from the outfit, before eventually returning.
