Guitarist Mark Heylmun is sitting out SUICIDE SILENCE‘s fall 2026 tour in order to focus on his “sobriety and mental health”.
The trek, which features support from EMMURE, ANGELMAKER and SYNESTIA, kicked off on Friday, November 6 in Riverside, California and is scheduled to conclude on December 13 in Los Angeles, California.
On November 7, Mark released the following statement via social media: “After A LOT of thought, I’ve decided not to go on the ‘Reminders Of Hell’ tour. Right now I need to put my sobriety and my mental health first.
“I’m not stepping away from SUICIDE SILENCE. I’ll still be involved behind the scenes. I’ve had to accept that life on the road has always been a difficult environment for me, and if I want to keep doing this for years to come, some things need to change.
“With ‘Graceless’ coming out, this definitely wasn’t an easy decision. But I know I need to build a solid foundation in my sobriety before I can confidently get back out there.
“I’m grateful for everyone who’s supported me, for the band standing behind me, and to Jordan for stepping in.
“I’ve got work to do… it’s time to level up and come back stronger than ever.”
Last Spetember, SUICIDE SILENCE has shared “Graceless”, the title track of the band’s upcoming album, which is set for release on November 20 via Century Media. The song’s accompanying music video captures the essence of what put deathcore on the map in the early 2000s.

SUICIDE SILENCE comments: “This is the title track off our new record. It’s a short-and-sweet crusher that gives you a taste of what this record is all about. Check out our podcast where we go in detail about the song, video and album.”
As guitarist Chris Garza puts it, the goal was to “just get out of the way and serve that band logo. When we choose to do that, great things follow. We’re back to doing it exactly as we did it when we were kids: just playing heavy shit and doing it from the heart.”
SUICIDE SILENCE 2026 is:
Hernan “Eddie” Hermida – vocals
