Suicide Silence - Sacred Words

Review by James G. Vaccari

Sacred Words, the fifth studio album by American deathcore band Suicide Silence, is a testament to the band's ability to evolve and experiment with their sound. The album features a departure from their traditional deathcore style, incorporating elements of nu-metal and alternative metal.

The opening track, "Doris," sets the tone for the album with its heavy, chugging riffs and intense vocals from frontman Eddie Hermida. The album continues with the title track, "Sacred Words," which features a more melodic sound and showcases the band's ability to create a catchy chorus.

Other standout tracks include "Inherit the Crown," which features a driving rhythm section and a powerful breakdown, and "Control," which incorporates electronic elements and a guest appearance from George "Corpsegrinder" Fisher of Cannibal Corpse.

Sacred Words is a solid addition to Suicide Silence's discography and shows the band's willingness to take risks and explore new sounds. Fans of the band's earlier work may be surprised by the departure from their traditional sound, but the album is sure to attract new listeners and expand their fan base.
