Mitch Lucker: A Remembrance

This project is about the late front man singer of the metal/hardcore/screamo/deathmetal band Suicide Silence. Even though he's no longer with us, this paper will tell you about who he is, and the incredible legacy he left behind... And that he will NEVER be forgotten. He will always remain a legend, and forever Sempiternal.

Where was he born, full name, siblings, family, his D.O.B (Date Of Birth) and his Parents?

Mitchell “Mitch” Adam Lucker was born on October 20th, 1984 in Riverside, California to the lucky parents of Denise Haddad and Kip Lucker. He grew up alongside his older brother Cliff and his younger sister Heather. His younger sister, Heather, mightily looked up to her older brother, Mitchell. His older brother Cliff, played an important role in Mitch's childhood.

From then on, Mitch and his siblings grew up in beautiful Riverside, Cali with their parents. Mitch spent his whole life in Riverside until he turned the age of 21. When he was 21 years old, he set out for the world in front of him.

In 2007, Mitch married the beautiful Jolie Carmadella and together they had a beautiful healthy baby daughter. Their daughter is KenadeeIsis Lucker and she was born on June 30th 2007.

Why did Mitch choose singing/being in a band as a career?

It all started out, when his older brother, Cliff, was really good at the guitar. At the time, his brother was in a garage band during his years in High School. His father said, “Mitch didn't seem interested in the guitar, but he sure seemed interested in the band.”

When he was “Somewhere around 11 or 13,” his mother said, “he was given a Bass guitar, and he seemed to look at it excited, but not really. So I just-I never really saw him play it. No big deal.” his father finished off. His father said, “He wanted his own way into the band, and I couldn't quite figure out what it was going to be.”

Mitch knew what he wanted to do: he wanted to be a part of his brother's band, and he would try with all his might to get his spot in that band. But, no matter what, he wouldn't give up.

“They did have a singer in his older brother's band, but there was a time where he stopped coming to practice,” his mother said, “So, they decided to put Mitchell in to sing for him.” Finally, he got his chance. Mitch got a chance at doing what he always wanted to do.

His father said, “And I remember him saying something about, “Mitch is going to try”,” his father went on. “Mitch is going to try what?” his father asked. “He is going to try to sing.” “Okay, cool.” his father said. Mitch's mother and father was especially shocked at his choice, but at the same time extremely happy that he was doing something he loved.

“When Mitchell went into center and began to sing in the garage band,” his mother went on, “his older brother went, “oh my gosh, he actually has a voice.”” The very first band they started was breakaway, his father recalled. “And they were pretty good” he said.

They believed they had a shot at being a band, so Mitch and the band decided to enter in the Battle of the Bands competition. But, I don't think that band lasted very long as a whole. His father said, “And the next band was called Dying Dreams”.

“But it was still his brother's band. And then, when his older brother finally graduated, Mitchell still enjoyed music so much more. Brother went, you know, to collage, and now Mitchell, you know, it was 'what am I gonna do?'”

Who were his major idols and inspirations to him and why? (Who inspired him to make music and be in a band and why?)
