They might have looked like high school kids waiting for their prom dates when they showed up at the Epiphone Revolver Golden Gods Awards dressed in tuxedos, but the second the members of Suicide Silence took the stage, they proved that they're more than the deathcore trend of the month -- far more. Vocalist Mitch Lucker is a frightening, captivating frontman, and while his bandmates do their share of entertaining flailing and headbanging, it's Lucker who almost single-handedly stole the show from all the other Golden Gods performers. See for yourself when Suicide Silence appears on the exclusive 60-minute telecast of the awards show Saturday night at midnight on MTV2, which will be followed by an hour long wrap-up hosted by XM Radio DJ Jose Mangin, which features performance outtakes and band interviews.

Lucker will also take part in a special edition of MTV2's "Headbangers Ball" tonight at midnight.
The show will be co-hosted by Suicide Silence and Slipknot vocalist Corey Taylor, who deejayed right before the Golden Gods. Click "more" to watch our Golden Gods interview clips with Suicide Silence. Read more...
