Mitch Lucker, Suicide Silence (2012 PHOTO GALLERY)

The metal world is still reeling from the recent death of Suicide Silence singer Mitch Lucker.

On Oct. 31, Lucker, who was 28, crashed his new Harley Davidson into a light pole near his home in Huntington Beach, Calif. and was pronounced dead at the UCI Medical Center in Orange County shortly after.

A married man with a young daughter, Lucker co-founded Suicide Silence in 2002. The band went on to release three studio albums and arguably become the most successful deathcore group on the planet.

Noisecreep photographer Charles Epting is a huge fan of Suicide Silence and got to shoot the group a few times throughout 2012. In this photo gallery, Epting shares some Lucker photos from his personal archive.
