Sevenstring.org Interview - Mark Heylmun of Suicide Silence




Fellsilent

Interview: Mark Heylmun


Interviewed by: Patrick "xshreditupx" Sheridan






"Synonymous to the cult classics such as Metallica’s Kill Em All and Slayer’s Reign In Blood, the voracious No Time To Bleed provides a substantial wake up call to the masses giving today’s youth an outlet to vent their everyday frustrations. SUICIDE SILENCE can identify with their fans and know what struggles they face in today’s society. This new effort showcases a more mature band coming into their own, ultimately paving a new path throughout the metal genre unique all unto itself that can’t be replicated. This is the future of extreme music that is brutal, genuine and simply undeniable. " -official biography

Sevenstring.org: Hey Mark, thanks for sitting down and taking time to answer a few questions for the board. I know you and your band are touring like crazy these days, we appreciate it.



Mark Heylmun:: Yeah man, we honestly are pretty busy as of late but I gotta show my respect to the seven-string users around, you know what I'm sayin'? And of course you know I would do anything for my boy Pat.



SS: So, I'm sure there was a time that you were a six-string player (like the rest of us). What was it about the seven-string that made you make the switch?



MH: Really, every band I have ever started I always stood by standard tuning as opposed to dropped tuning. So in an effort to get the best of both worlds I started using a seven-string guitar. I love low sludgy riffs but I still want to be able to use the higher strings to do expressive solos on the higher strings. After I picked one up and played it for awhile I never wanted to use a six-string as my main guitar again.



SS: What is your guitar of choice, and why?


MH: I use ESP guitars loaded with EMG's, they have the sickest low end you could ever need and the clearest highs you need to be articulate in your riffs. The SC-607 is my main guitar I use live right now, it is just a versatile guitar that I can't seem to replicate. I have tried a bunch of other seven-strings but this one just has everything I want in a guitar. The neck is rounder than most, it kinda reminds me of a seven-string Les
