==Personal Life==
Lucker was born on October 8, 1984. He grew up in [[Riverside, California]] with both his parents and two siblings. He had suffered from [[Social Anxiety Disorder]] and [[Obsessive Compulsive Disorder]] (OCD)<ref>http://acrn.com/features/interviews/?review=44&p=80</ref>. He had a daughter called Kenadee Isis Lucker, who was born on June 30th 2007. Not long after, on May 8th 2010, Mitch Lucker and Jolie Carmadella got married and resided in [[Huntington Beach, California]].

In an interview with ''The AU Interview'', he said the bands that influenced him into starting a band were "Korn, Deftones, Slayer, Sepultura and anything my dad brought home."<ref name= The AU Review>{{cite web|url=http://www.theaureview.com/interviews/the-au-interview-mitch-lucker-of-suicide-silence-usa|title=the AU interview: Mitch Lucker of Suicide Silence (USA) &#124; the AU ...|date=20 November 2010|publisher=The AU Review|accessdate=20 November 2010}}</ref> He first started performing in his brother's garage band, covering a Hatebreed song he knew the lyrics to when they needed a vocalist.

==Tattoos==
Mitch had a love for tattoos, working in a tattoo shop as a piercer at one point in his life before [[Suicide Silence]] became as big as they have to this day. His first tattoo he got done was his shin, when he was 17. Since then, he had gone on to getting most of his body inked throughout the years, including getting an owl on his stomach, his daughter's name tattooed on his hand in a flower and his wife's name on his neck. <ref>http://inkandhonor.com/interviews/musicians/mitch-lucker</ref>

==Music Career==
Lucker first joined the band [[Suicide Silence]] in 2002, touring with the likes of [[Parkway Drive]], [[Darkest Hour]] and [[The Acacia Strain]]. "''''Suicide Silence EP'''" was the first EP released by the band [[Suicide Silence]]. It was recorded during the summber of 2005 and released in the same year.<ref name= Suicide Silence EP>{{cite web|url=http://www.wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Suicide_Silence_EP|title=Suicide Silence EP|date=30 December 2005|publisher=[[Wikipedia]] |accessdate=30 December 2005}}</ref> Two years after that release and many demos later, the debut album that started getting [[Suicide Silence]] recognised "'''The Cleansing'''" was released. It became one of the biggest selling Century Media releases with 7,250 copies being sold within the first week of release. The music video for "The Price Of Beauty" was banned from the MTV playlist for being deemed too "visually and lyrically explicit.<ref name=[[MetalSucks]]>{{cite web|url=http://www.metalsucks.net/2007/10/30/cinemetal-suicide-silence-the-price-of-beauty/|title=CINEMETAL: SUICIDE SILENCE, “THE PRICE OF BEAUTY”|last=Rosenburg|first=Axl|date=30 October 2007|publisher=MetalSucks.net|accessdate=30 October 2007}}</ref> And again, two years after the release of their debut album, "'''No Time To Bleed'''"<ref name= No Time To Bleed>{{cite web|url=http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/No_Time_To_Bleed|title=No Time To Bleed|publisher=[[Wikipedia]]}}</ref> was released in 2009 in five different editions; the standard version, the Exclusive [[Hot Topic]] Edition, the [[iTunes]] edition, the [[vinyl]] edition, and the ''Maximum Bloodshed Edition''. It is Suicide Silence's most critically acclaimed album and was re-released as No Time to Bleed: Body Bag Edition on July 1, 2010, little over a year after the record's original pressing.
The final album before Mitch's death was released in July 2011, entitled "'''The Black Crown'''"<ref name= The Black Crown>{{cite web|url=http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/The_Black_Crown|title=The Black Crown|publisher=[[Wikipedia]]}}</ref>. By this time, his lyrical inspirations changed, unlike what he had wrote previously in the other albums, there were to be no controversial "anti-religious" lyrics. When asked by ''Kerrang!'' Lucker explained: "I'm not trying to put people's beliefs down - it's about me and my life. This is my head cracked open and poured on the paper! I still have the same beliefs and same views, but I'm more open to everything," he adds. "At this point in my life, I don't see the good in making people hate you for something you say. This record is for everybody."<ref name=[[Kerrang!]]>{{cite web|url=http://www.kerrang.com/blog/2011/04/suicide_silence_get_personal_o.html|title= Suicide Silence gets Personal on The Black Crown|first=Simon|date=5 April 2011|publisher=[[Kerrang]]|accessdate=5 April 2011}}</ref>


==Death==
Lucker died on 1 November 2012 at the age of 28 years due to severe injuries from a motorcycle accident. Officially, the news of the coroner of Orange County that declared the death at 06:17 local<ref>http://www.pe.com/iguide/music/music-headlines/20121101-riverside-suicide-silence-singer-killed-in-motorcycle-crash.ece</ref>. On October 31, before leaving home, Mitch published a photo on [http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twitter Twitter] , where he was disguised as a skeleton for [[Halloween]] , and reported the words ''"The Dead Are Living"''. According to the reconstructions, October 31, at about 20:55, the [[Harley Davidson]] driven by Mitch Lucker was traveling on the main street of [[Huntington Beach, California|Huntington Beach (California]]) , when he crashed into a light pole, the motion, then, continued its stroke ending under a truck coming from the opposite side. His wife said that he had been drinking that night, Mitch. On the evening of November 1, was organized a candlelight vigil for friends and relatives which was attended by more than 300 people. During the candlelight vigil wife condemned the causes of the accident and said to the crowd:

{{quote|"He was an alcoholic, and has been a long battle. I tried to stop that evening, I put in front of him on the doorstep, begging him not to leave. I begged him: Seriously, do it for us, do not go. But he's gone and that's what happened. Should be a wake up call for everyone. He was a wonderful man, a wonderful father and a great husband. But now it will grow Kenadee, our five year old daughter. All this because he decided to drink and drive. Do not do it. Think before you do something so stupid. Learn from this story. <ref>http://www.blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=181724</ref>."
