German metalcore outfit Caliban have paid tribute to pioneering deathcore outfit Suicide Silence and their late frontman Mitch Lucker with the release of a cover of the latter’s “You Only Live Once“. Caliban and Suicide Silence had previously toured together in 2009 and 2016 and had Lucker guest on “We Are The Many” from their 2012 album “I Am Nemesis“. Tragically, Lucker‘s life was cut short later that year in a motorcycle accident. Caliban said of their tribute to him and the band:
“‘You Only Live Once‘ has always been more than just a song to us – it’s a reminder of what connects this scene: honesty, intensity, and brotherhood. Suicide Silence and Mitch shaped an entire generation of heavy music and inspired countless bands. We played many shows together over the years and always had a great time — on stage and off. Mitch was one of those rare people who carried both relentless energy and genuine kindness wherever he went. Covering this track is our way of paying respect to him and to the legacy he left behind – a legacy that reminds us to live loud, without regret.
For Mitch. You only live once.”
