Background

Suicide Silence began writing for ''No Time to Bleed'' during the first half of 2008 and planned the recording and creation of the album later that year.

He also made a reference to this change in the song "Suffer", with the lyrics "A ruthless cleansing has already begun and it's time to move on". The track "...And Then She Bled" consists of a recreation of a 911 emergency phone call recorded on February 16, 2009. A woman, Charla Nash, was attacked by a domesticated chimpanzee named Travis.
