My CD just arrived today! This is already one of my favorite albums by you guys of all time. It's the perfect combination of classic Suffocation, mixed with a fresh and new sound. And Ricky is a goddamn monster.
I remember running into Ricky at a Suffocation show in Austin in 2015. I figured Sarcolytic, who is from Austin would be opening. I had no idea he was taking Franks spot until i saw him onstage.
At 5:40 I watched a hawk swoop across the road I drive home on, claws out to grab something. I just met one of the band’s Mom today. She’s proud af of you because that’s how I found yall.
This is an absolute masterpiece from this amazing band! I'm a huge fan of Suffocation from the beginning and I can tell, this is one of their the best album,ruthless brutal 100% Suffocation! Mr. Hobbs and his crew did a brilliant job on this album and the mix of the album also a perfection!!! 🤘
This is actually excellent! A step above the previous album!! I enjoyed the mix as well...good production (not being over processed and plastic sounding)
Love it, i grew up in the local scene where you guys created this madness, seeing the band (Terrance at least haha) at Hammerheadz/Februarys and the other spots many times.
Waited a while for this one and it does NOT disappoint. Mr. Hobbs, you and the rest of your crew delivered a stunningly heavy and killer album. On my list to get of course, as I have all the other Suffo albums, EPs and demos. And props to Ricky for his studio debut on vox with Suffocation. He doesn't need to be Frank, nor is he a replacement for Frank. He is part of the continuation that is Suffocation's place among the elite in death metal and extreme metal. Huge smile on my face listening to this. \m/
i dont know. its good but i prefer the previous vocalist. his lyrics are sick and the delivery is very unique. the new vocalist is kinda typical... as far as the delivery of words
I met this band too late and only now with this album and I can say with certainty that I love them madly for the technical structure of the songs and simply epic lyrics
The best in the game! Love everything about this album🔥. Everything blends so well. Suffocation always comes with something better and better. Onwards and upwards!!
The Bass is just perfect...you can hear it clearly but its not too loud....I like those fingerslides on the strings you can hear here and there... vocals are sick af...such a brutal masterpiece of an album...suffocation and dying fetus never dissapoints
Best suffocation release since pinnacle of bedlam. I got really sick of this band and their newer sounding shit, but this, this was well worth the wait. Nothing will ever top effigy.
@@BrianM-44041 Come on, as far as extreme metal goes they're pretty mainstream. They have 137 k listen on spotify, thats huge for extreme metal; actual underground bands have less than 1k.
@@Theconvergermag as far as underground music goes they're still not mainstream. They're just a popular long running underground music band. Anything that's unknown to everyone except underground music fans can't be mainstream. It's not on the billboard top 100 or top of the pops ffs. Lol and those bands with under 1k? They probably just suck or aren't good at getting their music out there. Or nobody likes them. You don't have to find bands that formed last week to be underground. It's okay if a few thousand people like their underground music. Ask your mom or a couple teenage girls at a dance club to name a few suffo titles. See how mainstream they are.
What can I say...just listened vinyl version. Didnt listened youtube..vinyl is the way to go. Fukn Awesome!!! Didnt expect this. After listening Suffo 33 years they still suprises, like in the first album...This one needs lots of digesting like all the others. And I like there is lots of dynamics and I heard some black metal tunes...Nice! Ricky fits there like nails in the coffin, Brutal. Nice job guys, I wait to see you live again...and come to fuking Finland!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just saw suffocation on November 27th 2024 in Frisco. THEY KILLED IT!!! SO SICK AND ON POINT. I STILL FEEL THEM . THANKS TO SUFFOCATION FOR THE SICK AND FUCKING LOVE OF METAL PLAYED IN FRISCO!!! HALE SUFFOCATION!!!!!
The new Suffocation is actually my favorite Brutal Death Metal album of all times. The 2nd half of the album is on a different level, the musicianship is triple top tier. The small % of people that don't like it is because Frank Mullen isn't in the band anymore. Lol. Ricky Myers is just as good his vocals are miles above most people. This album is flawless...10/10 on each track.
@lamargent5434 I don't know man, the more I hear it the more I like it. I haven't been this excited by a death metal album for years. Something special about this one
A third priceless emerald in the Death Metal Crown of 2023 - with Chaos Horrific and Make Them Beg for Death😈☠️ But - what makes this album very special and outstanding for me personally is that amazing subbass kicks (or was that downtuned bass string?) in some crescendo riffs. Tbh, couldn't immediately figure out what specifically was used to create such a doomsday bass kick effect
Caught their show in Brisbane not long ago, got to hang out with Derek, Charlie and Ricky (or obnoxiously just hung around them lol) but stellar guys, outstanding performance on all fronts. New album seems a new lease of life for the band. Frank, you will be missed, but the legacy goes on...
Na minha opinião umas das poucas bandas que continua fiel ao estilo.......sem muitas mudanças no som; confesso que com a saída do vocalista Frank Mullen achei que a banda desandaria; mais pelo visto continua firme e forte! o álbum novo ficou foda!!!!!!!!!
I was very dubitative listening to the single : but enjoying the whole album gives much more power to those ! I feel all the groove from Breeding the Spawn / Pierced From Within era. This record is really strong. Very well done !
Great new vocalist. He fills the spot nicely despite us obviously missing frank. Amazing drummer and bassist too. Hobbs is a guitar god as always. The only thing that could make this band better is getting mike smith back. He started this style of drumming ffs lol Not saying the new drummer is any slouch hes kicking as much ass as mike used to. Even the cover art is great i love that they continue with the theme and artist. Im amazed how great this album is. Hobbs just keeps getting better when you think its impossible. Love it.
Excellent album! Definitely an improvement over previous songwriting that was already tasty af. Enjoying every riff of this absolute creamy gem (creamy gem? wtf?)
Hope you rerecord blood oath for better sound quality like this. Thanks for this awesome drop. Im already looking forward for what is next. Suffocation rules.
@@Juzztas I dont want to agree with you, but you are right. I cant hear anything that stands out to me. I always liked Suffocation for the cool memorable leads and personality. I cant differentiate anything on this..
This is my favourite Suffocation since Despise the Sun. I love how divisive reviews have been on this album on Metal Archives, for instance. People either LOVE it, or they give it a terrible review. I think that's how a band knows they are doing something right: when the haters start to run their mouths. If it was actually "mid" they wouldn't bother saying anything. I love how huge the kicks sound, it gives everything a monstrous sound. And the vocal performance is fucking BRUTAL. Consider the big shoes "'filled", in my opinion.
This Album Spanks face hard🤘thank you for bringing the Originality of the band and Tech Death back🤘💀🤘, for all these low vibrational comment enthusias that have nothing better to do then complain find another band! 🤘SUFFOCATION IS BACK🤘

The last album was a baaanger too
Suffocation always bringing the fire.

This must have just come out, ordering it tonight... thanks.
I’m 100% sure Frank would be very proud of this album being made and full of praise for Ricky doing a stellar job on vocals.
Frank is on the last track
Frank not here anymore ? how ?
they sound just like any bdm now
You worded this like if Frank passed away long time ago. But yeah, i bet he'd be proud of his former bandmates and Ricky.
Первый раз слышу, зашло 110%, а Френк ?
Im going to see INCANTATION & SUFFOCATION on Nov 30th,,cant freaking wait,also SKELETAL REMAINS & STABBING
I remember running into Ricky at a Suffocation show in Austin in 2015. I figured Sarcolytic, who is from Austin would be opening. I had no idea he was taking Franks spot until i saw him onstage.
My god as an old Suffocation fan this makes me so happy
At 5:40 I watched a hawk swoop across the road I drive home on, claws out to grab something.
I just met one of the band’s Mom today. She’s proud af of you because that’s how I found yall.
Yay! I love Suffo! I'm going to buy the physical CD. Make sure to support these guys!
This is the greatest band of all time. Fan since 91
it is sexy though check out Septiroth they too create a cerebral lull amidst the chaos
God dammnit!,i missed 30 years ,i just become Fan now
The icon, the infamous, the legendary, the gods of brutality, untouched, set on the throne!!

I'm just in the first minute yet, but it's utterly magnificent.
Totally new stuff like Suffocation connected with good old Deeds of Flesh.
Love it.
I honestly haven't expected that complexity 😮 from Suffocation. Unbelievably tough and creative piece of perfect janre display.
Stoked!!!
Grabbing my presales today for the NZ gig next year 🤘🏽🤘🏽
Saw them on Thursday night in Brisbane, what a show!
This is actually excellent! A step above the previous album!! I enjoyed the mix as well...good production (not being over processed and plastic sounding)
Unmatched technique, amazing.
Good old suffocation im in love with this album, fucking sick
Loving this album
Never disappoint fellas! So sick!
Wow! Amazing album! Suffocation is pure gold
That Snare Sound!!!!!!
New to the band, my buds gave a good suggestion, this slays!
Check maybe Deeds of Flesh "Portals to Canaan"

@@grimvisions5592 Derek, the bass player, writes the lyrics. Has been for a long time since he joined.
@@grimvisions5592Agreed, Frank's phrasing fit the band a bit better. Ricky sounds brutal, but the band sounds more generic overall with him.
I've waited years for this!!! And well worth the wait!!!
I've enjoyed the record, i'm glad Frank was featured on the last track!
Terrence is Da Man.. met him a couple of times and got one of his Picks in my collection.
Love the guitar tone, drums and vocals!!!
I met this band too late and only now with this album and I can say with certainty that I love them madly for the technical structure of the songs and simply epic lyrics
The best in the game! Love everything about this album🔥. Everything blends so well. Suffocation always comes with something better and better. Onwards and upwards!!
This album is a brutal and technical masterpiece 🔥
a total uninpired shit
When I get enough money I want to hire this band to play at my kids birthday party’s every year
Needs a few listens to get into it and then it becomes a brutally magical album. Thanks Suffocation!
One of the better albums of 2023
Thank you Suffocation for this muSICK! 🤘
this is kick ass album like always Suffocation !!! thanks for this 🤘😈
How does a band this seasoned put out such a hit of an album?!?! This is bulsh*t levels of greatness.
