Suffocation: Guy, Derek, Mike, Terrance, Frank.
File this one under "Don't Fix It if It Ain't Broken." Suffocation's seventh full-length--and third since its comeback on Relapse Records--finds the band sticking to the formula that has made them death-metal legends: cataclysmic twin guitar heaviness, technical virtuosity, and guttural vocals. The band also rises above genre trappings with flashes of genius--most notably in the drumming of Mike Smith whose beats are so unrelenting, they come off as a satanic amalgam of techno, Cajun, and Afro-funk.
Regardless of wheter you're a death metalhead or not, you have to respect a group like Suffocation -- for being around as long as they've been, and for continually sticking to their guns through thick and thin. Trends may come and go, but you can always count on the Suffocation chaps for a healthy dose of punishing drumbeats, frantic doomsday riffing, and vocals so devilish that Beelzebub himself is probably green with envy. The group's 2006 self-titled release offers more of the same, but that's obviously the way the boys like it, as evidenced by such assaults on the senses as "Abominations Reborn" (on which drummer Mike Smith offers some impressive metronome-like beats), while you know what you're in for by just gazing at such other song titles as "Bind Torture Kill." Longtime Suffocation fanatics will surely be pleased. ~ Greg Prato Suffocation Music Review Average Rating: (4 out of 5 stars)   Total devastation
Suffocation are legends already, and their new album is a potential classic. Braisplashing groovy riffs and president of Hell with the microphone. Together with NILE, they are the best brutal death metal bands of all times.

 what a downfall
I wasnt happy with this album. Bad lyrics. They have gone downhill since Doug Cerrito and Chris Richards left after Despise The Sun.

BRUTAL.
this cd is unrelenting and vicious. the drums are just straight up pummeling. the lyrics are written really choppy, but thats a minor note not a complaint or criticism.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Translucent Patterns of Delirium
Pierced from within back 10 years ago was a monumental album. In my opinion, they haven't put out a bad album. This one jumped out a LOT more for me than Souls to Deny did. Everything from the artwork, to the photography and of course the music and its production is TIP TOP. Pick up this one and the new Deicide for sure. I was blown away at the new Decide lineup and sound...their best since ONce upon the cross. Anyways, I am rambling. This is my 2nd fav next to Pierced. Check out the song Regret.

| | Decapitated Organic Hallucinosis CD (2006)
Suffocation
$13.29
Recording information: Hertz Studios, Bialystok, Poland (08/2005).
With the departure of their founding vocalist -- the heartwarmingly named Sauron -- the remaining members of Polish death metal veterans Decapitated have apparently decided to mark the installment of his successor, Covan, with a wholesale change of direction for their fourth studio album, Organic Hallucinosis. Launching off of their new frontman's more versatile skills in delivering various stages of deathly grunting, the band has stepped up the complexity of their songwriting to match, while establishing a non-traditional death metal aesthetic somewhere between the lopsided time signatures of Meshuggah and down-tuned power grooves of Pantera. And even though the exceedingly challenging results ...

Suffocation
$10.75
Personnel: George "Corpsegrinder" Fisher (vocals); Rob Barrett, Pat O'Brien (guitar); Paul Mazurkiewicz (drums); Erik Rutan (background vocals).
Audio Mixer: Erik Rutan.
Recording information: Mana Recording Studios, St. Petersburg, FL (10/2005-12/2005).
Photographer: Alex Solca.
One of the most infamous and censored death metal bands ever, Cannibal Corpse celebrates their 10th album with one titular sentiment: KILL. That's pretty much what it does, too. KILL reminds us who put the death in death metal, combining relentless and intense sounds with lyrics that couple Grand Guignol thrills with slasher-film imagery. Wiry, almost progressive time and tempo shifts choke out the intense riffage and bend it into dramatic extremes, as evidenced on "Five Nails in the Neck" and the assaultive introduction of "Brain Removal Police," exacting and technical in its delivery, much like the rest of the album. Designed almost solely to gross out those who dare read ...

Audio Mixer: Andy Classen .
Recording information: Stage One Studios, Kassel, Germany (11/12/2005-02/04/2006).
Introduction by: Andy Classen .
Along with raging against the Catholic Church and promoting the apocalypse in the name of their ol' buddy Satan, Austria's Belphegor have always prided themselves on delivering the most brutal, lightning-fast combination of death and black metal imaginable -- over and over again, album after album. 2006's Pestapokalypse VI is yet another example of this enterprise; opening with a track that's helpfully entitled "Belphegor -- Hell's Ambassador," before unleashing a veritable deluge of similarly frenzied sonic typhoons. These invariably contain eye-popping displays of high-velocity musicianship set to suspiciously machine-like percussion, and, at their best (check ...

| | New Religion Asian Diary PT. 2 - Bali CD (2004)
Suffocation
$11.39
Bali is one of the most beautiful places on the planet. So beautiful, that in it's surroundings, Scott was inspired to write and record more than an albums worth of music. A real "hidden" gem here is "Aku Cinta Kamu" a song that was considered for the BLISS release. It has a great island flair and even has a local [bahasa indonesia] chorus. Another song written in Bali; "Bigger than us both" did end up on the BLISS cd. You can notice the move here from funk to pop and ballads with only 2 funky/ groove oriented songs here ("Baby Don't Fade" and "Heart Of Glass"). "I Will Be Here" is a POP IS ART song, but this is an early version sounding MUCH different, with a "You've got a friend" vibe. "You can go your own way" a beautiful heartfelt ballad of break up is given a special touch by the sounds of Balinese birds chirping in the background (you can especially hear them when the music pauses). The Lyrics still retaining a very personal feel; like entries in a Diary.New Religion Bio:New Religion was formed in the early 90's. After disbanding his previous project and taking some time off, Scott decided to start work on something new ....something different. So he put this band together, based around the idea that not only would the songs be pop and danceable, but the show would be explosive. It took him a while to get the right ingredients together, so there were personnel changes, but the New Religion lineup that really clicked was: Scott McGinley on vocals, guitar, and keys, Lenny Barber on Bass, Mario Rivera on guitar, Tim Houseman on keys, Mickey D rapping, percussion, and head spinning, Shawn C. on percussion and energy, and Bobby DuAime on drums.After gaining a following in the Philly/New York scene with their self releases: AFRO-ADESIAC & PHILLY PHUNK, and some interest from small labels (Roberta Flack's label and Bill Aucoin-Kiss's former manager), manager Jeff Deutch proposed the band to try a new approach; move to the other side of the world! Asia was (and is) the quickest growing record buying market....it made sense on paper-but it just was so scary to leave homes, friends and work and move indefinitely to the other side of the world. In the end Jeff convinced the boys to take the chance, and after playing the 1st show, they knew it was a good decision. New Religion toured many countries including Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Thailand, and while playing 6 nights a week, they also spent time doing magazine, radio and tv interviews. In the midst of all this Scott was writing great new material, but there was a switch going on in the sound of the band. While the funk songs had an exciting stage show with choreography and alot of energy, the pop songs were getting radio attention. [Some songs from this time period can be heard on Asian Diary pt1] As the interest of radio turned to the pop songs, that became the focus of Scott's writing. "I always enjoy writing all different kinds of music, so I jot down ideas in my little book all the time" says Scott, "but if someone is interested in just certain songs, those are the ones that I work on finishing, producing, and recording." New Religion started out in Jakarta Indonesia, went on to play Malaysia, Singapore, China, and on to Bali Indonesia. After a few successful self releases in several of these countries, New Religion signed a deal with Modern Art records and returned to the US to record their first major release [music from this time period can be heard on Asian Diary pt2 Bali].
