All you need to know.

It'll be the Effigy lineup but without Doug Cerrito. Awesome news.

F'in fantastic! Best news I've heard all day. Or week, I dunno. Despise the Sun was immense, but not long enough - hopefully we'll get a follow up now...

Hello, I'm new by the way.

IS THIS A FUCKIN JOKE !!!!!! SUFFOCATION !!!!!!
YESSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!

WE'LL THIS IS A GREAT NEWS BUT THEY'LL MISS CERRITO ALOT.

__________________

i read this a couple weeks ago, too bad Cerrito isn't in the line up.

Holy shit.

I'm sure most of you have heard the news that Suffocation is getting back together to tour and write a new album.
But it's going to be a little bit different of a line-up.
Doug Cerrito (one of the Guitarist's) isn't coming back, and neither is Josh Barohn (Bass).
the Bassist of Internal Bleeding is joining, and I think Chris is going to be the second Guitarist (I forgot what album(s) he was on).

I think this is good, and bad.
First off.....
Bad thing is, Mike Smith (Drums), and Terrance Hobbs (Guitars) aren't really into Death Metal anymore.
You can check out Mike Smith's current project titled "Grimm Evil" on mp3.com

And I don't think they will have that much attack as a Grind band as they did before, but then you have to think, they're old too.
The good thing is, that SUFFOCATION IS BACK TOGETHER!

I want all your thought's, and opinion's on this... whoever is interested.

Anything less than "Despise the Sun" part 2 may well be a bit disappointing. If Mike's got a project on the go then would he mind reverting to his Effigy style? Hard to tell, but it's always sadder to see great bands come back with a lame effort than to go out in a 15 minute blaze of glory.

I was thinking if Mike is going to go back to his Effigy style Drumming as well, I hope he does, he fucking shreds (or used to).

Well, I wouldn't mind seeing them again, I'm sure they will play the classics, and they might do a good job at it. I'm still going to see how they are now, live.

He he, looks like it's just us two on this one.

Good point about playing the classics - if they're reforming to tour initially, then I guess they're kinda obliged to play the back catalogue . No bad thing at all. I think they're sensible enough not to then come out with something that's completely at odds with what they've done before.

If I hear that they've hired a female vocalist then ignore everything I've just said...

This link is of no real use at the moment, but it might get more interesting:

Yeah, I was kind of expecting INVERTED and Memnoch to post here, guess there isn't that many people here that know of good music like Suffocation, but oh well. Their loss....


I'm looking forward to them playing their classics, I know they will, because they know we want them to!

I already posted about the new Suffocation in this thread started about a week before yours.

I only have one Suffocation CD, and it's "Human Waste". I like it a lot, but i'm no Suffocation expert, so i don't really have much else to say except that i'm looking forward to this new album.

Brutal metal rules!

__________________

"Human Waste" is just a demo.

Buy "Effigy of the forgotten","Breeding the spawn" and "Pierced from Within" before they're out of print like most early nineties roadrunner/roadracer deathmetal releases seem to get lately.

"Despise the sun" was re-released by Relapse recently,that one crushes too allthough it's only 5 songs. I have the original Vulture records version.

__________________

I think Human Waste was the only Suffocation album at the store. But i'll try getting my hands on one of those.

This is a little off topic, but i'm sure you or orcy would know. Are Gorguts' first 2 albums out of print? They were on RoadRunner (i think) and those albums were in the earlier 90's......but i can't find em anywhere, only the newer 2.

__________________

I REALLY LIKE SUFFOCATION... IF I'M INTO DEATH METAL NOW IT'S BECAUSE OF THEM. ALL THEIR ALBUM ARE GREAT BUT FOR A NEWER FAN I WOULDN'T SUGGEST
BREEDING THE SPAWN... THE PRODUCTION SUCK REALLY BAD...IT'S SAD BECAUSE
IT COULD HAVE BEEN THEIR BEST ALBUM. IT TOOK ME AGE TO LISTEN TO IT
OBJECTIVELY AND TAKE THE PRODUCTION ASIDE.

"BUT FOR A NEWER FAN I WOULDN'T SUGGEST
BREEDING THE SPAWN"

True.



Effigy of The Forgotten is one of the best albums I think. I love those triplets on Inbreeding The Spawn.

I like Perced From Within best. I havn't heard Breeding the Spawn yet but I will pick it up soon.

Breeding the spawn sounds good to me,except for the bassdrums which don't sound as nice as on the other albums. The guitars sound a little more trebblier too. The bass sounds absolutely awesome though. It's a deathmetal classic.

As for the Gorguts albums: I don't know,they could be out of print or close to it. Anyway Roadrunner stopped printing most of those death metal records in the late nineties,the ones that are still made have been re-released like the Sepultura,Obituary and Deicide albums. But the original Roadracer of those releases are rare too (I have them though ).

Yaeh, it's hard to find some Gorguts albums.
Well, all of them except From Wisdom To Hate.


Same goes for Immolation, you can only find Close To A World Below.

Even though I have all the Suffocation albums, I just don't see them in stores when I'm looking around in S catagories. That's a bummer man.

I think I saw or I read somewhere that Chris from Suffocation was discussing a reunion of the last 5 members of Suffocation. Can anyone confirm this, that would really kick ass to see them live man!

IT SHOULD BE TRUE SINCE IT'S ON THEIR OFFICIAL WEB SITE

yeah i believe they're playing a metal festival in the states this spring

Human Waste is not a demo. It's an EP. They had one demo, Reincremation, which I have online for those interested.

As far as Breeding the Spawn goes, I found it to be my favorite to listen to on my diskman while on the road or walking down the street. While walking, you really get a chance to concentrate more on the riffing than the production, and that's the point where you can really see how awesome the album is.

It's definitely the most technical death metal album this side of Necrophagist's "Onset of Putrefaction". For those about to respond with a "Cryptopsy are more technical than Suffocation", no, they are not.

hello fellow metal fucks, its your fave poster jesus christ!!!!

i heard that suffo are going to do another album along with the reunion.
is there truth to this?
ps you all suck and should listen to ricky scaggs.

yes, truth there is.

I want more suffocation, the stuff I got from them kick ass, especially the human waste re-issue

I'VE HEARD THAT THEY'RE TOURING RIGHT NOW BUT NOTHING ABOUT A NEW ALBUM SOON.

DOES ANYONE KNOW IF CERRITO IS BACK OR IF IT'S ONLY TERRANCE HOBBS
AND WHO'S THE DRUMMER MIKE SMITH?, DAVE CULROSS?, DOUG BOHN?....

shit that would be crushing if they did another album with culross.
culross is god!!!!!! anyone know what band he is in now?

I heard cullross was going to do a Death tribute album with some guys, I think he's in Hate Plow now?

Yes they are putting a new album out. Check the Relapse site.

*drool*

Indeed he is.

By the way, I think the tribute is with James Murphy, Brett Hoffman, Dave Culross and Deron Miller. Basically as a means of paying James Murphy's medical expenses.

Do you think this Suffocation cd will be the most Heaviest they have released?

SUFFOCATION Name New CD - Nov. 12, 2003

Reunited New York death metallers SUFFOCATION have set "Souls To Deny" as the title for their first full-length release since 1995's "Pierced From Within", tentatively due in the spring through Relapse Records. The songwriting process for the follow-up to the 1998 "Despise The Sun" EP has reached the midway point and plans exist for the band to self-produce the CD during January.

On Saturday November 15, SUFFOCATION are scheduled to be playing on the main stage (from 7:45 p.m. until 8:30 p.m.) at the New Jersey Metal And Hardcore Festival in Asbury Park, New Jersey. Other bands slated to play the same night on the same stage include HATE ETERNAL, DEICIDE, NILE, TYPE O NEGATIVE and CRADLE OF FILTH.

SUFFOCATION's current lineup consists of founding members Frank Mullen (vocals), Terrance Hobbs (guitar), Mike Smith (drums) and Josh Barohn (bass), plus longtime friend Guy Marchais (guitar, formerly of PYREXIA and INTERNAL BLEEDING).

AHH..... THAT MAKE MY DAY

NEW CD IN THE SRPING !!!!!!!!!
