should be fun nonetheless.

That's the lineup I saw last year. Fantastic show.

they have always been amazing every time I have seen them and their frontman's goombah between song banter has always been totally boneheaded and alienating every time I have seen them.
But they once played my screamed request for "Infecting the Crypts" so, I gotta give it up. Suffocation rules!

I saw them last year and I didn't enjoy myself at all. but it wasn't them - I was so drunk by the time the show began everything was a blur.
and I was having trouble figuring out why things seemed 'off'. like the frontman didn't look like the guy I thought was the frontman, even though I saw Terrence Hobbs on guitar/etc. realized only last week it's cos Ricky Myers of Disgorge was on vocals and he looks nothing like Mullen.
I will still admit I am not into the last two Suffo albums. they're not *bad* but they don't sound like Suffocation to me, even though they're obviously tech death. (I will still rep for Souls to Deny and the s/t, though).
but if I get my dosage of the classics I'll be golden.
the wounds from the Deicide show (which was two weeks ago) haven't quite healed yet, so I might need my health ID card handy.

For a good six months to a year they were the most obnoxious thing I had ever heard.Ha, same with me, though in my case this was circa 2013. Now I could spend all day listening to Effigy and Pierced From Within.― jmm, Monday, July 13, 2015 4:05 PM (4 months ago)

jk that's a tuune
on first listen to the new one, might be my fav since the s/t. i was less warm towards the previous two Suffocation albums but this one brings back some of the missing savagery and more breakdownz.

on five or six listens I fuckin love the new one. maybe even my fav post-reunion alb but I need some time to arrive at that.

I never get tired of Effigy. Tech death is better when it's also brutal like this. Less so when it's the paper thin shit like Necrophagist

just got an Effigy pic disc. i never tire of listening to this album. or PIerced. the others are great but this is the one I can never leave.
plus they slayed so much the last time I saw them ten years ago back in January.

I almost never say this but I'd love to hear a remix of Effigy. It's an album I dearly love but I've never been a fan of Scott Burns' Swimmer's Ear production

I keep having this problem where I wanna listen to new death metal but I always wanna listen to Effigy first.

like I put something else out and I keep thinking about the breakdown in "Infecting the Crypts" and i immediately switch over.
btw they have another live alb coming out
new live album unnecessary but a nice little time capsule of Frank's last tour on stage.
his banter with his Long Island accent kills me

this band basically birthed the new school of cloney brutal death and deathcore bands, didn't they?
I mean they also inspired a buncha good bands too but I feel like all of that lineage comes from their breakdowns which were used the right way but bands that are inspired often take the wrong things

just realized today that while I'm laser-focused on Frank's vocals on Breeding the Spawn and Effigy, I've tuned them out on Pierced because - they sound different! I had noticed a vocal pattern of his on "Thrones of Blood" that I wasn't familiar with because he kind of sits more in the background there.
very odd - idk if it was just the production or if he was using diff technique but he was more intelligible, the growl a little less deep and a little more phlegmatic.
