That Dying Fetus hoodie is 🔥

Suffocation is my favorite death metal band by far and Terrance is my favorite death metal guitarist of all time. Thank you Suffocation for everything you have done for my life without ever knowing me. ♥️👑🔥

I think one of the most consistent things in the death metal scene is that there is always some big ass dude doing spinning back kicks in the pit.

I agree the scene back in the late 80 was the best it was so exciting...it's a thing that will never be the same the feeling and just the whole vibe...so glad to be around to witness it and to still be in it...love Death Metal with a passion 🤘🏻

I was 2 in 1988 so I missed out on the good ol days. However I do remember metal's surge in popularity in the U.S. from 2002-2007. Those were fun times.

Frank and Terrance are Correct. The late 80s scene in Long Island was incredible. I remember playing on the bill on Suffo’s very first show , at Sundance. Such great times and so proud of these guys for making such a huge mark on metal. 🫡

I bought the album. Ill buy suffocation over and over again!@ I love what yall do. and thank you for being the bad assed musicians that you all are!!

These suffocation guys are real musicians. Highly sophisticated rhythm patterns in their musical arrangements, out of this world time changes. Very complicated but yet cleverly put together melodic changes that make musical sense. The songs in an entire album are melodic death metal masterpieces no doubt. I will have the honor to see them live someday in the near future. I play the guitar myself and perhaps it is the reason I am more appreciative of their music, because I know how difficult it is to create music at their level.

Melodic development has become rare in this style.

I remember the mid 80' and early 90's sene when bands like D.R.I, Nuclear Assult, Agnostic Front, Naplam Death would play at Fenders Grand Ballroom in long beach, or the country club in reseda, and that just a few bands off the top of my head, and Slayer when they first got started and playing nothing but the club scene, and it was complete Kaos back then... It's good to see bands staying true to their roots, and not letting the record companies dictate what they can write and how they should play their own music, and this is just my own opinion by saying that Metallica basically sold out to those record companies, and stopped playing the really fast cords and drum beats like they use to do when they first got started... If somebody still enjoys listening to new Metallica! that's completely okay with me, but I grew up listing to the real hardcore music that was out there, and when you have been around for as long as I have, you know when bands get soft, or when bands stay true to the hardcore scene, Like Suffocation and Slayer, and I remember when Metallica first came out and was killing it, and then releasing the black album and then falling off after that...

Things change a lot. What I notice the most today is the phones in the air, but also the security. Stage diving is no longer permitted in most places. It's cool to have a video capture of the gigs, or that nobody gets hurt on the dance floor. But it sure takes away a lot of the madness there was back then. Moreover, Suffocation surely remembers absolutely incredible shows, here, in Montreal, at the beginning of the 90s. There were a ton of bands and a scene. The bars have since closed, the bands... disappeared, like a mirage. Little did people know that many of those disappeared bands would be very successful today. The successes of metalica, megadeth, slayer, suffocation, napalm death and others were not expected. Nobody expected that. This is another reason why the scene fell apart too.

Exactly how they explained it. Scene back then late 80's early 90's super crazy!!!

Awesome. Totally agree with the guys. The old school scene was the bomb and since things were new and people were young, there is a need for originality. Long Live Suffocation.

Finally good to hear that people are starting to agree with lars on the whole napster thing.

They are cool guys. Great band.

Hobbs is a cool dude.

Charlie's like yeah you guys think you're seen was always the best scene back in our day we listen to hardcore and death metal and all different kinds of other stuff

I preordered last night. It better be here by Friday.

I loved the scene when no one knew what it was and it had this dark, gritty, DIY nature to it(thank you hardcore punk). Now its matured but that took the edge off it that made it feel special. And yes Terrance is correct, Lars was right even though Metallica had more money than they knew what to do with, if it was anyone else saying it it wouldn't have gotten the same exposure

Confirms my own observations of the scene, things have settled down since this musical genre first emerged.

I remember seeing these guys back in my high school days back at the wetlands in NYC in the late 90's.. great memories

Different times back then indeed

Saw suffocation play multiple times back then, 80's and 90's was metal craziness. the messed up part is, that type of metal was underground, you didn't see metal heads everywhere, but metal heads would crawl out from under every stone to go to a show, and show would happen every week. we saw all those bands play at nightclubs, you could drink and bs with the bands, fuck that stadium crap.

OMG THIS ALBUM IS FUCKING SICK!!!!

damn right !!!

Cuz fucking rap n pop is taking over

Like everything in life, the more you mix things up the less interesting they get.

Alright haters. You gotta at least respect what this band has pioneered into the metal we hear today. We wouldn't have harsh growling vocals, or even the bomb blast if it weren't for Suffocation.

whats the song playing in the back?

Samuel J. Lagueux Your last breathe, their new song.

Literally the grandfathers of deathmetal! Serious respect!

Regardless of the good ol day's mentality schtick, I have to agree with them to some extent. Another reason the scene isn't as good is because of the incremental social engineering done by the record labels themselves. Songs like "Smells Like Teen Spirit" (even though it's not a metal song) are still anthemic because the saw through the smoke screen of the industry itself. The reality is that the music industry wants to take advantage of the emotions, angst, life situations, etc. of impressionable young people to divide them from normally should be a safe zone and turn them into slaves to corporate media and ultimately the state. They don't just your money, they want your soul, and the bands, like on that Nirvana album cover of Nevermind, are just used as bait to lure them in. That's why the music industry is so bad EVERYWHERE in EVERY GENRE today. It's an incremental cancer that has festered over time.

Yeah people didn't want to hear Lars' whistle blowing and thought he was just being a selfish businessman and sellout. Itunes wasn't the answer, that's for sure. People need to get back in to vinyls, that shit's way cooler.

Death metal - and metal in general - started running out of fresh ideas right around the year 2000. Ever since then, it’s been 20+ years of regurgitation. Hey, come to think of it, that’s a great name for a band!

Scene never changed. The people did...

Undoubtedly, Death Metal started in the late '80s and early '90s and today's bands are continuing what the originators started. Some may say they're just copying. It has evolved, too, and there's new styles but honestly to me those styles are shit haha. And today's sound production is just... different, too. The older records sound... darker, in my opinion. Some kids today appreciate the older bands but I can understand if it's not from one's generation. People tend to mostly stick to stuff from their own generation. It's a normal thing and I understand that. Things just move on. Change is inevitable. The new generations replace the older ones. :)

@Halberstramshaberdashery

@@SeverinoSE It has evolved no doubt but I think another reason that the late-late 1980's to early nineties scene was so memorable was because of how much the sound and technicality of the music advanced from say 1988 to 1992/3. For me the album that blew me away the most as a a quantum leap forward in the playing technicality back then was when I heard Death's Human album from 1991, particularly Sean Reinert's drumming. He introduced a ton of creativity and technique on that album. Also one of the major reasons on the death metal drumming side of things is how much the bass drum pedal technology has advanced since then. Drummers can achieve incredible speeds with the direct drive pedals from brands like Axis, Trick and now the more longstanding companies like DW and Pearl have direct drive models. Really expensive but really cutting edge design and manufacturing. Back in the early 1990's the top of the line pedal was the DW5000.

Yeah, it kinda depends on the genre. Nobody likes death metal where I'm from. My band always gets opening spot if a venue gets us on the lineup and then the metalcore and deathcore bands go next even if their sound isn't as tight as it should be. The core scene seems to get more attention compared to the death metal scene. I guess death metal is too old school aha. Gotta djent with the times and play slow edgy open note breakdowns.

Pandaweed Xl it can be good and technical but everybody copies each other like mumble rappers and trap rappers. It sucks cuz out here everyone sounds the same and some of the bands have an awful muddy sound. It's easy for most folk to get into I guess. Everyone gets down with their donkey kicks but when my band goes up people just stare. Lol We're starting to bring up our own death metal scene now though so I'm pretty excited for 2018. I like some of the core bands but it does get old since no one is original with it.

I dont really get people that pay money to go to gigs or movies or shows and then spend the night on their phones but thats what they want to do so really it doesn't matter in the end.
