[@GeorgRavioli]

I love how the last song on the album is "Beginning of Sorrow". Makes sense, it's a sad time when a Suffocation album ends.

[@SacredBurn0ut]

I agree with that. Its all metal and we should be a community that welcomes newcomers and not breathe down their neck about what they should and shouldn't listen to.

[@sergiosanches9176]

The best death metal band .Suffocation is the band

[@ryanblacknayr8877]

can't we all just get along? Suffocation is Suffocation... end of story.

[@aikhooligan]

i have listened to the new album many times already and suffocation ARE at a level higher than everyone else. it is instantly recognizable as suffocation. they have risen the bar yet again. the production is the only thing that has changed.

[@reubenchadwick]

No body will ever get close to being as great as suffocation. That's a fact.

[@ThisNameIsVeryClever]

It's too bad I can't start off every day by listening to a new song by Suffocation.

[@aikhooligan]

i listen to suffocation. that is well and truly documented.

[@AleksRockZilla]

Damn , I was surprised to see Mike not in the band again...but Culross is also a true beast!!! SO far so good ...hopefully the whole album will be this good.

[@santiagocardenasagnic9021]

I WILL HAVE TO BUY THIS, PERIOD.

[@aikhooligan]

at least we can all agree that suffocation and aikhooligan kick ass.

[@SargonnasIncarnate]

There are moments nowadays when I wonder what happened to decent death metal. But whenever Suffocation releases an album, I am reminded of why my love for the genre grew steadily through the 90's and why I'm still an addict. \m/

[@MysticMindAnalysis]

This isn't my usual area of musical tastes, but I still quite enjoy this song! I'll check out more Suffocation stuff.

[@hdn8142]

イケメンすぎる曲。 Suffocation的にどうなの？ってとこはあるけど、ええやんな。 こんなカッコいい曲は、なかなかお目にかかれないと思う。

[@MetalDefender1]

Best DM Band of all time!! Hands down!

[@JustSomeBoredGamer]

Great way to start the morning.

[@chriss2864]

The new album is fucking killer, good work. 20 + years and not a single misstep in your entire discography.

[@cockybalboa2]

This song sounds vicious. The more I listen to it, the more I like it.

[@HazardousMidget]

still a fantastic band throughout all these years...I mean, they DID release Effigy of the forgotten, and nothing, absolutely nothing beats that album.

[@borbor78]

My everyday prayer......andJésus wept..... No kidding.bmy all Time favorite songs.

[@Blood_fog]

This song kicks fucking ass. I can tell this will be No. 1 DM album of the year.

[@justinhernandez7883]

Death didn't create the genre himself but it sure hell wouldn't be what it is today without their influences !!

[@fetusrapeband]

SUFFOCATION,one of my best bands ever!!!!!!!!!

[@Baldodeathmetal]

I held my breath for the whole video to make it sound more awesome.

[@bobbymurphy3247]

The reason it doesn't sound like their earlier work is because of Culross. Amazing drummer,& suffocation is still one of my favorite bands! Bands go different ways,try new things,but suffocation is still at the top of the heap!!!

[@zayhertz-deeprest878]

Suffocation is one band that NEVER compromised and tried to make their musick more widely 'listenable' to get their foot in the door of a mainstream market. Bless them for that, the best death metal band to have ever been spawned, and Pierced From Within, fucking FLAWLESS. The blueprint for good, and brutal death metal, Pierced is the equivalent to the bible in the death metal world. And Effigy, Despise The Sun, etc... They have NEVER released something that sucked, and evidently, never will!

[@saemi941]

the new album rulez, definetely a buy worth

[@stormentvaurnora2041]

I've been around here for a while, i'm not saying my english is flawless but this one just topped everything ._.

[@cortarelva]

Suffocation is Brutal Death Metal.

[@MrDanscurtu]

I think every death metal video should have lyrics on always!!!!

[@urielmartinez4558]

Yes!... they're still alive! Great song...

[@aikhooligan]

suffocation own death metal. always have and always will.

[@nstvotvzoso1]

Just saw them last night. Absolutely crazy, they played this song

[@BeastLordofMetal]

When you learn the lyrics, the vocals sound even better.

[@Takowa13]

Awesome album cover!

[@corpsefiend666]

I've probably listened to this song ten times in a row. Seriously can't get enough of it. So fucking powerful.

[@BruceDureaultJr]

Always awesome!!!!!!! (Born To Darkness) Palm Bay Fl.

[@metalfan6663]

Man fell from his grace, And strayed from the path His anger now intolerable, insidious Behold the pale white horse Hooded messenger of death is now set forth His dismal gaze cripples souls Renounce the seven deadly sins The air unfit to breathe The water poisoned by a blessing Darkened skies witness the final sunset Red rain showering from the heavens As grace descends Barren lands diseased Complete collapse of conditions Burning, searing, putrid air Inhale the toxic atmosphere Asphyxiate, drown in blood Boils the flesh and eat through tissue Torrid winds, oceans freeze Torrential acid rain The ground quakes separates Denying life, as grace descends Volcanic debris consumes those left alive Denying life, the extinction Witness as grace descends

[@Chuloloc]

Awesome. Long Live Suffocation.

[@rtheundying]

I LOVE the cover art!

[@antropophagus1977]

That was awesome! Still brutal. I can't wait to hear the entire album.

[@kramentor]

Always imitated, never duplicated!!!... SUFFOCATION FTW!

[@BruceDureaultJr]

Great song!!!!!!!!! You guy's rule!!!!!!!

[@sergiodcalil]

Suffocation never fail!!!

[@7dayspking]

I never said they sucked, I said all bands are on the same level and it's the fans who choose who to support. You were the one saying everything sucked and that One band is better than others.

[@aikhooligan]

i heard that before chuck died he met with suffocation and they agreed that they would all start playing "technical death metal". they also asked if they could borrow your can of hairspray.

[@crazyweirdomimicers]

That sound reminds me of yet another more satisfying and gratifying band, Ingested. Don't know bout you but Ingested was pretty enjoyable for me. And thanks for introducing me to the band. It's pretty good.

[@burrito1331]

I had a dream last night that summer slaughter announced 4 bands for 2013. They were suffo headlining. Then the faceless then all shall perish then revocation.

[@Khalis33]

We came here to enjoy the music aren't we, people of all faiths? So lets get over our faiths and just enjoy this freakin music. Only the strong can tolerate.

[@LouisMinett]

This album will be good!

[@UnderwhelmingPlywood]

I would agree that deathcore is essentially the pop sub genre of metal, but I've always been able to enjoy it. It's not the greatest music you'll find in metal, but it's still good when you find the right bands. Suffocation is definitely more death metal than core. Their riffing is borderline thrash.

[@Enterathrashmetal]

Great Song!!

[@EspecimenMalo]

GREAT ALBUM!!!

[@MarcoEscalante1]

guys,no reason to criticize what the band's doing now, as for the modern sound etc, all bands grow and have new sounds, for the ones crying about the old suffocation or old sound/style.. THAT'S WHY THOSE ALBUMS WERE MADE so you can listen to them when you're wanting the older sound! just enjoy the damn new tracks or put in the old shit.

[@garethlewis1626]

Enjoyed every second!!! Unsung fathers of Tech-Death in my opinion- new album sounds killer!

[@7dayspking]

Glad you enjoyed it, ever heard septic fleshes old material (1991-1997(ish) I think you'll like it A lot if you haven't heard any, it's got some slight symphonic elements but is very much death/doom (and gothic doom). It shares some similarities to suffo.

[@ringsofsaturn666]

amen brother!!

[@CreepingDeath018]

thats true death metal!

[@DarktoriaX]

AWESOME cover art

[@Samanthalunamusic13]

i can't believe i survived seeing their set live. i'm surprised i didn't have three cracked ribs...

[@TheBigdev23]

i no that what i love about take all the great things about each genre i love when bands do that then the same thing every band does

[@BluntAnims]

Thankyou.

[@7dayspking]

I know many metal fans in person and I myself am one. I'm not a fan of deathcore, metalcore, nu metal, glam metal or even some forms of doom (although I love the genre as a whole TO DEATH.) but my brother was A big fan of deathcore and you learn when you see people in person who enjoy both deathcore and other forms of metal that you just need to accept it. Most metalheads who actually get out there and go to shows realize this.

[@UmJammaLamma]

That riff kind of sounds like Isahn's The Paranoid, I definitley want to get this album now

[@oliverjohn5566]

Gotta love long Island Death Metal!!!!!!!!

[@TheBigdev23]

i like when bands combine sounds and not keep makeing the same albums in that one genre

[@7dayspking]

and the vocals.... and the drumming.... and anything shred of technical BRUTAL death metal they had left. It's you're opinion that they are at a level higher than everybody else, that's YOUR opinion. Even if they played their older work now it wouldn't be levels above the rest, some people may see it that way but no band is above another one. Maybe you'd like to explain in depth why this is better than millions of bands around the world?

[@Rust1nPeace2112]

Hello, yes you! Don't scroll down stay up here and listen to the music because down below some metal elitists are trying to prove how much more they know about metal than each other.

[@YouNoob93]

Congrats

[@saemi941]

YEAH DEATH METAL is the metal of all metal (BRUTAL and SLAM)

[@aikhooligan]

thanks, mate.

[@SacredBurn0ut]

Yup that is pretty much what I was trying to say. Just be cool to others and share the music we like

[@metalvocalistwanted]

ready to hear the album! \m/

[@Adversaryan]

Suffocation Owns.

[@maskedmosher]

love the album art work. thats some truly inspired shit.

[@mijicynic4918]

love this band!!!! awesome \m/

[@rioputra6806]

come again to Indonesia and brought this song. must have been very great

[@slimewave6]

dope song

[@7dayspking]

Actually this new technical death metal style was a change to make their music more "listenable" they changed to fit the market. Everyone wants bands that sound like Job for a cowboy, the faceless, 7 horns 7 eyes, burning the masses and beneath the massacre and suffocation followed this trend. That doesn't mean this album WILL BE any worse, it's just a different style BUT you were wrong.

[@NicolasSilvaVasault]

you actually in the right, this is marketing, music for the new metal listeners

[@carrloss1976]

You too, you too!!

[@pacman69player]

I like the way you explain your opinion over Suicide Silence, you're a great metalhead ! Over SS I just want to say that it's a great band, they introduce me to death metal so there are not only idiots on them video ^^

[@7dayspking]

You have to understand that deathcore is ultimately a subgenre of death metal and metalcore.... just as technical death metal, brutal death metal and melodic death metal are and It's not fair to compare the diversity of an entire genre to a single sub genre. There are many different looks and sounds in all of these sub genres (Deathcore included.)

[@VM0451]

This accually sounds pretty old-school for a new death metal album. That gives me a good reason to look further into it, because most new metal albums had this newer distortion sound I don't really like.

[@magio420]

excelente

[@7dayspking]

Thanks mate, sorry I was a week late.

[@guilemaigre14]

really like this riff

[@InterceptorOfDoom]

Terrance - stoned as fuuuucck !! i love this guy !

[@7dayspking]

I agree with you to a point, I only listen to Death metal because of the music although I happen to enjoy the community as well.... generally...

[@7dayspking]

This is death metal a form of extreme metal music. In death metal bands use growling and guttural vocals with the rare shriek or scream. This is a very different vocal style to clean singing (and like singing there are many different techniques, sounds, styles and different levels of talent.)

[@666Tard]

This album is fucking amazing!

[@7dayspking]

I wouldn't say that.... Deathcore actually tends to be A lot simpler and is aimed at being catchy rather than difficult. I'd say their record labels put A LOT OF THOUGHT into the riffs they play.

[@7dayspking]

what people don't realize is that there is only a small amount of "big bands" in a genre. yet there is thousands of bands that don't get a look (people should look at a mass of bands to define what they can expect instead of looking at 5 big bands.) that's been my point the whole time.

[@7dayspking]

I don't, I like a variety of metal genres but that doesn't mean I like every band or album or song in these genres. I'm not one of those people who listens to anything with a guitar and someone screaming into a mic going "oooh amazing" I like well performed deep traditional growling and guttural vocals (and for sining I like operatic AND IN KEY.) I like complex, catchy or inspiring guitar and drumming that fits or compliments the song.

[@AncestorSacramism]

you're a Winner ! maybe i will upload my guitar cover from this song 'As Grace Descends' thats awesome, congratulation friend.

[@govermentufo]

yup all time the best ever

[@7dayspking]

I liked some of their "human waste" release then some of their stuff on pierced from within BUT I love the "depths of depravity" and "Synthetically Revived". Either way I think we can all agree that the song above us doesn't compare to that era of suffocation.

[@BluntAnims]

I would disagree with him being a weak guitarist, but each to their own, I respect your opinions. Terrance and Guy are both great in my opinion, they never run out of material to write, and always deliver. The production of this album isn't as aggressive as usual, but that's more the production then the playing.

[@tigershark421]

Did Suffocation or Mike Smith say why he left the band... again? Met the dude in Ft. Worth, such an awesome guy!
