Death Metal

[The Ozzman]

Then definitely check out Stillborn, thats the biggest knock on it (Production). (Conversation carrying over from a different thread ...sorry )

Same with Breeding the Spawn. I still contend with better production that would be hailed as the best Suffo record

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

Breeding the Spawn is imo one of the best death metal albums of all time. Only faggots complain about the production on that album. People complain about crystal clear production on todays tech-death bands(like that even makes any sense tbh), but yet they were supposedly asking for it back then for that album? I'm going to echo @morguelord and myself here and say that ive only heard people on the internet complaining about "da weak productionz" on that album.

 

[Phylactery]

Yeah, I really like that album. I'm not always in the mood for that kind of swirling chaos that they create, but when I am it hits the spot. The vocals annoyed me at first as they sound very effect laden but I got used to them. Some killer riffs on that album. How do you feel about their follow-up?

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

re: Breeding the Spawn ...Yeah its easily their most twisted and demented album. That's also why Luc Lemay always namedrops it as one of the most influential pieces of work to him.

edit: i also dont hear the effect laden vocals you're talking about

I love Effigy! Their first three albums are death metal landmarks imo. I like all of their stuff, even their S/T and Blood Oath.

 

[EspaDa]

Their new one isn't also that bad. This track rocks

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

not that bad? That album isnt bad at all.

 

[EspaDa]

Nice solos here and there, the new guitarist gave the band a breath of fresh air, but Frank's vocals has deteriorated. It saddens me deeply.

 

[Sirjack]

production sucks arse
this is ok...they're trying to do something different and it's their best since despise the sun

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

... nah, Pinnacle of Bedlam and Souls to Deny are better.

What don't you like about the production?

 

[EspaDa]

Also, drums used to be much better when Mike Smith or Dave Culross were in charge. I like the bass though.

 

[Sirjack]

i'll go with the mike smith comment and yeah l stay to my word, this is their best since despise the sun. and it's pretty fucking good too

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

but you didnt answer my question. What exactly do you not like about the production?

No love for Doug Bohn? I thought Pierced was your favorite Suffo album.

 

[Sirjack]

my old bugbear. nothing's ever as good as it was. thats the production

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

Lol. O OK

nothing's ever as good as it was.

I can get behind this.

 

[The Ozzman]

I'm friends with Doug Bohn on Facebook. Dude is hilarious.

I do agree that the Mike Smith and Dave Culross albums have ridiculous drumming. The Despise the Sun EP is just fucking crushing.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

.... Mike Smith is easily at the top of that list for me.

 

[Sirjack]

of course

I've not seen many metal bands live, but when I saw Suffocation in 2006 on their self titled album tour I was never the same again.

Easily the best of all the bands I've seen live and by a fucking mile to boot.

Agreed + Amon Amarth and Obituary

I got to see the band with Frank which was a treat
