Suffocation (another Opeth board discovery)

[dolphz]

Well, after reading several times on this board (usually when technical death discussions came up) how great Suffocation are, I finally picked up a cd.

I bought the Effigy of The Forgotton/Pierced From Within double disc re-issue. I listened to Effigy first, I was very inpressed. Then I put on the Pirced from Within disc...


Absolutely amazing disc! I now HAVE to buy every other disc that they released.

How did I miss this band for so long??

Get Despise the Sun, then Human Waste.

Only get Breeding the Spawn if you become a diehard Suffo fan (the production is wretched, but the songs are still great!).

 

[Funeral Portrait]

haha, i picked up that same double disc just tonight \m/

kickass dude

Pierced from Within is quite good.

Welcome to the world of Suffo. I couls say enjoy but I don't know if thats quite what happens when you listen to Suffocation. Maybe endure and be amazed at whats coming out of the speakers.
Anyway great stuff.
And Breeding The Spawn is excellent and yes the production is strange. But check out the rerecording of The title track on Pierced for a sample of what that album could have sounded like.
Man those guitarists always bring to mind that word "insectoid" which one reviwer descibed their solos as sounding like.
The riffs well are indescribable.

Their new song "Deceit" is pretty cool, too. It's got a melody, you just have to find it.

Some of the brutal/technical death bands are doing that now. Putting a melody inside the layers of nois, and waiting for you to deconstruct it.

Last week I bought Effigy for 18.99.

Three days later I saw Effigy/Pierced double-cd at the same store for 18.99

Fuck me.




By the way, is the production of Effigy on that double-cd any better than the original, or is it the same?
