New York, United States (1990 – present)
Suffocation, one of the earliest American death metal bands, arranged heavy, uniquely rhythmic, riffs into complex song structures to create a sub-genre of the form often termed “brutal” death metal - also known by many as “New York Death Metal,” or “nydm” for short. Others in this form include Immolation, Incantation, Skinless, and Morpheus Descends.
The band formed in 1990 and has since released many highly-regarded recordings on several labels, including the former powerhouse of the genre, Roadrunner. Their debut, Effigy of the Forgotten, is considered a classic by most, topping the charts of many fans’ “all-time favorites” lists. Also worth noting is their debut EP, Human Waste, which was the first official release on relapse records in 1991.
The band went through a few member changes before briefly disbanding after their release, Despise the Sun, only to re-emerge in 2004 with the album, Souls to Deny. A video for the song, Surgery of Impalement, has been featured on such outlets as Headbanger’s Ball and Uranium.
In 2006, They released the self-entitled, Suffocation on Relapse. A videoclip was made for the song, Abomination Reborn. The song and (most of) the band was featured in a commercial for, appropriately enough, The History Channel’s series, Dark Ages.

Yeah, and our compatibility comes from bands who all have more then 10 million plays. + I've barely even listened to Cannibal Corpse and Behemoth. And it would seem unlikely that you would dislike pretty much every band in your top 20. And if you truly dislike them, why would you feel offended?

Slayer is superior to Bring Me The Horizon and Trivium in every conceivable way. Slayer's first 3 albums are some of the best thrash metal albums ever. Not that I'd expect that you would be able to appreciate good music, after all you do listen to deathcore and metalcore. (And quite a lot)
