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 in New York 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.

"my first time I ever saw Suffocation, and I was blown away...their fucking set was fucking killer." When I saw them, they played most of the Effigy album, Catatonia, and a few from Blood Oath. Best night of my life. I love how Frank Mullen interacts with the crowd.

Their albums don't need any remastering. They're perfect just the way they are. I wouldn't want to hear them any other way.

-S4m- what album of aborted are u referring to? aborted has had many genre changes, first they we're grind, then a freakish mix of brutal and other death metal sub genres, where i don't see any suffocation influence, and the recent ones, i don't know what to call except sold out metal. suffocation copy bands are generally pure BDM bands like "human excoration" and "sapiens end". i'd like to recognize suffo as the father of creative side of BDM, but their new stuff, i can't listen to...

Effigy is fine. Breeding is the only one that needs it, great album that gets overlooked because of the production.
