- SUFFOCATION FINALLY PUBLISH THEIR LONG DESIRED ALBUM!
A good four years separate rager »Pinnacle Of Bedlam« from new killer »…Of The Dark Light«. But it wasn’t always like this. Back in the ‘90s, SUFFOCATION maniacs waited, at most, two years between old and new fixes of New York-styled brutality. Landmark full-length »Effigy Of The Forgotten« was only two years removed from debut EP, »Human Waste«. Likewise, »Breeding The Spawn« slayed posers and pretenders a year and a half after »Effigy Of The Forgotten« blueprinted SUFFOCATION into the history books. And »Pierced From Within«, the wickedest death metal put to tape in the mid-‘90s, slammed fist first into mediocrity and mundanity two years after »Breeding The Spawn«. Clearly, there were times when SUFFOCATION’s march towards total annihilation was fast and furious.
“There’s a reason we don’t put out records every two years now,” asserts long-time SUFFOCATION guitarist and primary songwriter Terrance Hobbs. “For one, we don’t need to. Two, we tour more now than we did in the early days. And three, we’re no longer in our twenties. We all have lives and families now. Plus, I enjoy writing things and letting them organically mature. For example, I started writing songs for »…Of The Dark Light« right after »Pinnacle Of Bedlam«.”
