I've been listening to a lot of tapes this week because I have been driving my dad's truck, which only has a tape player in the truck. So today's edition is Suffocation.Suffocation holds a special place in metal history. They are highly revered in the metal scene despite helping to launch two metal subgenres that are widely reviled: deathcore and slam death. I enjoy slam death a little bit but haven't cared much for most deathcore that I have heard, other than Through the Eyes of the Dead.
This is the band's debut full length album and they already exhibit all of the characteristics that have made the band so well-regarded. The band utilizes heavy breakdowns, razor sharp riffs, heavy low end, deep guttural vocals, and blast beats. Suffocation was quite possibly the first brutal death metal band, and they basically invented blast beats. The band had already reached its potential. Suffocation has never put out a bad album.
