Breeding the Spawn is the 2nd full-length album and demonstrates a more complex and technical side of the band.
"This band's flair for the technical, the chaotic, and the punishing all rolled into one brutal package is simply inhuman!
... From the start of Breeding the Spawn, Suffocation take what logically should be an archetypal slamming death metal album, but they present it with a hint of Vermin's black metal angled lunacy, where everything sounds ever so slightly tilted counter-clockwise, and as it progresses the music hurls demonic bass runs that flick the air like a serpent's tongue, before leading into an arrhythmic breakdowns that straddle the line between the kind of slam that Devourment and every Suffaclone would rip off a decade later and an almost Phantom-esque eschewing of logical flow, never entirely sure when the next beat is going to come until it slaps you in the face like a Tyson haymaker.
That's really the whole Breeding the Spawn album in a nutshell: as unpredictable and creative as a cyclone from Hell shearing the Styx in half with the raw power of every depravity from down below. It's a colossal, pulsating meteor storm of nightmares and rotting spleens.
Suffocation is one of the greatest bands on the planet in the realm of death metal, black metal, and all of their related sub-niches.
Breeding the Spawn is simply the best of brutal death metal." - Metalious
