New York death metal legends Suffocation unleash their ninth full-length album, 'Hymns from the Apocrypha', via Nuclear Blast. The follow-up to '...of the Dark Light' (2017) pushes founder Terrance Hobbs (guitars), Derek Boyer (bass), Charles Errigo (guitars), Eric Morotti (drums), and newcomer Ricky Myers (vocals) to the very edges of extremity. Standout tracks ‘Seraphim Enslavement,‘ ‘Perpetual Deception,‘ and ‘Delusions of Mortality’ are emphatically Suffocation but are enhanced with what Hobbs calls "progressive melodies." The crushing title track, ‘Immortal Execration,’ and the re-recording of ‘Ignorant Deprivation,’ featuring former throat-man Frank Mullen, are brutal alms to death metal's heaving masses.
With stunning cover art by Greek illustrator Giannis Nakos 'Hymns from the Apocrypha' is characteristically Suffocation . That is to say, it's uncompromisingly brutal, artistically gutsy, and aurally heavy. Clearly, Suffocation, as they head into their 35th Anniversary, are at the peak of their potential. Death metal or die!
