Main Page | See live article | Alphabetical index Easily the most plagiarized death metal band, Suffocation fused the predominant rhythmic styles of death and speed metal with grindcore song constructions to start a new subgenre of music, that of Death-Grind (death metal + grindcore). Suffocation is placed amongst peers Immolation, Incantation, and Morpheus (Descends) as being part of a genetic fragment of death metal known as "New York Death Metal" or "NYDM" in the short. The band released a couple of highly-regarded releases on the once death metal powerhouse label "Roadrunner Records", as well as their last EP "Despise The Sun" on a smaller label. Of note is also their debut EP "Human Waste", which was the first official release on Relapse Records in 1991. This article is from Wikipedia.
