About
Suffocation is an American death metal band formed in 1989 in Centereach, New York, currently consisting of lead guitarist Terrance Hobbs, bassist Derek Boyer, rhythm guitarist Charlie Errigo, vocalist Ricky Myers, and live drummer John Longstreth. The band rose to prominence with their 1991 debut album, Effigy of the Forgotten, a blueprint for death metal in the 1990s. Since then, Suffocation has recorded eight albums. These feature growled vocals with downtuned guitars, fast and complex guitar riffs and drumming, open chord notes and occasional breakdowns.
In 2016, the staff of Loudwire named them the 23rd-best metal band of all time.

Suffocation est un groupe de death metal américain, originaire de Centereach, Long Island, à New York. Formé en 1988, il est l'un des premiers groupes, si ce n'est pas le premier, à jouer du brutal death metal. Le chanteur, Frank Mullen, est aussi reconnu pour être le premier à populariser les vocaux bas et gutturaux qui caractérisent maintenant ce genre musical.
