1991 I was 7, and then 7 years later I start listening death metal band such as Deicide, Obituary, and 1998 I had a cassette of my first Suffocation's album "Pierced from Within", since then I listening their Effigy's and become fans of this the most influenced Death Metal band of all time 🤘🏻 Thanks for this very rare recording 🙏🏻 its like a 'treasure' of Death Metal music!
Fucking crazy that this was going on in 1991. I came across death metal much later on but wish I woulda discovered it sooner but I was sheltered and only knew what I saw on mtv at the time. Wasnt until high school that I discovered underground music and death metal. The first time I heard suffo and bands like cryptopsy and cannibal corpse deicide and the band death I couldn't even wrap my mind around the fact ppl could sing that brutal and play that fast and technical. Of course I always knew metallica and pantera but so glad I found the Buffalo scene and Tampa death metal.
Had this on vhs tape back then, from 1992 forwards and watched it many, many times through - even that the sound and pic quality was what it was. It was still so awesome to see Suffo "live" back then. :)
Frank Mullen is the best death metal vocalist. The Long Island infection sells it perfectly and the rest of the band is phenomenal. The song writing is also great. I love Death Metal and I cant get over hw good suffocation is.
Where the hell? I was 4 when this was filmed, sadly I've only seen Suffocation once, but it was incredible, and I'd kill to get a time machine to see more of their shows.
mikewifak triggers weren't around yet. Most likely it's a combination of whatever kind of wood those shells are and how hard he's playing. Fun Fact: some drummers taped quarters to the bass head where the beater makes contact producing a clicking sound when hit.
Triggers weren’t even common until late 90’s live. When they began to proliferate, I remember looking down upon such weakness. It’s full strength raw or die. This is perfect example of ‘no trigger master race’.
Saw then bunch of times caught an early show around 1993 toured with Dismember out in Long Island NY, Frank doesn’t do his “death metal” voice between songs or interact much with the crowd
Oh, but later on, he definitely "interacted" with the crowd, haha. He would often talk crazy or funny ass banter to them, lol. But, yeah, he's much more chill here, I see. Makes sense to be that way in your early days, though.
