The new drummer is Dave Culross and is not ''new at all'' because he records the drums on the amazing 1998 EP of Suffocation ''Despised the sun'' and this guy is famous for play on various albums of Malevolent Creation.
Thanks for the new footage with Dave. I will miss Mike but I'm glad the band is staying together. Dave is a awesome drummer and a perfect fit. Can't wait to purchase the new CD! Hail to my all time favorite band hand down. Since 91....
I can't believe some people are not giving Dave a chance, Go listen to the Despise the Sun EP and tell me its not bad ass!? Any way new Suffo album should kick ass!
People are just biased fanboys lmao, Kevin Talley/Mike Smith/Dave Culross are all amazing drummers that can play the other's work with little flaw haha. People just say that Mike Smith is Suffocation's best drummer because he is the first, when in reality Dave Culross not only was godlike on the Despise the Sun EP, but he also is a monster in Malevolent Creation. Culross can do anything Smith can to be honest.
+Victor Gomez Yeah, but knowing how to do one's job is one thing - innovating and introducing something new to the world is another, which Mike Smith did. But any drummer that can do what these drummers are doing is a phenomenal drummer in my book!
This is peace of cake for Culross he did Suffocation when he was only like 17 before he joined Malevolent and MC material is harder than Suffocation so no surprise.
I think Culross is awesome, but idk Mike smith is just such a smooth drummer, like butter, culross is more like salisbury steak...both great but different feels
