Well.. if the intro in dying days can detail how my fears have become phobias, Hester Prynne's pouring reign would illustrate the brighter side of suffering. The beautiful mistake, in strife, beneath the surface... is that Legends... never die... I will solve a captcha for proof.
I used to have a promotional company called Eviscerated Entertainment. I did those shows with them early on. Those days were amazing and will always be in my heart. Suffokate, Gunmetal Grey and Omissa were my favorites back then. I miss these experiences. We are all old now lol
I remember the first song that i listened from Suffokate, was Not The Fallen. The video clip shows you all you can expect from a Deathcore band, earplugs, breakdowns and a awesome mix between the high and low vocals😂
My old band played with Suffokate back in the day, and my parents came to that show. My mom wanted to "fit in" and stole one of my Black My Heart hoodies to wear for the night and Ricky walked by at one point, said "awesome hoodie" and high fived her haha. Miss these days brother
I loved that Oakland album back in the day. I actually just listened to that iconic song the other day. Its still to this day one of my favorite death core songs.
Thank you so much for doing a video on Suffokate! I remember listening to some of their songs, all the way back to when I was 13.. They helped serve as a major gateway to deathcore for me. I'm quite shocked that more people don't talk about them actually, soo underrated!
Blessed to have seen suffokate with despised, ion dissonance and beneath the massacre in my very small hometown on my birthday even, i still cherish this day many many years after
In Jr. High, a friend and I organized a show at a church so our band could open for Suffokate and Suicide Silence. It was 2005 and there was what some might call a huge gang fight outside while Suffokate played. Best show ever.
Fucking fantastic seeing he bulked up and looks like an actual man now holy shit legend. The skies were filled with fire was my shit back in high-school played it 100 times
Watching these videos about late 2000s deathcore bands feels like a nostalgic journey back to my youth. The music, the scene, the memories - they all come rushing back and provide such comfort. It's amazing how these bands shaped our upbringings and left a lasting impact. Grateful for these videos that keep the spirit of that era alive.
I just discovered your channel and I'm already hooked, the Oceano video was amazing to watch and now this one, Suffokate is a band that has been present in my life for a solid 12 years, as much as I love No mercy, No forgiveness, Return to despair it's my number one album from them, and now that I'm 30 and went trough lots of shit, it hits even closer, My darkened eyes, and Let the water rise are by far the songs that I enjoy the most, BUT the whole album, once it starts, I will never skip a single song, and by the time Dissolving hits, all I want is to replay the whole album again haha, and seeing Ricky coming back with the amazing Ov Sulfur, it's like watching your childhood hero make a glamorous return.
I remember seeing these guys in 2011 right before ricky left at The Red House in Walnut Creek. Ricky was nuts, band was nuts. I will never forget that they headlined with a bunch of little local bands. Was a sight to see. Wish i had the tee i bought off ricky. My dumb 18 yr old self lost it...
nice video awesome man nice dude keep up the good work with these good video man very nice and epic and amazing too looking forward to more videos too as soon.
The entire album has gotten me through some of the bleakest points in my life. The writing, the sound, everything. I’m glad you share a similar sentiment.
@@Gammaknife97 Dude remember when that shit came out? at that time they were heavier than 99% of the bands in that era. Even though they only had that one album. That band influenced the sounds we hear today...
I bought plugs from him and his dad and still have them. It was kind of hard to find good jewelry in sizes 1.5+ back then so them doing that was nice. I have since sewn my ears up though. Thank you so much for this video ( and all your videos ) it brings me back to some memories I thought I had forgotten
Yeah man! I miss this band so much! One of my life's biggest mistakes was to not go to their concert in Örebro, Sweden when they visited around 2011-2012. The only pathetic reason I can come up with, to why I didn't go is pretty much that I didn't know anyone else who wanted to go, I had never been to Örebro, and I only had a Chevy El Camino from 72 with all around tires and it was in February or something. Still I regret this as F%CK! Nowadays I'm pretty used to go to concerts and festivals by myself, but back in 2011 I hadn't realized I was a lone-wolf yet. Regarding Ricky leaving the band, it was devastating for me as well, I'm not really into the music without him. I've also worked as a professional piercer for about 15 years and did a lot more extreme body-mods and related stuff like body suspensions so I really felt a connection to Ricky because of that. I never really stretched my ears any big and usually think it was a bit mainstream unless you go like Ricky, Go Big or Go Home! Just like Muffe in Denmark who has 66,6 mm in his ears =) I didn't know he was in "Of Sulphur", but I have seen the name around. I don't recognize him at all, lol Will check them out! PLEASE! Make a video about Molotov Solution & Signal The Firing Squad, that's two other bands I miss a lot! I was fortunate enough to be able to get a hold of one of Molotov Solution's early albums which was only made in 800 ex. I think it was Insurrection. And now when I think about it, it looks just like the style of the Suffokate - Return to Despair album cover!
So I dated a girl that played guitar for Suffokate. I met Jared when he was still in the band. He ended up meeting a girl on MySpace that lived in denve of I remember correctly, and he moved in a whim. I also met Ricky the night after he tried out for the band. We were at a bar in Berkeley and he got a lot of shit from the boys in the band that night. He was straight edge. They were not. Lol. Anyhow, Ricky was a great fit for them. I ran into Jared at a White Chapel show in Sacramento shortly after that and he was in a good place. Everything worked out the way it did for a reason.
Imagine going to a show where the lineup is as follows…..waking the cadaver opening, suffokate, WHITECHAPEL, and suicide silence (with Mitch) that’s my dream lol
Oh man I love this channel! Recognize (CA), Monsters, ABACABB, Molotov Solution, Goliath, Seditionist, Every Hand Betrayed (I’m the original bass player 2009-2012) would be sick!
Monsters was incredible too bro,you’re cool asf I’ve been wanting to make a throwback myspacecore band, janky bedroom production with all the visuals amd the attitude of those days it would be so sick
Love your videos man I played drums in a local Deathcore Band in 08. I wish myspace wasn't deleting ny bands demo iw Gone but I do have a old demo.. ANYWAY PLEASE MAKE A VIDEO ON ROSE FUNERAL...also WITH BLOOD COMES CLEANSING!!
Brooo your enthusiasm and just how you talk about these bands makes me so happy. Being from Norway and constantly flying to germany to go to hardcore/metalcore/deathcore shows takes me back so bad, getting club mate before the show was a ritual
No hate at all, but I was one of the original members of Suffokate. Went to high school with Jared and Taylor. Wrote about half of "oakland." Basically wrote everything together with Taylor and recorded the original Russian Roulette demo at my place. Shout out to Taylor and Lars. By the way, dude named Patrick was our first bassist. cheers.
man you're touching on something really special with this channel. Thank you for loving the scene as much as the rest of us! also Knights of the Abyss would be a great pick.
This has become my new favorite channel. Keep up the good work! Brings me back to the good old days in corona ca at the showcase theatre. Final burden. Emmure. Elysia. Suicide Silence.
I’ve been watching the vids for a while, and I really enjoy them! It’s cool hearing the stories and lore behind how they got to be! A couple of bands I would like to see on here is I Declare War and Whitechapel. Keep up with the good work!!
Maaaan, i’ve been waiting for this one. Stretched my ears relatively big because of Ricky back in the day and still to this day when I play Team Deathmatch on whatever game Slaughter your Enemies starts to play in my head. You keep delivering man !
@@xtheyan I found them on behind the ink so I was late to the party very late by the sounds of it 😅 thankyou for this, I loved Ricky’s ears like how patient are you
I second that we NEED and As Blood Runs Black video my dude! I've recently been on a MySpace era deathcore kick all over again and your videos coincided with that perfectly lol keep it up bruh
great video! " No Mercy, No Forgiveness" is so amazing...I think, maybe 2009-2011 was the greatest time for Deathcore. The best albums were released, the production was good but still raw enough to be exciting...great, nostalgic times
