remarkable start of slam death metal, unfortunately now the scene deathcore a lot of confusion these two totally different genres, deathcore = emo, slam = brutality.
remarkable start of slam death metal, unfortunately now the scene deathcore a lot of confusion these two totally different genres, deathcore = emo, slam = brutality.
I wish they had a video of when SUFFOCATION played the thirsty whale in Chicago!!! Now that was THEE FUCKING BRUTAL SHOW! Frank still talks about it today!
When was this, was that really Frank Mullen with the long hair? Anyway Hobbs guitar solo was perfect and also it's cool to see he had short hair but he still have his 70s glasses. Anyway very brutal performance!
Suffocation will buttfuck you and marduk at the same time, imagine that, wow! But maybe suffocation don't even care about buttfucked facism-wankers :(
Suffocation is extremely awesome, I love Brutal Death Metal, I saw them live at Metalfest and they owned. From 1990s-now, they're still sick, All I want to say is, keep it "Brutal"
Thanks man that was fuckin awesome. Brought me right back to their show at Sparks in Deer Park, Feb '92, with the dude making the announcement then jumping off the stage and everything. They played with Immolation and Morpheus Descends that night.
I don't remember too much from that night, Morpheus Descends was awsome, Immolation was okay, but Suffocation totally, totally killed. They were tighter than Hillary's vage. I went right out and bought "Effigy of the Forgotten" the next day.
Yeah they were a great band. A couple of years later, they actually played a show with my old band at the Emerson in Indianapolis. Of course, they totally owned our asses. But it was cool as hell
I wouldn't say he owns Chris when he sang at Moscow. Chris mixes it up a bit with some pretty sick primal screams back in the day.. Mullen has slightly better gutterals though. Barnes vocals have just gone to shit these days though, what the hell happened!?
I've heard that all the screaming and growling did his larynx in because he continually used the wrong techniques to make it sound like he wanted it to.
my god, of all the vocals in death metal I have heard, nothing compares to classic Frank Mullen; he is, witout a doubt, the most brutal death metal vocalist of all time, and Suffocation is one one of the best death metal bands to ever have existed.
Hahaha...its hard to belive that Frank Mullen actally was a long-haired skinny teen ager :D this is fucking Brutal,I watched Suffocation in 2007,and they are still hanging people up their balls...crazy...
Hah,yeah he looks alot better,like everyone with long hair.Man i dont know why i love this band so much,i usually dont get into alot of stuff with little technicality(i usually like stuff like nile),but i do.Where did you get these videos anyways?are they on a live cd or bootleg?
Frank looks cooler with his hair than his bald look today but he still kicks ass today. His growls are unbeatable and while there are other death metal bands I enjoy, Suffocation schools them all in every aspect. This song is my favorite from them. Just love that churning interlude riff and Frank's low growls! I conjure up the image of a lurking beast that is about to pounce from behind and bite off my head. You don't need Cryptopsy or Dying Fetus. All you need is Suffocation!
fucking hell rhis is some prime footage, mullen still has long hair, stellar performance, sounds as if its str8 off the LP, obviously with the added live intensity
Technique and difficulty-wise, neither vocal style is harder than the other. They're equally as hard and require equal amounts of dedication and practice to master. Realistically, however, Death metal vocals are far harder to learn correctly. It's pretty damn easy to find some trained singer to teach you to sing correctly, but how many flyers have you seen advertising lessons in death metal vocals? Technique can't be the only consideration in deeming one or the other more difficult.
mike smith has the loudest blast beats on the planet, usually the snare is really quiet live and in the studio, but he is beating the shit out of his drums
God,these vocals are not that fucking hard to do.Its probobly 20x easier than regular singing(at least it is for me,i dunno about you guys).But yeah,these guys are pretty good.
death metal vocals are far harder than singing. singing well is not hard, doing death metal vocals that don't sound fucking stupid is quite challenging.
I like this band but I have to disagree with you squirrelly, death metal vocals are easy to do, thats why every angst teenager can do it. As for being good, it just comes with practice and a good role model voice. However, not everyone can pull it off well.
As for singing, its not easy, it takes a lot of skill to be a true "singer" of any sort. Harder then any other instrument in my opinion (and I being a good instrumentalist and a HORRID singer :) )
i'm not aware of many teen angst vocalists who are respected in the metal community, probably because they're terrible...and while singing in certain manners may be difficult, opera or something like that, i honestly consider singing to be a pretty easy thing to do.
i disagree. i am a singer, and i find death metal growls pretty hard to do, or at least sustain for a long time. and as far as the "teen angst" vocalists go, that's pretty funny because 99% of all "teen angst" vocalists can't sing OR do death growls, meaning that they suck either way.
It's kind of unfair to compare Death Metal vocals to regular singing. It's a completly different art even though it's both using the vocals, both with their easier and harder parts.
i just saw those bastards live,and i am telling you they are the BEST live band ever,communicate with the crowd and stuff,not bothered by stage divers.they love Death metal.they love their job
the fuck with those breakdowns!if you don't go banging your head with those, you're numb! suffocation is truly the fathers of modern brutal death metal! they fucking own!
im with ya there, i realize that hendrix was kind of a pioneer and one of the first metal guitarists if you wanna call it that, but his playing style was just ugly. he could solo great but eh.. he never was my favorite
dude, terrance hobbs and jimi hendrix play a totally different style of music. how can you put down the legendary hendrix like that? both guitarists are/were excellent at what they do.
The thing that makes this so great is that you can tell this was before these guys had any money to put into their production and they were still just as good....
