Suffocation - Effigy Of The Forgotten

[rickanacatarsis]

great!!!



[C2CONTINUE]

I had this whole show on video in 1992. Some years after it was stolen from me. Fucker!

[cacaJols]

frank mullen's voice is totally amazing in this video

[alexreformer]

raoseun kawihna..

[p8ntdogg66]

I never get fucking tired of this song, or Frank Mullen's voice !!!!

[tomakiakls]

who is the bass player in this video?

[mamobass]

@tomakiakls Chris Richards.

[Lonnieable]

how old is this ????????

[AzNpowangeFTW]

Fuck, the singer has hair!

[Mandalore863]

question, if Chris Barnes was the first one to do the death growls, and Effigy of the Forgotten was released in 1991, then how did Suffocation pick up on it?

[Adriankat]

@Mandalore863 Chris Barnes wasn't the first one to do death growls. It's just some stupid "fact" that poseurs came up with so they have something to talk about. Kam Lee, Jeff Bercerra, and Paul Speckmann were growling before Chris Barnes was.

[Mandalore863]

@Adriankat ah I see, whoops. . . . shit *hops away like Mario*

[dasidiotos]

holy moly...he pukes inte the mic. compared to his "speaking-voice". nowadays it seems to me that he talks completly different.

[ZeroMurasame]

Is that Chris Richards on Bass?

[7sabot]

@ZeroMurasame

yep

[ZeroMurasame]

@7sabot Fuck yea!

[logammautcommand]

frank in long hair...

[Goatsemen]

A billion times better than today. they should have died out in the 90s

[deathbearer]

@Goatsemen So true.

[bumzurvaj]

@Goatsemen This, along with 99.9% of the scene at the time. 

[Nickemericalover123]

@Goatsemen what? suffocation's new shit is just as fucking awesome and brutal in my opinion

[Epicidity]

I don't think Hobbs could look any more stereotypical 90s black guy haha

[DeadlyFredXXX]

'Ey yo... dis song... its called a, Effigy ofh da Fughotten. Awesome, haha

[XxDavidxXPantera]

That sounds like Carl from ATHF xDDD

[satanblessmegadeth]

It seems like a lot of death metal superstars have high pitched speaking voices. Glen Benton sounded like a little girl in his "interview" with Bob Larson.

[ImmortalDarkTordo]

wooooooooow fantastic old stuff

but is Mullen the guy on vocals?? strange to see him with all those hairs :)

[brotherhood302]

Mike Smith and Terrence Hobbs....Black Power!!!

[bbguy17]

@brotherhood302 hell yeah black metal player is all what it's about like me lol

[TheBigBenz99]

15 december 1994 ^^ i was 1 year old then XD

[sacha9646]

MULLEN LITTERALLY OBLITARATED THE SONG. HIS VOICE IS FAR GREATER THAN SHAO KHAN'S IN MK.

Terrence and the others killed too from 3.08 to the end it is just insane.

[fileloader]

holy shit this song never stops to impress me !!!!!!

[jaki54321]

The basest is kick ASS!!!!

[rockprogmetal]

i love how frank in this looks like he was a little guy but once the song kicks in, he belts out his really gutteral vox

[fileloader]

hehe yeah xD

[Naildownrock]

holy shit mullen kicks ass!

[xdxdxdlloll]

3:33 is so fucking extreme

[darkmaster07]

my god frank is fucking amazing

[AgentHomer]

damnit the bass guitarist is fucking badass!

[ianradley15]

3:32......

[etnecivv]

That is fucken sick! Thank you for Posting it!

[Haakeisgod]

Franks Vocals haven't gotten any less powerful over the years. this was prolly filmed before i was born. sick song by the masters of brutallity.

[ianradley15]

i saw them live twice in houston and they delivered on every level. franks vocals are sick as fuck he doesnt even give a fuck about mic checks cuz the crowd would still hear him without one and he talks to the crowd between songs hes really funny. best metal band

[SlaytanicYisrael]

wow this is funny. 1. frank with hair is AWESOME 2. frank stage show is like. yep this is my band and here is my growls. 3. terrance speaks for himself

FUCKING SUFFOCATION!!!!!!!!!!!

[Gelufinteraf]

that is the most solid down picking ever hahah

[Spirituality1980]

Frank Mullen sings like a beast at this gig! \m/

[nightshadetheexorcis]

damn this is old. what year is it?

[Vollrauschmetzger]

its 1991

[sea23lion]

It's bit funny cuz Frank was bit shy and skinny at this time than nowadays.

but voice is brutal!

[miketripp9]

I love old live recordings of death metal bands. They sound so much fucking cooler. Yeah the quality overall sucks, but the sound of the music sounds awesome when its recorded on old technology.

[ZROKMIKZI]

LOL Frank had hair?!

[xdxdxdlloll]

Yeah the vocal metamorphosis is insane! (2)

[dmguitarist99]

A video of Terrence without dreads!

never seen that before haha

[ericjablon]

mike smith ownsss i saw suffo last week and met the whole band so fucking heavy, gotta love it

[molor7]

I love Frank Mullen's voice in this video - he's got this wimpy-sounding New Joisey accent and he's wearing a sweater and some ratty jeans or something, and then he starts singing and it sounds like a totally different person.

[Ichee12]

Frank Mullen sounds like a omnipotent being

[chipaputalaguea]

@molor7 yeah he looks like a grundge metal guy LOL

[Thanato15]

@molor7 kind of like Chuck Schuldiner

[ExposedGuts]

I have that whole show on an old VHS tape somewhere... :-)

[LolEpicFailGuy]

Is this the heaviest band on the planet?

[buscakientepise]

yeah man this is

[cradle2130]

helll yeahhh

[LolEpicFailGuy]

I fuckin love it!

[Ichee12]

Fuck yeah

[snapcraklpop259]

meh their drummer could be better

[LolEpicFailGuy]

Yeah but you have to consider that their drummer helped pioneer Death Metal drumming, so you gotta give some credit. And I think Mike Smith kicks major ass.

[pederastija]

Yoo man are good eii... You listen to max few minutes of obviously good sound recordings (on some broken vhs cam) and can tell whos good or bad?

wauu I envy you!! Get their record and i bet you will not find one drummer in your mind that you can put aside this dude and say: "He is as good as him!" I am sure you can't. Hell Yeah! This style was practicaly invented by him.. SmithBlast it is called.. So what is snapcraklpop blast like??

[snapcraklpop259]

i have heard more than just this vid and i just dont like the way his drumming sounds...

[Goreslinger]

lol

[ras124]

i saw suffocation open for sacred reich at new york university way back when

[norhamdan1985]

Man...Imagining being like 13 years old, going to see your older brothers friends 'punk' band at the local dive...and you are in the front row, then these guys jump on and play this? I think i'd shit myself, be confused, then become a life long fan all within 10 seconds...

I can't imagine seeing this live back then. Fucking groundbreaking. The best death metal band, and if not on record, definitely the best death metal band live. They always sound so clean and on point.

[filthytruth]

Wow you must be my age then..(35), I saw them once back then and they were bad ass. Long live Death Metal!!

[tattoosgordo]

real fucking death metal gods!!!!!!!!!!!! fuck cannibal corpse posers!!!!!

[plasticpope]

stfu, how the fuck are cannibal corpse posers??? honestly, i just got suspended from skool for having cannibal corpse, and i dnt fuckin concider myself a fucking poser so stfu and horns up

[arghydoodles]

I prefer when a band takes about 2-3 years to realease an album because then they reign longer becuse they still have song like uninvented if you get what I mean...

[hookerparty]

This is fucking amazing!

[the686man]

it's kind of funny, when he's talking normally, it sounds like he's lars ulrich

[Depths0fDepravity]

He's from New York..

[xdxdxdlloll]

fucking brutal

[arghydoodles]

this song is about the bible being aloud of bollocks isn't it...

[M3talH3ad3030150]

XD @ Frank's New York accent

[Depths0fDepravity]

Then he goes to completely brutal, haha

[HammarHeart]

dec 15 1991! fucking YES

[Depths0fDepravity]

Why is Frank so fucking brutal?

[JonScanlon]

The greatest guitars ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[PoKemonIstGOT]

elite American death metal

[adrian5118]

with out a doubt.

[arghydoodles]

as 1337 as 1337 can be

[DisembowelMe]

I just realized I can growl in a similar style as Frank. (that's his name, right?) Not as powerful (yet), but still.

[liquidoxygen0]

DisembowelMe: Yep, that's his name alright. And don't worry if your growl doesn't sound perfect yet - it takes one hell of a lot of practice.

[deathgrind291]

the thing i love about suffo

is that they dont really age

franks still the same

hobbs is still the same

smith sounds better nowadays tho

[vladose]

one of the best suffocation songs ...

[blessedcoven]

frank`s voice here doesnt differ on their early albums. that`s incredible!!

[sifarn]

Frank Mullen has a great voice!

[surgeonhobo]

Hehe, Mullen sounds almost like Adam Sandler here. Amusing how his voice transforms from a wimpy NY accent to the deepest, most monstrous and impossibly guttural roar ever!

[LolEpicFailGuy]

Yeah the vocal metamorphosis is insane!

[HallwaysOfAlways]

always great to hear one of these guys with crushing vocals speak in their everyday voice... chuck schuldiner as well.

[amtownsyou]

badass

[lepricon989]

Fucking suffocation goddamn!

[Depths0fDepravity]

this song fucking slays live.

[deathbearer]

The sound fucking slays!!!!

[liquidoxygen0]

Absolutely. You can't get much better than Suffocation!

[Landhow]

This band > You

[Kugelmachine]

Yeah, the sound sucks. but it's still better than 95% of all black metal records, and this is LIVE!

ah and before i forget, dimmu suck :D

[Fuck3Com]

crapy music, dimmu borgir rules :D

[necrophi1e21]

Hey asshole, black metal is full of faggotry

[Fuck3Com]

im not the asshole her, i about you lisning to crap...

[necrophi1e21]

Before you defend yourself

learn to type!

[Fuck3Com]

Shut the fuck up, lisen to the music once more; think its good? no, it sounds like crap.

[Areskelian]

And NO SHIT it sounds like crap! This is LIVE, HELLOOOO? Ever been to a concert? You can't expect it to sound the same as it would in a studio or on a CD.

[CrushedAria]

Real black metal is fantastic.

[ramone1234j]

i like diimu borgir too but thats not friendly

[Areskelian]

Dimmu Borgir= Poser shit metal for the dumbass scene kids. Go learn what real music is.

[abnormal14]

i wouldn't agree. i like dimmu alright, and i'm a metalhead to the core.

[viktoorz]

You're not.

[abnormal14]

oh really? so, liking a band you don't automatically makes me a poseur? wow, i wish there was a more descriptive term for "narrow-minded asswipe". sadly, that'll have to suffice.

[viktoorz]

Did i hurt your feelings?

[Depths0fDepravity]

you're a failure.

[necrophi1e21]

One of the greatest bands I have ever listened

to. They gave me a lot of inspiration and his old vocals were great.

[Bones98]

Frank Mullen had the sickest growls. And I love how Terrance used to dress back in the old days, reminds me of my dad back in the 80's.

[Crispy27]

Jesus man, it's hard to imagine Frank with hair

[JosethMusic]

Reppin' Lawn Guyland to the fullest! LOL

[chodkoel]

:19, "Offadeyalbum" is one word. LOL. And then that guy in the crowd cracks up laughing! Oh man, this is so good!

God, I love SUFFOCATION.

[theradpotato]

if only i had been 20 years old in 1991 instead of 4 :/

ughhhh the vocals are so sick!! what a ridiculous tone!!! and i know it's been said a lot of times, but i just can't believe they come out of that skinny guy with the weirdest accent ever... hilarious.

what a great album.

[voivod206]

hes a new yorker

[Crispy27]

You mean a new yawker ;)

[chodkoel]

That accent is hilarious - and I live on Long Island!

One of their greatest songs. This footage is priceless!

[fileloader]

wow ..dude...yeah true its priceless back in the day*

[bigg0622]

haha yeha man I'm from Long Island too and I can't get over that accent lol.. but the music and video is priceless!! Suffocation is the shit!

[atkm2891]

lol, frank has a heavy new york accent

[lepricon989]

Thankful much for this old videos, they are fucking hideously brutal!

[Hellbound616]

Damn, Frank's early vocals are my fucking favourite. I'm vocalist myself nad I really know that this guy fucking kills!

[Incisionator]

Indeed. Watch the 'abomination reborn' video. He's not skinny anymore, but he's killed his voice.

[thinkpad20]

His voice is the same, he just records with a different technique to record now (far from the mic as opposed to cupping the mic as he did on the early albums). If you listen to their live album (Close of as Chapter) he sounds as brutal as always, because he's cupping the mic.

[parkerw88]

Frank had long hair?

[VenomSteel]

no shit? he went bald, and terrance is going bald now aswell.

[Incisionator]

seems like it.

[psychedelicshaman]

Name me an old-school death metal band whose members didn't sport long hair :D

[keepinitwolf]

I know what you mean. This was just the first time I've seen an older video of Suffocation.

[IGuitarV2]

There is none!

[parkerw88]

Frank had long hair?

[castingtherunes]

THey all know they're going to die someday, and they're cool with that, which makes them cool. Death rules!

[kendoka666]

damn fucking awesome nice and raw god damn loved it

[wolfman4u2nv]

heavy

[Schloo]

Pre triggers! Go Mike!

[pooper664]

yes my fac6+++o+366+3vorite suffocation song

[kudurrumaqlu]

damn is this really suffo when they were young? w/e seeing this fuckers tonite \m/

[darthinfurnus]

Avenged Sevenfold? You mean Metallica jr.

Although Avenged Sevenfold had good musicians,

you have to understand that they're music is a diluted, watered down version of what bands like Suffocation are doing. Suffocation are the real deal, my friend!!!

[GrinderManiaco]

para dmorleer carneeeeee

[GrinderManiaco]

csmmmmmmmm¡¡¡

[maidenslayer]

Renji48 - I hope you are joking because this is real music and is metal unlike that shitty emo band you mention. Suffocation rules, Metal rules, Death Metal rules!!!!

[Renji48]

I was joking. I love these guys. I only did it for two reasons one someone on here who's favorite band was them, and he was baggin on one of my favorite bands, and second I was dared to insult a band i liked

and for an emo band Avenged Sevenfold is pretty good

[liquidoxygen0]

What a petty excuse, Renji48. Nobody would dare insult any musical group without a solid reason to first. The fact that you've said this indicates that you aren't a true fan of their music.

Come on, how old are you? If someone dared you to hijack a car would you?

[ragdollus]

the high level of faggotry emanating from your post is unbearable.

[Renji48]

okay now i have ta say..that was the gayest and nerdiest thing i ever freakin read

[Idris1102]

you don't know about this music homo...go fuck yourself!!!

[Renji48]

I wasn't serious, I was just mad.

[darkmaster07]

wow, are you trying to look like a fag or are you really that stupid?

[Renji48]

fuck off youre not part of this

[vivalaranter]

He has the funniest speaking voice.

And the best growl. In 1991 and now. In between wasn't as good. But this album, and the last, he has the best growls.

[RealBenet]

Mullen is the best DM vocal there is. You seen em live, u understand

[D9ieta]

i don't know, I saw Suffocation live and I Bolt Thrower live, they both kick ass. But Mike Smith 's Drums kick fucking blows your brain out! yeah!!!

[SynysterSevenfold]

umm what i dont get is y people leave comments about other bands on a Suffocation video? Anyway Suffocation Fucking rules!

[headbangermx]

hailos to the mighty suffocation true death metal tha kill and destroy all gays that listen bullet metallica,trivium and the viking metal shit .death is metal ,metal is death, death metal rules

[funeraldoom80]

They were so young :). This is history right here!

[abbywhip5]

[ultramarine12]

hahahah those bands SUCK compared to this. i bet you wear tight pants and watch gay banngers ball too

[Krawnikal]

then fuck off faggot

[Vahan20]

O M G !! BULLET is a metal? NO ITS A NEO METAl, again for News albums of Metallica.... Suffocation is a true metal NOT NEOO METAL ( Neo metal = The Pop star )

VIVA DEATH METAL BLACK METAL CLASSIC METAL POWER METAL VIKING METAL SPEED METAL TRASH METAL !!!!!!

[infectingthecrypts]

then youre gay

[delarge84]

abbywhip5:

heavy metal is not a genre... you meant hair metal and gayass rock that you're listening too.

Thrash, death, power, NWOBHM and speed are genres for heavy metal.

[beheadyourself]

what an ignorant statement. if heavy metal is not a MUSICAL GENRE then what is it?

death, black, power and so forth are genres WITHIN the heavy metal genre. in other words: SUBGENRES.

[666slayer]

haha listen to that NY accent. but suffocation rules!

[Deadmetaled]

recording is some shit..

suffocation rocks!

[evo2024]

classic suffocation, frank mullen rules

[dioisfreakinamazing6]

Really low quality video but this band rocks and cannibal corpse rocks JUST AS HARD.

[1kendit]

suffocation sure changed a lot

[Stephane1974666]

BRUTAL

^^

[silianRAIL187]

yeahh suffocation in his best time....

effigy of the forgotten brröööääääaaahhhh
