NEWS: Suffocation unveil new album and huge tour!

They may have cancelled their European tour plans at the last minute earlier this summer but New York Death Metal pioneers Suffocation will be back in February with a brand new album. Their ninth in all, this one is titled “Hymns from the Apocrypha” and was co-produced by Christian Donaldson (Shadow Of Intent, Ingested). Adorned by cover art by Greek illustrator Giannis Nakos (Vomitory, The Crown) it is also their first with new vocalist Ricky Myers, a man who has been at the helm for the past four years in a live capacity as they head into their thirty fifth anniversary feet first. “Seraphim Enslavement” is the first single with 3rd November via Nuclear Blast the date.

Derek Boyer comments, “This is my fifth full-length studio album with SUFFOCATION and this album came out SICK! It features all of the brutal, technical, chaotic twists and turns everyone would expect from SUFFOCATION, plus new elements that are out of the normal realm one might expect. This is the sophomore effort of working with Christian Donaldson (who mixed and mastered Live In North America) and he absolutely KILLED IT on this one!!! We can’t wait to bring these songs to the stage and crush everything in our path!”

Ricky Myers states, “We are thrilled to unveil our 11th full-length album, Hymns From The Apocrypha, a creatively composed piece that blends our style of music with lyrical depth and intricate artwork. This album is a testament to our devotion to brutal music, which we display in the video of our single, ‘Seraphim Enslavement’, a visual journey that complements the album’s concept.”
