Suffocation continues to tour the world, destroying everything in its wake! In the last few months Long Island’s heaviest death metallers have played in Russia and Holland, as well as the Eastern United States. Shows in Indonesia, Singapore, and France are on the schedule. Tonight’s show at Dingbatz in Clifton, New Jersey is close to home for Suffo, so the crowd was wild! For those who have never been to a Suffocation show, here’s what to expect: the best guttural death metal vocals ever, blast beats, sudden starts and breakdowns, tight musicianship, and brutality like you’ve never heard in your *&^%ing life!
23 years into their career, New York’s Suffocation is still blasting out brutal death metal and destroying everything in its wake! Formed in 1989, Suffocation (Suffo for short) is known primarily for 3 things: powerful, inhuman guttural vocals delivered by Frank Mullen, insane blast beats and breakdowns, and being one of the very best live metal bands EVER. My first exposure Suffocation was in 1992 when a friend of mine bought a used copy of HUMAN WASTE from Repo Records in Ardmore, a store from which I amassed a considerable death metal collection. It was the heaviest piece of music I had ever heard at the time! Then, in June 1993 I saw Suffocation at the Cell Block in Bensalem with Vader and Dismember. I was completely blown away and to this day 19 years later it remains one of the best concerts I have ever seen! The albums do not do Frank and co. justice – a live Suffocation show is like taking one of their albums and multiplying it by 10!
70000TONS OF METAL, The World’s Biggest Floating Heavy Metal Festival is still anchored in the Hudson River. After last week’s announcement overkill they better make one now so no one dies of SUFFOCATION! 22 out of 40 and counting… For how much longer are they going to stay anchored outside the Big Apple? You shall know soon…
Make no mistake, 70000TONS OF METAL is not your grandma’s cruise. It’s also not one of the cruises that share the ship with normal cruise guests. This is an all heavy metal cruise! Can you imagine that? A whole luxury cruise ship full of metalheads? And since there is no backstage area you will have the opportunity to mingle side-by-side with the artists in this incredibly fan-friendly scenario that has no comparison. It’s like everyone has a backstage pass!
So far 22 out of a total of 40 bands on board are known:
AMORPHIS
CANNIBAL CORPSE
CORONER
DARK FUNERAL
ELUVEITIE
GOD DETHRONED
GRAVE DIGGER
HAMMERFALL
