SUFFOCATION Release Track Video For "Infecting The Crypts"; Live In North America Album Out Now

New York death metal pioneers SUFFOCATION have released their new live album “Live In North America,” today, via Nuclear Blast Records. In celebration, the band has released the track video for the single, “Infecting The Crypts”, which can be seen below.

Terrance Hobbs comments, “‘Infecting The Crypts’ happens to be one of the earliest Suffocation songs. It stood the test of time for us and our fans, it just seems fitting to highlight this song off this album as it has become a classic Death Metal favorite. We hope our fans enjoy the Live in North America release as we think this represents Suffocation’s strengths as a live performing band as well as the energy the fans give to us and we give back to them in return.”

SUFFOCATION created the template for the brutal death metal genre in the early 1990s. Landmark albums such as “Effigy Of The Forgotten” and “Pierced From Within” also went on to inspire the birth of the tech-death and slam death metal genres. With the departure of original vocalist Frank Mullen, the band marks an end of an era with a live album recorded live during his last North American tour. Mixed and mastered by Christian Donaldson (BEYOND CREATION, CRYPTOPSY), this release plays like a “best of” and is the perfect farewell to one of the most influential singers in extreme music. The artwork for the album was created by Jon Zig.

Terrance Hobbs comments, “We couldn’t be more excited to bring our fans our new live CD “Live In North America,” featuring Frank Mullen‘s last performances with SUFFOCATION. We couldn’t think of a better way to wish Frank a fantastic farewell into retirement for all his contributions to this band as a great frontman, influence, and friend – and to also share this farewell with the fans, new and old, who have been there for us over the decades. We hope the fans will hold Frank’s last recorded live tour with us close to your hearts as we do. As another chapter from SUFFOCATION closes, we are more than ready and anxious to bring you more new music and classic death metal in the upcoming months and years. So keep your eyes and ears open, stay heavy and play it loud…. see you all on the road!”
