The legends of New York death metal, SUFFOCATIONhave released their ninth full-length album, «Hymns From The Apocrypha“, through Nuclear Blast.
The band offers fans the third song, «Delusions Of Mortality«, which combines progressive melodies and the monstrous voice of Ricky Myers. Check out the 3D lyric video, created by Tamara of Aimed & Framed.
Ricky Myers comments:
«’Delusions of Mortality‘is the third single from our new album’Hymns From The Apocrypha‘. The content of the lyrics refers to these dimensional beings who transmit to us ancient scriptures about our true origin, purpose and the reason why humanity was created. A revealing knowledge that is too much for man to comprehend, but at the same time allows him to remove the veil and see the truth. This existence is nothing more than a deception.
The continuation of «…Of The Dark Light» (2017) and the first release with the new vocalist Ricky Meyers, pushes the band to the limits of the extreme and is possibly the group’s most powerful-sounding and most sonically punishing album to date. Suffocation has achieved death metal perfection.
SUFFOCATION It took a month and a half to record «Hymns From The Apocrypha«. They locked themselves in the studio InLine of hobbs and Boyer on Long Island. The duo did the engineering and co-production with Christian Donaldsonwho was also hired again to mix and master, with the help of Dominic Grimard. With a stunning cover by the Greek illustrator Giannis Nakos of Remedy Art Design«Hymns From The Apocrypha» is characteristic of SUFFOCATION. It is uncompromisingly brutal, artistically brave and aurally heavy. Clearly, SUFFOCATION, in their 35th anniversary, are at the peak of their potential. Death metal or death!
