Suffocation (Band)Suffocation, easily the most plagiarised death metal band, fused the predominant rhythmic styles of death and speed metal with grindcore song constructions to start a new subgenre of music, that of Death-Grind (death metal + grindcore). Suffocation is placed amongst peers Immolation, Incantation, and Morpheus (Descends) as being part of a genetic fragment of death metal known as "New York Death Metal" or "NYDM" in the short. The band is also known for having 2 African American musicians(Drummer Mike Smith and Guitarist Terrance Hobbs) which is rare in the Underground Metal scene. The band released a couple of highly-regarded releases on the once death metal powerhouse label "Roadrunner Records", as well as their last EP "Despise The Sun" on a smaller label . Of note is also their debut EP "Human Waste", which was the first official release on Relapse Records in 1991. =Statistics= =Members= Current - Terrance Hobbs - Guitar
