Suffocation is an American brutal technical death metal band originating from Centereach, New York. The band formed in 1988 and approached this genre in their own style, revolving around heavy, uniquely rhythmic riffs and even deeper growling vocals and breakdowns to create a sub-genre of the form often termed "brutal" death metal - also known by many as "New York Death Metal," or "NYDM" for short. Other New York death metal bands that soon after followed in the footsteps of Suffocation's style include Immolation, Incantation, Deathrune, Morpheus Descends, Infester and many others. In late 2018, band founder Frank Mullen quit the band. Ricky Myers, of Disgorge, is the current live vocalist.
