U.S. pressing of the seminal New York Death Metal band's 2009 album includes two bonus tracks. In the relatively short but intense history of Extreme Metal, Suffocation are unique for fusing the technical with the percussive and single-handedly redefining the genre. They also represent the future of Metal as they continue to redefine brutality and the meaning of extreme with each album they release. Suffocation are the pioneers of New York Brutal Death Metal, and Blood Oath is a testament to their longevity. Blood Oath has the privilege of not only being a distinctively brutal album by the band that has been at the pinnacle of the genre for 20 years, but also of perfectly capturing the simmering anger of these times. The timeliness of this sound and the viability of this band make 2009 Suffocation's time to reign

The legendary SUFFOCATION have come blasting back to the forefront of the genre they helped to create with their new, self-titled full-length. Universally regarded as the best live death metal band in the world, SUFFOCATION captures the intensity of their concert juggernaut and administers a savage, eleven-track beating. As simply stated as the title itself, it's all here; the relentless speed, the surgical precision, the crushing brutality, and the inhuman, genre-defining vocals that have made SUFFOCATION the most influential band in death metal, period. The gods of death metal are back and SUFFOCATION casts their long and storied shadow of influence even farther.

Wildly influential death metal legends SUFFOCATION return with Souls to Deny, their first full length album in nearly a decade. Masterfully controlled yet frightenly intense, Souls to Deny is a truly devastating display of technical death metal. Maniacally complex lead and rhythm guitar acrobatics intermix with dizzyingly proficient drum work, creating complex, savage riff collages. Often copied but never duplicated, SUFFOCATION remains at once intricately technical and immaculately heavy! Crushing brutality from the masters!!
