Suffocation has returned with their first new album in five years, and first ever with vocalist Ricky Myers, Hymns From The Apocrypha due out November 3. Suffocation is now streaming the first single "Seraphim Enslavement" alongside a music video directed by Tom Flynn. It's fucking brutal.
"This is my fifth full-length studio album with Suffocation and this album came out SICK!" said bassist Derek Boyer. "It features all of the brutal, technical, chaotic twists and turns everyone would expect from Suffocation, plus new elements that are out of the normal realm one might expect.
"This is the sophomore effort of working with Christian Donaldson (who mixed and mastered Live In North America) and he absolutely KILLED IT on this one!!! We can’t wait to bring these songs to the stage and crush everything in our path!”
"We are thrilled to unveil our 11th full-length album, Hymns From The Apocrypha, a creatively composed piece that blends our style of music with lyrical depth and intricate artwork," added Myers. "This album is a testament to our devotion to brutal music, which we display in the video of our single, 'Seraphim Enslavement', a visual journey that complements the album's concept."
Pre-orders for Hymns From The Apocrypha are available here. Suffocation has also announced an equally crushing European tour with Sanguisugabogg, Enterprise Earth, and Organectomy. Those dates follow Suffocation's North American tour with Incantation, Skeletal Remains, and Stabbing.
