Suffocation - Effigy Of The Forgotten - LP

With their debut album, "Effigy of the Forgotten", SUFFOCATION rose to prominence of death metal and created a blueprint for the genre for the 1990s, retaining their style after the reunion in 2003. Decibel Magazine stated: ""Effigy of the Forgotten" was a benchmark for extreme music, as it sacrificed neither virtuosity or brutality, becoming a signpost for thousands who were still contemplating how to incorporate scalar runs, rapid-fire palm-muting and hummingbird-wing-quick picking into riffs, while opening up rhythmic dimensions and the scope of the blast beat."
Blabbermouth.net described SUFFOCATION as "American death metal's most consistent and punishing standard-bearers" and their style as "brutal death metal".
According to AllMusic, Mullen is one of the best vocalists in death metal.
Decibel Magazine stated: "One of SUFFOCATION’s trademarks, breakdowns, has spawned an entire metal subgenre: death core."
