New York death metal legends Suffocation unleash their ninth full-length album, ‘Hymns from the Apocrypha’, via Nuclear Blast. The follow-up to ‘…Of the Dark Light’ (2017) pushes founder Terrance Hobbs (guitars), Derek Boyer (bass), Charles Errigo (guitars), Eric Morotti (drums), and newcomer Ricky Myers (vocals) to the very edges of extremity. Standout tracks ‘Seraphim Enslavement’, ‘Perpetual Deception’, and ‘Delusions of Mortality’ are emphatically Suffocation but are enhanced with what Hobbs calls ‘progressive melodies’.
