Following a somewhat formative but still pretty respectable EPin 1991’s Human Waste, Long Island, NY’s Suffocation really brokethrough to the underground metal masses with their firstfull-length assault, Effigy of the Forgotten, in 1991. Delivering atruly devastating display of technical death metal bordering ongrindcore, this incredibly influential release opened the doors foran entire generation of extreme metal miscreants who wouldsubsequently make their uncompromising sounds the prevalenttemplate for East Coast metal in the ’90s. Matching outrageouslyguttural vocals with a bottom-heavy guitar foundation, spewed forthat blistering speed and unparalleled brutality, Effigy’soverwhelming, claustrophobic, and, well suffocating rush, belied asurprisingly developed and, dare we say, “sophisticated” sense ofsongwriting. Crushing examples like the title track, “Infecting theCrypts” and the masterful “Seeds of the Suffering” probablyfrightened many unprepared listeners with their unapologeticonslaughts, but Suffocation’s quick rise to prominence proved thateven more were willing to endure the initial shock in order toappreciate the band’s maniacally complex time changes and the leadand rhythm guitar acrobatics (notably in the brilliantly titled“Reincremation”). Not for the weak of will even today, Effigy ofthe Forgotten, is a death metal tour de force.
