SUFFOCATION Guitarists Interviewed
September 3, 2009MetalKult.com has posted a video question-and-answer interview with SUFFOCATION guitarists Terrance Hobbs and Guy Marchais.
The footage was filmed when the New York extreme metallers recently dropped by MetalKult's Manhattan headquarters to talk about their latest record, "Blood Oath" (Nuclear Blast).
In the interview, the guys discuss a range of topics, including their place in New York death metal history, the band's mid-Nineties breakup and how Eighties thrash influenced SUFFOCATION's ripping hardcore metal attack on "Blood Oath".

"Blood Oath" sold around 3,600 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 135 on The Billboard 200 chart. The CD landed at position No. 2 on the Top New Artist Albums (Heatseekers) chart, which lists the best-selling albums by new and developing artists, defined as those who have never appeared in the Top 100 of The Billboard 200.
The follow-up to 2006's self-titled record, "Blood Oath" was recorded with Joe Cincotta (who worked on the band's last two releases) and was mixed by Zack Ohren (ALL SHALL PERISH, DECREPIT BIRTH). The cover artwork (see below) was once again brought to life by Jon Zig (DEEDS OF FLESH, DISGORGE, GORGASM).
"Blood Oath" is available in three formats exclusive to the North American territory. In addition to the standard retail version, there is a mail-order edition available exclusively through the Nuclear Blast U.S. webstore, and a digital version through iTunes.
SUFFOCATION filmed a video clip for the track "Cataclysmic Purification" on May 31 with director David Brodsky (ARSIS, GOD FORBID, KATAKLYSM, SWASHBUCKLE).
