This band was a fucking wrecking machine when they were young. The black dude from the cannibal corpse documentary wasn't lying when he said suffocation wrecked every band on that line up.
@@deathdrummer7025 Kevin Talley for me, closely followed by Mike and Doug. Too bad Kevin never made an album with them. Dave Culross is tight as fuck, but he's not as creative as Mike Smith and Doug Bohn (Doug really did a tremendous work on Pierced, some of the most unpredictable drumming I've heard), same goes for Eric.
Hands down, I very near cried seeing Mike Smith where he belongs, Hobbs undreaded like antenna man and Frank with fucking hair. Effigy is one fucking epic album.
I was 18 years old and served finnish army in those days. Fuck I was so possessed into this band and still nowadays I love these glorious early days tunes.
15 years old at the time didn't ever realize how close we all were in age they were all only 5-7 years older. They were and sill are one of the most brutal live acts. Frank and the guys were still practically kids on this one never noticed back in the day how scrawny Frank the tank was in the beginning.
@@jimit.4220 I don't know dude. Don't get me wrong, I love suffocation, and all the lineups through the years, killer live band on top of great music. I saw them at bb kings in Manhattan, I saw them at crazy donkeys at their home base in Long Island, plus few more times in the NY/NJ era. But having said that, they did loose something once Cerrito left. For me pierced from within is THE greatest death metal album ever recoded so maybe I just hold everything after it to too much of a standard.
@@hellbach6268 eh agree to disagree I guess. I do suggest you give the self titled another chance tho, I used to think it was just ok, but after a few listens I grew to absolutely adore the album, especially the production, it's so chunky and powerful.
They are definitely top 5 when it comes to brutal traditional death metal. My personal list 1.Atheist 2. death 3. Morbid Angel 4. Cannibal corpse 5. suffocation
Ryan Lano This was my first metal fest. It was in a place called The Mecca Arena. The years following it were in the rave, but the years before this one we’re also at the rave. I only lasted two songs in the pit because it was a circle pit and was fucking exhausting! I was in pretty good shape at the time too!
The braids didn't start really coming in till the mid-later 90s. He usually wore a baseball cap backwards so it might have been hard to tell back then.
Frank Mullen was so ahead of his time. Even today there are very few vocalists that can get even remotely close to as low as him. Insane band, even though the lineup is wildly different I’ll need to see them eventually.
Incredible lineup. Absolute all stars around the board. Doug Cerrito and Frank Mullen are total influences of mine however we all know Suffo wouldn’t be shit without HOBBS.
Imagine going to their show, and not knowing what to expect. Must've been mind blowing. These guys literally sound as if they had a time machine to the future. I also bet they were every sound engineers nightmare back when this kind of music was unheard of haha
This was also before drum triggers became mandatory for death metal as well--Mike is beating that snare like it owes him money, if you look closely. Drums that sounded like, you know, DRUMS back then was the norm.
I saw suffo and there was no gay karate, just brutal chaotic bone breaking fukn old school slam moshing. No way any of those core pussies could handle it, they don’t like actually getting hit they just like hitting air and occasionally sucker punching someone who isn’t in the pit. Total pussies they dodge anyone who’s actually getting rowdy and rough in there, I would know lol

Yeah definitely. Suffocation, Immolation and Incantation were at the top of their game back then.
Which documentary

Seeing Frank with long hair for the first time is like seeing skinny Big Pun for the first time
Haha good one
😂 deadass
do the rockaway, now lean back, lean back🤘🏽
I didn’t realize it was Frank lol
I was a sperm and egg during this show 😂
Mike Smith is an insane drummer. Wish there were more shots of him in the video
I think so. My opinion is that M. Smith is the best drummer of "Suffocation!" I'm sorry that I couldn't watch him at their live in Japan, 2019!
@@deathdrummer7025 No doubt about it, mike smith is an incredible drummer and was perfect for suffocation.
@@galileogalilei6936 Mike is awesome. However Eric Morotti takes them to a whole other level i believe.

More importantly, Doug Cerrito on guitar. Suffocation, while still pretty good, has never been the same without him.
@@jerrycampbell5010 yeah, MOST importantly. that guy was the fucking riff wizard
Frank was every bit as brutal live as he was on record. Just a crushing voice.
So true, so many bands fake it in the studio but this is the real deal.
Goat death metal voice my friend
Pretty sure he used some type of effects….
@@RamManNo1listen to that shit. Nah. Basic studio magic is probably all. Eq, compression, Reverb, layering
Wow, Cannibal Corpse with Barnes, and the OG suffocation line up played at this show. Miss those days man.
was in the front row. as soon as the first chords hit, all fucking hell broke loose on the floor. it was...intense to say the least.
I was 18 years old and served finnish army in those days. Fuck I was so possessed into this band and still nowadays I love these glorious early days tunes.
God damn. I wish death metal shoes still pulled in crowds like this.
Better lace them "shoes" up before ya get in the pit 🤘🤓🤘
Legendary lineup, legendary time in death metal.
that circle pit looks literally dangerous...kudos to the crowd for responding appropriately
As it fukn should be!!

Youll never forget such moments. The crowd needed that slam . That was the beginning of it all.
my favorite suffocation line up.
Isn’t the Effigy-Pierced lineup EVERYONE’s favorite lineup? Lol
@@joeyuzwa891 effigy had Mike Smith on drums, , pierced had Doug on drums

Great show!!! The best line up!!! The master Doug Cerrito on guitar.....\m/
3:09 That Circle Pit tho.......🤘🏻
The guy in the black shirt at 00:10 reminds me of my football coach.
SUFFOCATION my favorite band since 1992 !!!!!
Suffocation at their most brutal selves 🔥🔥🔥
One of the most important bands in our scene.🤘
Mike Smith beats those drums like they said something bad about his momma! I saw this shit fucking live and it was fucking GODLY!!!
that echo is such a gem on these vocals. when i heard this the first time i was on shock. it was to good :)
THE MOST EXTREME SONG EVER !!!
OMG I can't believe there's a video of this I was there Suffocation & Obituary stole the entire show 🤘
Mike Smith is a drum god. Eat your heart out lars...
Frank’s voice was amazing during this era
They are the ABSOLUTE MASTERS OF BRUTAL DEATH METAL. Period. Hail Suffocation!!!
On this I agree. Suffocation produced Effigy of the forgotten. The heaviest album I've ever heard to this day.
They are definitely top 5 when it comes to brutal traditional death metal. My personal list 1.Atheist 2. death 3. Morbid Angel 4. Cannibal corpse 5. suffocation
Dude! I was there in the pit!
imyourgodmachine Wow! You were in that pit and I was born over 10 years after this was filmed! Shows the age differences in metal!
prove it....
Was this the year before the Milwaukee Metalfest moved to Eagles Club and Rave or something? (Notice the seats on the sides. )Thanks for replying.
fucking niceeeeee

The begining of Slam
It was around long before Suffocation.
En esos años habia muchisimas bandas de death metal que ahora son legendarias gracias al tiempo que nos permitio vivir esos momentos.
I had no clue Terrence Hobbs had short hair back in the day.
Michael Pritchett and Frank was skinny as fuck.
And Frank had Hair, lol
Smarten up
The braids didn't start really coming in till the mid-later 90s. He usually wore a baseball cap backwards so it might have been hard to tell back then.
Short hair when you have hair, long when you start losing it, thats the way to do it. Unironically though his skullet looks badass
I got to meet these guys back then and smoked with them. Hobbs and Smith are the nicest guys in the world. The entire album kicks ass
God i wish i was at this concert but i wasnt even born then
legendary concert, the Birth of modern metal
What? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That circle pit looks insane
Gold!
I was there, it was awesome!!!
Arguably the best osdm band. Mike Smith was such a fucking beast.
Frank Mullen was so ahead of his time. Even today there are very few vocalists that can get even remotely close to as low as him.
Insane band, even though the lineup is wildly different I’ll need to see them eventually.
I wish the soundboard of this show was recorded on tape
Incredible lineup. Absolute all stars around the board. Doug Cerrito and Frank Mullen are total influences of mine however we all know Suffo wouldn’t be shit without HOBBS.
Or Mike
How did Terrance keep his 👓's on back in the day?!!! Classick!!! 💀 😀 😎 👍
Holy shit! Frank used to have long hair?
Obvio poser
@@cesarcastroastudillo4839 Why the fuck are you casting Harry Potter spells?
@@cesarcastroastudillo4839 que payaso te ves insultando con "pOsEr" (And yes Im casting Harry Potter spells)
Awesome beyond belief.
They are simply the best
What a time to be alive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
fucking ferocious!
THIS IS PERFECTION
I miss these days.. NYC had the best metal tho...
They were a much heavier band when Doug Cerrito was with them.
This is awesome
Mike Smith, BEAST OF DRUMS.
INSANE!!!!!!😮❤😮
Tremendous.
I'm surprised I don't see any comments on Frank's awesome hair lol.
@sikk fukken kunt so true...and Terrance is the king of Riffs and Leads...\\m//
Shirtless death metal 🤘✊

SSSIIICCCKKK!!!!
The intro song is lit af
3:05 HERMOSO :')
🤘
god ..
holy shit
👍👍
4:16
So this is the video version of the track from the 'Live Death' CD.
Damn... I love Frank with long hair...
Back when Frank's vocals were low
I like later era Frank vocals more like I like later era Barney Greenway vocals from napalm death.
3:36 creepiest person walks across the screen, wtf was that?
.25 playback speed confirms for me this is infact a reptilian.
💀
Thats some crazy ass hair on that guy
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Its crazy seeing frank with hair lol. Gotta love frank tho🤘🤘🤘
The old bassist and the new ones plays the same stance lol
Now the old bassist can barely stand, amd definitely cant play bass... meth, its a hell of a drug
i was only two then. shit. atleas I've seen them a ton of time before frank called it quits.
First Gen Aw man, i never got to seem ’em with frank :-(
frank looks like a young rob halford here
Trying to understand wtf kind of headbanging Chris Richards is autistically performing on 3:00
hahahah 🤣
Franks hair is actually starting to recede here
DIOCANE TOTALI!
Who was headlining that's a huge ass crowd.
Keep in mind, that death metal was kinda huge right when it exploded in the early nineties.
SinnedNogara i think it was deicide. It was in the mecca arena.
Milwaukee Death Fest, 1992. Malevolent Creation played “Retribution” and there was like bomb.
Metal fest at the meca
which venue?
wow Frank have long haïr .hehe
Back when death metal was actually good.
The good thing is that it still looks good over the years.
lol at skinny Frank w/hair
and how they all just start shirtless from song 1
Doug Cerrito , the brain of Suffocation !!! without him and Franck Mullen, this group is no longer !!!
To me, Terrance is the most important member. His solos and slam riffs are paramount to the sound of suffocation.
@joeyuzwa891 don't forget Chris Richard's the windmilling madman with the warlock
Skinny and with hair!
No chop, no frank mullen!!!!! This is an impostor!
Brutal Rcsm
Back when Frank had blonde Karen hair
Booker T play the guitar
It’s awesome to see a great pit during a breakdown instead of a bunch of wiggers doing spastic karate. Great upload, Suffocation of the 90’s 🤘🏻
I’m sorry, I like kicking the shit out of people so much
I saw suffo and there was no gay karate, just brutal chaotic bone
breaking fukn old school slam moshing. No way any of those
core pussies could handle it, they don’t like actually getting hit they just like hitting air and occasionally sucker punching someone who isn’t in the pit. Total pussies they dodge anyone who’s actually getting rowdy and rough in there, I would know lol
Cannibal corpse must be aware to this band at that time
Who the fuck wasn't aware of suffocation at that time? Especially in the death metal scene.
