SUFFOCATION; NEW VIDEO TO PREMIER ON HEADBANGERS BALL

Relapse Records recording artists SUFFOCATION will see their new video -- for the song "Surgery of Impalement" -- premier on this weekend's edition of 'Headbangers Ball'. 'Headbangers Ball' airs Saturdays from 10-12 PM EST on MTV2.

Taken from SUFFOCATION's new album Souls to Deny, the "Surgery of Impalement" video was filmed at Philadelphia's Eastern State Penitentiary and features the band (vocalist Frank Mullen, drummer Mike Smith, guitarists Terrance Hobbs and Guy Marchais and bassist Derek Boyer) performing live in various locations in and around the prison's locale. Still images from the video, which is expected to make its world premier in the immediate future, can be viewed at this location: http://www.relapse.com/preview/suffocationvideo.jpg

Yeah it's already up and is a sick ass video. I liked it. The masters are back......

New suffocation wasnt what i expected. I liked it, but pierced from within eats it for breakfast.

There're getting to many pats on the ass for this album...The recording sounds like it was done in a basement......Very low quality for suffocation.....Which is too bad cause the music sounds good....

Im not into the new disc at all. Very weak sounding.

yah they said at the show in worchester to look for their new video on MTV. I didn't believe it but fuck me runnin...

i expected way more from the new cd. production ruins it. depise the sun can't be topped.
