SUFFOCATION tour and studio updates[views:49488][posts:6]______________________________________ [Mar 11,2009 9:54am - the_reverend ""] SUFFOCATION - STUDIO UPDATE + MORE TOUR DATES REVEALED New York based extreme metal pioneers, SUFFOCATION, recently checked in from the studio to offer an update on the progress of their new album Blood Oath: “We've just completed another shift at Full Force Studios (6pm - 2am, typical shift). As for a progress report - we've completed all the drum tracking and rhythm and bass guitars as of this past Sunday. What we'll have left to do starting today is record guitar solos and getting Frank (Mullen) in there to lay down the vocals. We're looking to wrap it up next week and start rehearsing a set for the up coming ‘Blood Apocalypse Tour’ soon after that. All in all, we can honestly say this record is SLAMMIN’ HEAVY and we got some nice little twists for ya' too. We look forward to crushing some stages for you all real fucking soon! Also, videographer Jon Bickford has been in the studio with us shooting the final segments (Blood Oath studio sessions and interviews) to be included in the forth coming SUFFOCATION DVD!” SUFFOCATION recently announce the complete dates for their upcoming headlining run dubbed the "Blood Apocalypse" tour.

| ___________________________________________ [Mar 11,2009 10:11am - largefreakatzero ""] I liked the music on the last album, but found the vocal patterns kind of annoying. Regardless, these guys still crush live. But no, I won't sit through the painfulness of Metalfest to see them. |
