Obsidian One Despite having only five songs, this is still, for me, the best album by Suffocation. The riffs at 0:42 and 2:57 in 'Funeral Inception', at 0:35 in 'Despise the Sun', and at the beginning of 'Bloodchurn' all use that classic Suffocation style: the drums take a step back, then the drums and second guitar come in spurts before finally unleashing the full intensity of their signature death metal sound. And 'Catatonia' remains one of the most iconic death metal tracks of all time. This EP kills it. Favorite track: Catatonia.

Sid Gotta love Suffocation. Not only were they pioneers of brutal death metal, they also continued setting the bar higher for the genre with their technical yet coherent songwriting.

This was the last featuring Chris Richards and Doug Cerrito. It's evident when you listen to this and compare it to Souls of Deny. While Souls to Deny is great, Despise the Sun sounds like a continuation of Pierced From Within than a prelude to Souls of Deny based on the small intricacies of Cerrito and Richards Favorite track: Catatonia.

R Suffocation’s most focused release. Beyond brutal, unrelentingly pummeling. Best death metal EP of all time contender.

Xavier Boucherat YES BOYS CMON THAT’S THE STUFF

Pure Knowing Superbly energetic, glorious grindcore. Favorite track: Desolate Landscapes.

StrengthWithin I’ve been on the fence about this one for a long time. However a special Christmas price on their colored vinyl kicked some sense in me. Great energy from this album. I did have acquire the taste for the vocals. Favorite track: Behind Closed Doors.

Cadavre_Sombre (Midgard_OBM) Good compilation with a cool cover art, one my favorite Death Metal/Grind band, with also melodic passages. I always like the vocals, quite hateful, the compositions are great, awesome riffs, this is catchy and dynamic, excellent release.

Marc Paccaud Le son, le swing lourd, les mélodies qui s'entrecroisent...
