Free Music Notes for Despise the Sun
Free Music Review: Probably the second best effort by NYC's most brutal
Hit: 5 Stars
"Despise the Sun" of 1998 is as good, second for second, as "Pierced from Within". This five song EP doesn't have a weak moment in it and is produced much like the prior effort by the master of all Death Metal production, Scott Burns. (Okay, the bass end is a little too heavy.) Starting off with the groove heavy "Funeral Inception", Dave Culross (Malevolent Creation, great drummer) drives the song with his super consistent double bass and great feel. But no Suffocation album would be complete without Doug Cerrito and Terrance Hobbs, one of the best guitar duos in metal history alongside Kerry King and Jeff Hanneman, Gary Holt and Rick Hunolt. The riffs are as clever and ever changing as the minute counter on the play button of your CD player.
The tempos most go between the fast double time thrashing and medium paced blast beats but there are a few slower groove heavy parts ("Catatonia") with a little Hardcore flavor (like they're summoning the ghost of the Cro-mags). The bass is kinda twangy and mixed a little lower than most bands would go, but I think it only adds to the character of the overall sound. Frank Mullen's low lingering growl keeps the entire album together.
It is short but is as good as "Pierced" time wise, so it definitely is worth picking up. Too bad they didn't keep Dave Culross, and too bad they didn't stay together during what looks in retrospect to be their creative peak. A quality album recommended to every Suffocation fan and every discerning Death Metal listener.
