Suffocation became the arguably most influential band in the emerging scene of technical and brutal death metal bands in the early 90's. Most influential bands eventually find themselves surpassed by younger acts building on the legacy of their forerunners. Suffocation is a notable exception and has released a tremendous string of albums since 1991. '…Of the Dark Light' is not their strongest album to date, but that says more about their enormous standard of songwriting. With Suffocation we know what we get and we love them for it.
