Of The Dark Light is a direct extension of its three predecessors. Suffocation’s first post-reunion platter, 2004’s Soul To Deny was clearly designed to reassure all of those who thought that the band whose Effigy Of The Forgotten debut still shapes 95% of the current US death metal had since lost their mojo. From the Long Islanders’ eponymous 2006 album onwards, all their efforts have been focused on keeping their feet in the late 80s tradition while dipping their toes into the 21st century. And here they’ve extended that approach by closing the album with a re-recorded track from their 1993.

Of The Dark Light sees the band doing a throwback to just old-school Suffocation, presenting a more technical and more nuanced approach to the sound of Effigy of the Forgotten, Pierced From Within, and Despise The Sun, an approach to an overwhelming, non-stop hammering, atonal-enhanced interrogation session with slightly more melodic sections, all there to convey a sinister agenda. The other thing that this album really brings back to the forefront is the proof that, while a technical band at heart, Suffocation are the masters of rhythm manipulation, and synchronous and asynchronous riff/drum motion. It’s Suffo, and it’s 100% in the upper echelon of death metal that’s coming out this year, in a class of its own. Sophisticated, brutal, and compelling. f The Dark Light is one of the best albums in the entire Suffocation catalogue, and one of the best albums of this year.
