Suffocation Filming New Video

Suffocation will film a video clip for the track “Cataclysmic Purification” this Sunday with director David Brodsky (Arsis, God Forbid, Kataklysm, Swashbuckle). When asked about the new track and their soon to be released 6th full-length album “Blood Oath,” Suffocation bassist Derek Boyer stated:

"’Cataclysmic Purification’ audibly portrays a calamitous future approaching. With this song and the rest of the album I think we've maintained the musical integrity of the band while still having comprehendible brutality. ‘Blood Oath’ combines straight forward crushing movements with unsuspecting twists that will certainly entertain everyone from the avid Suffocation listener to the 1st  time innocent bystanders."

Suffocation recently have uploaded “Cataclysmic Purification” to www.myspace.com/suffocation. The track is taken from their forthcoming  Nuclear Blast Records debut entitled “Blood Oath,” set for release on July 14 (North America). This will mark Suffocation’s 20th anniversary as a band and as one of metals most important and innovative artists.
