After a little more than four years and a fantastic concert right before corona, Suffocation returns to Močvara as part of the “Bow To None” European tour to make the hot summer even hotter and more inconvenient. Because it’s Suffocation after all. The date of this death metal festival is July 29. Tickets at the early bird price of 23 euros can be purchased online until April 1. or out of stock via Hangtime ticketing (https://tickets.hangtimeagency.com/) or at Dirty Old Shop (Tratinska 34), and via the CoreEvent system and at their points of sale. After that, their presale price will be 28 euros.

Suffocation are death metal pioneers founded 36 years ago in Centereach, New York. They drew attention to themselves in 1991 with their debut Effigy of the Forgotten, which immediately became a classic of the genre. After that, they released eight more studio albums, the most current of which is Hymns From The Apocrypha, which saw the light of day in November last year, and which will have a strong emphasis on this occasion in Močvara. It also features the video for “Seraphim Enslavement”, their last video directed by Tom Flynn. It is also worth noting that there was a nice collaboration on the song “Ignorant Deprivation”: the vocalist is Frank Mullen, one of the founders of the band, and the lyrics were written by Mike Smith, the band’s former drummer.

They cited Napalm Death and Sepultura as their role models in the early stages of the band, while their playing trademark, breakdowns, is considered one of the cornerstones of a whole new subgenre: deathcore. The members of the band are lead guitarist Terrance Hobbs, bassist Derek Boyer, rhythm guitarist Charlie Errigo, drummer Eric Morotti and vocalist Ricky Myers, who has been a permanent member of the band since 2019, and is otherwise a vocalist in the American death metal band Disgorge. All in all, a nice party is being prepared in Močvara, just like last time.
