about

Back in 1989, Suffer formed at the dawn of death metal’s Midwestern rise. Teenagers at the time, they were one of the first extreme metal bands in South Dakota. Now they return with their first new music in 8 years: 3 new songs and an accompanying DVD called Gristle, Bruised Spots & Trimmed Fat.

“This new material is absolute proof that you don't have to “age out” of Death Metal,” comments vocalist/guitarist C.R. Petit. “Suffer was formed in 1989, and 2024 will mark 35 years for us. There is no doubt that this album is the absolute best material we have done together.”

The opening single “Human Primal Cuts” introduces the band’s brutal modus operandi. Their collision of old school gore and modern brutality will appeal to fans of Carcass, Asphyx, and Undeath. C.R. Petit and bassist Jason Ellsworth are also both members of Angerot (Redefining Darkness Records) as well as Empty Throne (Wise Blood Records). After releasing outstanding music from both of those bands the last few years, new music from Suffer was hopeful, but never guaranteed.

“To be honest, I really didn't think we would [release another album],” Petit admits. “Most of us have moved on with other bands and projects, family and careers. But, there is something incredibly special to each of us when it comes to Suffer. Something that makes it nearly impossible to just walk away from.”

To celebrate the project’s endurance, Suffer has compiled a splatter of live footage, interviews, and retrospective insight for a DVD included in the CD edition of the EP. Gristle, Bruised Spots & Trimmed Fat smashes the cemetery gates open on December 15th, 2023. Suffer returns with their full-length comeback album in 2024.

I've gotten myself into GR by first getting their last album, then decided to give this one a go too. Atoms divide, life decays, seems we are into nuclear explosions here, that is how GR feels, a powerful and fast blitz and stormy riffs and groovy hardcorish - thrashy blasts. Highly recommended for all thrash lovers out there. Toxic Holocaust does come in mind, true that, Wraith, Municipal Waste fans should love this ! sachavonkarl74

What a ride. Finally listened to it this morning and I can’t put it down. There’s so much of all the elements that make a great black metal band here and Krigsgrav take it to the bank in a heartbeat. So much zeal and fire! Absolutely blistering melodies. Piper Haqim

Ooooh, this band makes thrash fun (and remind me of their label mates Gravesend in that fashion). I hear a lot of (newer) Kreator influences, which is to my likings! dcdirkzwager
