| Additional notes | |||
| Suffocation are widely considered as pioneers of brutal and technical death metal. The band split up after "Despise The Sun" and reformed in 2004 with some line-up changes. Doug Cerrito was asked to join when the band reformed in 2003, but apparently he wasn't interested. "Human Waste" was the first CD ever released on Relapse Records. Though, they aren't the first band released on the label (they first released a bunch of 7" singles), it is the first printed and distributed CD by Relapse. Birth dates: Frank Mullen (January 1970) Terrance Hobbs (April 1970) Mike Smith (July 1970) Guy Marchais (May 28, 1969) Dave Culross (March 9, 1974) Kevin Talley (21st May 1979, San Antonio, Texas, USA) | |||
