Breeding the Spawn by Suffocation

Breeding the Spawn is the second full-length album by Suffocation. Though it still employs the characteristics and elements associated with Suffocation's song writing, the production on the album is much thinner than on other albums, with the guitars low in the mix and frequent changes in volume. The title track was re-recorded and released on Pierced from Within and the track Prelude to Repulsion was re-recorded and released on Suffocation. Suffocation originally intended to record again with Scott Burns & Morrisound but like with Malevolent Creation and their StillBorn album, Roadrunner refused to pay for that studio and forced the band to record elsewhere. The result was fans and critics alike hating the sound...unlike Malevolent Creation however Roadrunner kept Suffocation under contract and allowed them to record with Scott Burns for "Pierced from Within". The album is also noteworthy for being Mike Smith's last involvement with the band until the reformation. The situation with the recording process for this album is one of the major reasons for him leaving the band. ℗ 1993 The All Blacks B.V.
