<… Read Full Bio ↴A 5 piece deathcore band from Oakland, California that formed in 2003.
Born from the dark depths of Oakland, CA in 2003, Suffokate has crafted their own brand of crushing deathcore music with plans of world domination. The band was formed by friends; Taylor & Lars who both shared a passion for death metal and beatdown music. Soon thereafter Bray took over bass duties. Their mission was to create devastating songs with well-written breakdowns. After several lineup changes and battling it out in the bay area hardcore scene, the band caught the attention of Jamey Jasta (Hatebreed) and soon released their first album entitled "Oakland" on his label, Stillborn Records. Coming off of the momentum of their first release and the addition of Ricky and Tesoro, the band destroyed in nearly every state across the country as they toured with such acts as Sworn Enemy, Bury Your Dead, All Shall Perish, For The Fallen Dreams, and Abigail Williams. Their hard work paid off as they recently signed with hardcore giant, Mediaskare Records.
Their Mediaskare debut entitled "No Mercy, No Forgiveness" came out on February 23rd, 2010 and features 10 new skull-rattling tracks that are sure to destroy everything in their path.
We Long for Your Blood
Suffokate Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Im taking the pieces i value
Here comes the chopping block
Your neck is next just hope the blade makes it through
Eyelids torn off
To let the truth in
This aggression stems forth
I want to hear your last goodbyes
Dont look around for a rescue
Cause we all want you dead
This storm of hatred cant be stopped now
And your gonna suffer
No one is gonna save you now
This soul is blackened
No light shines in
The last chance of life
You had left
Just came and went
Like a bullet through the chest
How does it feel to be strapped down
Lifes almost over
Stop breathing your out of luck
This is what when i let it all go
No one is spared no one is spared
I hear the voices
Hack the head the beg me
Saw through the neck there screaming
We long for your blood
