SUFFOCATION have announced a new live album!

Titled Live In North America, the upcoming album from the pioneering death metal band captures the last performances from original vocalist Frank Mullen during his last North American tour, and is scheduled to be released in November this year, via Nuclear Blast Records.

The upcoming live album was mixed and mastered by Christian Donaldson [BEYOND CREATION, CRYPTOPSY] and the release plays like a ‘best of’, and intends to be the perfect farewell to one of the most influential singers in extreme music. The artwork for the album was created by Jon Zig. The live album releases ahead of the band’s co-headlining European tour with BELPHEGOR next year.

Speaking about the upcoming live album, guitarist Terrance Hobbs says, “we couldn’t be more excited to bring our fans our new live CD Live In North America featuring Frank Mullen‘s last performances with SUFFOCATION. We couldn’t think of a better way to wish Frank a fantastic farewell into retirement for all his contributions to this band as a great frontman, influence, and friend – and to also share this farewell with the fans, new and old, who have been there for us over the decades. We hope the fans will hold Frank‘s last recorded live tour with us close to your hearts as we do. As another chapter from SUFFOCATION closes, we are more than ready and anxious to bring you more new music and classic death metal in the upcoming months and years. So keep your eyes and ears open, stay heavy and play it loud… see you all on the road!”

Alongside the announcement of the new live album, the band have released a new live song from the upcoming release; Funeral Inception. The track’s accompanying video features photographs taken by Jason Carlson.
