SUFFER YOURSELF

The third full-length studio album by Ukrainian/Swedish Funeral Doom/Death Metal band.
Suffer Yourself is a Stockholm-based project focused on creation of deeply dark and atmospheric soundscapes. Following the acclaimed and respected 2016 release of “Ectoplasm”, Suffer Yourself have returned with a new album that has taken the band to a new level of composition, construction and expression.
What immediately stands out is the darker Death Metal tones found within “Rip Tide” – those tones signified in the deathly Doom of acts such as Esoteric or Evoken. However, Suffer Yourself create their own space, with the maturity from over a decade of craft and unblinkered vision.
Throughout “Rip Tide” there is an undercurrent of suffocating Drone, with all tracks being built upon the claustrophobic foundations of a Drone score created by Belarusian artist Ugasanie. From that point, the expressive composition adds layers of beautifully dissonant guitar work that has a notable 90s Death Metal feel to it.
Within that, there is an almost cinematic scope to the album – with sounds and samples embroidered into the music. The final touch being delivered with a mesmerizing cello part – that is wonderfully woven into the tracks and adds such depth. Even though the feel of the album is the same throughout, there is a distinct difference between all tracks.
All these elements are brought together, to create a maelstrom, a master class in Underground Extreme Death Doom Metal. Suffer Yourself have crafted a wonderful album and have shown the world that they now sit amongst the best of the Extreme Doom genre!
The album features guest appearances by Ugasanie and Jiro Yoshioka. Mastered by Greg Chandler (Esoteric).
