Standout tracks ‘Seraphim Enslavement,‘ ‘Perpetual Deception,‘ and ‘Delusions of Mortality’ are emphatically SUFFOCATION but are enhanced with what Hobbs calls \"progressive melodies.\" The crushing title track, ‘Immortal Execration,’ and the re-recording of ‘Ignorant Deprivation,’ featuring former throat-man Frank Mullen, are brutal alms to death metal's heaving masses.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Calibri, serif\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan size=\"2\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Century Gothic, serif\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan size=\"1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSUFFOCATION took about a month and a half to record \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Century Gothic, serif\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan size=\"1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHymns from the Apocrypha\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Century Gothic, serif\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan size=\"1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e.
