Death Metal trio Suffer, in collaboration with Decibel Magazine, are proud to present the pre-release stream of new album, Grand Canvas of the Aesthete! Stream it now, ahead of Friday’s release at:

“Prepared to be crushed by riffs, torn apart by growls, and pounded into dust by relentless drumming. Suffer is here with a new album, their second full-length but part of a long legacy stretching back to the early days of death metal in 1990.”

– Decibel

“It is spectacular. Highly recommended.”

– Flying Fiddlesticks

“Suffer has aged wonderfully into the 21st century alongside the progenitors of the genre, bringing with them a very particular flavor that is difficult to emulate by newer acts. There’s an eloquence to the brutality and precision in their chaos that will feel familiar to the true epicure.”

– Toilet ov Hell

“Grand Canvas Of The Aesthete gives the more progressive part of the death metal scene a whole range of fresh impulses that lovers of the Schuldliner legacy should definitely not miss.” (9/10)

– Powermetal.de

“Suffer harness an old school, decrepit style of death metal that few today have replicated.”

– The Razors Edge

“This is death metal from its disgusting veins, the roots long since given way to rot, yet this band still finds inspiration in that cesspool. This also is a really fun record, especially for those of us who basked in death metal’s stench for so long, giving another reason to be excited by this punishing style.”

– Meat Mead Metal

“With its overwhelming power, impeccable production and lyrical depth, it is a work that will please both long-time followers and new fans of death metal.”

– TNT Radio Rock

“You can teach an old dog new tricks but when the old trick is this good, why bother? (8/10)

– Metal Noise

Suffer will release Grand Canvas of the Aesthete on CD, vinyl, and digital formats on March 29 via Wise Blood Records.

Back in 1989, Suffer formed at the dawn of death metal’s Midwestern rise. Teenagers at the time, they were one of the first extreme metal bands in South Dakota. In December, they closed 2023 with their first new music in eight years. Mere months later, they chase their Gristle, Bruised Spots & Trimmed Fat EP with a brutal and brilliant comeback record, Grand Canvas of the Aesthete.

“This new material is absolute proof that you don’t have to “age out” of Death Metal,” comments vocalist/guitarist C.R. Petit. “Suffer was formed in 1989, and 2024 will mark 35 years for us. There is no doubt that this album is the absolute best material we have done together.”

“This is the first Suffer material that was not written by hashing things out in a rehearsal room as a group,” Petit adds. “There was far more scrutiny in riff, structure and transition as well as lyrics and production. We didn’t settle for what was close. We all wanted this to surpass everything we have done in the past.”

Suffer’s collision of elevated gore and old school brutality will appeal to fans of Carcass, AsphyxExhumed, and Undeath. C.R. Petit and bassist Jason Ellsworth are also both members of Angerot (Redefining Darkness Records) as well as Empty Throne (Wise Blood Records). After releasing outstanding music from both of those bands the last few years, new music from Suffer was hopeful, but never guaranteed.

“To be honest, I really didn’t think we would [release another album],” Petit admits. “Most of us have moved on with other bands and projects, family and careers. But, there is something incredibly special to each of us when it comes to Suffer. Something that makes it nearly impossible to just walk away from.”

“Initially, it was preconceived that this was the swan song,” Petit reveals. “We wanted to have one last chance to make a Suffer album that sounded the way every Suffer recording should have sounded. But, this entire process has been absolutely fantastic and I am not sure that we could simply walk away. I am pretty sure that we all have more Suffer in the tank.”
