Suffocation, one of the earliest American death metal bands, arranged heavy, uniquely rhythmic, riffs into complex song structures to create a sub-genre of the form often termed "brutal" death metal - also known by many as "New York Death Metal," or "nydm" for short. Others in this form include Immolation, Incantation, Skinless, and Morpheus Descends. The band formed in 1990 and has since released many highly-regarded recordings on several labels, including the former powerhouse of the genre, Roadrunner.
