Part 2: The Middle Period and Suffocation 2002-2016

==============

This carries on with death metal and death metal inspired music that I was exposed to throughout the 00s, mostly through friends etc… Then in 2016, on a whim, I went to the summer slaughter tour and saw/heard suffocation for the first time and it changed my life. Partly because Suffocation is amazing and I had somehow avoided hearing them until that day and also because of their new drummer at the time, Eric Morotti. I had never heard an extreme metal drummer sound that good live. Ever. Seeing him play live inspired me to get back into this style of drumming.
