3 unusual facts about Pierced from Within


Breeding the Spawn

Most likely to make up for the relatively poor production on the album, tracks from Breeding the Spawn were re-recorded for inclusion on four Suffocation albums to date: "Breeding the Spawn" on Pierced from Within; "Prelude to Repulsion" and "Anomalistic Offerings" on Suffocation (the latter found on the Japanese version of the album); "Marital Decimation" on Blood Oath; "Beginning of Sorrow" on Pinnacle of Bedlam.

Effigy of the Forgotten

Both this album and Pierced from Within have been re-released by Roadrunner Records as part of the Two from the Vault series.

Terrance Hobbs

Pierced from Within is a classic example, containing an array of complex breakdowns and atmospheric solos, along with Effigy of the Forgotten and Souls to Deny, which features a great deal of layered riffing and unusual melodies.
