SYWH Podcast 05: Frank Mullen of SUFFOCATION

Trump Plaza shirt and sweatpants, ZERO fux given!!

When it comes to ‘bands who rly mean a lot 2 me,’ there are none who rank higher than the one and only SUFFOCATION (srs). I am super stoked to be joined on this episode by FRANK MULLEN, who is not only the king of slam vokills but also a very very nice dude with a great sense of humor.

We chatted about his duet with Suiside Silence, exchanged theories on the mysterious distinction of NYDM (mine involved a comet, his was more reasonable tbh), Terrence bro-ing down with Nazi bikers, and how Frank almost beat up Big Chocolate in Europe (srs). Oh, and I finally answered the question I’d been asking myself for years: what’s the story behind his Trump Plaza shirt in the “Effigy” inlay photo!

    9 minutes in so far, and it basically just seems like you ranting about how much you dislike metalheads.

    The knock off TRAPAHOLICS guy voice at the beginning A+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

    The “Nazi Bikers” in question were Ching-a-Lings bro, most of them are PR’s or black.

    He needs to say ‘y’know’ less, other than that, top guy. I interviewed him in 2008 for student radio and he was funny as fuck.

    • Sergeant D says:

      SYWH readers must all be communications majors, they are 10x more interested in critiquing the delivery of interviewees than the content of the interviews themselves.

    I still remember seeing the CD for the first time (after owning a Memorex copy and wearing it out) and thinking to myself: “Oh my GOD. They’re BLACK! This somehow makes them even more cool and brootle!”

    That, and having a friend trying to convince me he can hear the “bluesy, unmistakeable black groove” in their music.

  12. walter the einstein frog says:

    the attitude about the white power kids is precisely why i stopped going to DM shows in the 90s. when WP kids came to hardcore shows they got their asses kicked, as BRUTAL as DM kids claimed to be, they were a bunch of pussy ass nerds who wouldn’t say shit.

    • Nightshift says:

      Or they had better things to worry about than what kind of shirt some idiot was wearing. Fucking hardcore guys are always so full of shit.

  13. Anonymous says:

    frank his just trying to be nice on the interview … but you can tell he hates big chocalate sooo bad.

  14. Isaac says:

    the dude’s accent always kills me
    “we’ve never been to singapoa befoa”
