Genre: Post-metal, sludge, post-rock, screamo

Suffocate For **** Sake is a swedish band that mixes warm post-rock melodies with violent sludge, post-hardcore riffs and screamo vocals. They also use lengthy samples of spoken Swedish over their tracks.
Blazing Fires and Helicopters on the Front Page... is the bands first full length album and follows a swedish girl when she's looking back to the time when she got put in a mental institute.
I first heard about this band from my friend. The name was the first thing that caught my interest and my expectations weren't so high because of the name but when I listened to the album I was proven wrong. I really loved the album and it is now one of my favorite albums. I really love the overall feeling of the album and the theme of loosing control of yourself. I love the swedish spoken parts and the fact I know swedish adds alot to it. I find the whole listening experience really overwhelming. Go listen to this album now if you haven't already!
