What you don't know is:

I met that guy in a group of people from my university at a Suffocation/Immolation/Skinless show. I was there for Immolation. Nobody else understood this. He, in particular, bugged me about it several times on the train ride home. Listen to Suffocation! Listen to Suffocation! I met him again at Metal Haven, the best record store in Chicago. Topic of discussion was "why don't you appreciate Suffocation?" And then this.

I think the odds of anyone outside of the friendsgroup realizing he was being sarcastic are about... zero? Zero sounds right.

Anyway, this band is called Solecism and they're fucking amazing. progressive death metal, noticible Agalloch influence, and they played covers of Suffocation and Converge- also awesome. You will be hearing about them again.
