The story of Suffering began in the UK’s West Midlands in 2012 and since those nascent days they have released a nefarious collection of occult black metal offerings.

They have also built a reputation for intense, diabolical live performances, appearing alongside the likes of Esoteric, Ghost Bath, and Møl.

The band recently signed with infamous label, Apocalyptic Witchcraft, with label founder Conor Droney describing Suffering as “dark, unflinching, and deeply atmospheric, exactly what we stand for.” Things Seen But Always Hidden is an enveloping nightmarish journey through temptation and spiritual destruction, an immersion in contrasting states of terror and ecstasy – it bewilders, consumes and possesses the power to change and scar.

Each song seeps into the next, binding them into a grimoire of dehumanising ritual, yet they exist as powerful individual entities.

“Things Seen But Always Hidden” represents Suffering as a band where we had wanted to be from the start whilst forever venturing further into the darkness.”.
