Frank mullen guest vocals
Frank Mullen, (born January 1970) is the vocalist of the American death metal band Suffocation, and met band mates Terrance Hobbs and Mike Smith in high school. He is recognized to be among the first to bring low-pitched vocals in death metal. His approach on Effigy of the Forgotten could be considered to be the "blueprint" to the death growls as we know it today. Unlike some death metal vocalists, his lyrics are pronounced more clearly. He achieves this by simply opening his mouth wider, but still retaining his low-pitched growls.

Since after the release of Pinnacle of Bedlam, Mullen announced that he will retire from full-time touring from the band which means that he can no longer tour with the band for more than two weeks, due to his new job.
