SHUSH Unleash “Suffocate The Population” — A Brutal New Project Featuring Luke Griffin


A new force emerges from the UK extreme metal underground as SHUSH unleash their crushing debut statement, “Suffocate The Population,” now available with an official visualizer. Rooted firmly in the violent intensity of modern deathcore, the project brings together a lineup of seasoned names from the global extreme scene.

At the center of SHUSH stands Luke Griffin, widely known for his work with Acrania, Human Error, and Scribe of Existence. Joining him is guitarist Luke Haarhoff of Vulvodynia, alongside drummer Joe Bills. Together, the trio forms a devastating new collaboration that channels the raw aggression and technical brutality each member is known for.

“Suffocate The Population” delivers exactly what fans would expect from such a lineup: crushing low-tuned riffs, punishing rhythmic grooves, and ferocious vocal savagery. The track blends suffocating breakdowns with bursts of relentless speed, creating a sonic assault that feels both methodical and chaotic. Griffin’s unmistakable vocal attack dominates the track, bringing his signature gutturals and commanding intensity to the forefront of the project.

Emerging from London, SHUSH tap directly into the darker side of deathcore, crafting a sound that leans heavily into oppressive atmosphere and pure destructive force. The band’s approach embraces the genre’s most brutal elements while maintaining a tight, modern production that allows every punishing moment to land with maximum impact.

The official visualizer accompanies the track with dark, immersive visuals that complement the song’s relentless energy, offering a stark visual representation of the crushing soundscape the band has created.

With “Suffocate The Population,” SHUSH arrive with a clear mission—deliver uncompromising brutality and establish a new chapter for some of deathcore’s most formidable musicians.
