Francis P. Mull Eugene Mullen (born January 2, 1970) is an American vocalist, best known as the former frontman for the New York technical death metal band Suffocation.
With Suffocation, he was noted for his "command of the stage with slice ‘n’ dice hand chop motion and deranged, homicidal rants between songs.
[4] He met bandmates Terrance Hobbs and Mike Smith in high school and they formed a metal cover band, Wombrot, in which he initially played bass.
[9] The album was criticized for "its short length", "its perceived repetition of the predecessor's overall formula" and a "muddy final mix".
[12] In 2009, Mullen was the vocalist on Blood Oath which the band released with the record label Nuclear Blast.
[14] Pitchfork said of Mullen's vocals, while "he spews tales of madness, megalomania, and paranoia", his "growls are surprisingly understandable".
He made his final U.S. appearance as the lead vocalist for the band in their performance at Nightclub Reverb in Reading, Pennsylvania on November 17, 2018.
He was among the first to implement the ultra-low style, aided by blocking off some of the mic ports in the early days to help muffle and muddy his sound.
I'm a big fan of like Stevie Ray Vaughan, Run-DMC, old hard rock, The Who, The Doors, Janet Jackson, Zeppelin.
