Terrance Hobbs (born April 6, 1970) is an American musician best known as the lead guitarist of the death metal band Suffocation.

[1] He has been a constant member in the band since their first released title Reincremated along with bandmates Frank Mullen and Mike Smith, who all met in high school.

[2] Typically, his shred-heavy, bizarre sounding, "mocking" solos, are famously accompanied with signature tremolo use, usually in the form of divebombs, trills and other unusual techniques.

Pierced from Within contains many examples of this, with an array of atmospheric, palm-muted breakdowns and complex riffs, along with Effigy of the Forgotten and Souls to Deny, the latter of which features a great deal of layered riffing and melodies.

Rich Warlock installed with a Floyd Rose locking tremolo, a DiMarzio Super Distortion bridge pickup, Gotoh tuners, and fitted with D'Addario strings.
