Effigy of the Forgotten is the debut full-length album by New York–based death metal band Suffocation, released in 1991. The album features re-recorded versions of several tracks that appeared on the band's Reincremation demo and Human Waste EP. The cover artwork was created by Dan Seagrave. The album was dedicated to the memory of fellow metal band Atheist's bassist Roger Patterson, who was killed in a car crash earlier in 1991. Effigy of the Forgotten was recorded at Morrisound Recording in Tampa, Florida and was produced by Scott Burns. The album's music is highly technical, featuring many guitar solos. George "Corpsegrinder" Fisher has a guest appearance on the track "Mass Obilteration". Dan Seagrave created the album's cover artwork. Effigy of the Forgotten initially received mixed reviews, but has since received critical acclaim and is now regarded as one of the most influential death metal albums of all time, serving as a blueprint for death metal in the 90s. This album and Pierced from Within have been re-released by Roadrunner Records as part of the Two from the Vault series.
