Pierced from Within is the third album by the death metal band Suffocation, released in 1995. "Synthetically Revived" is a re-recording of the song of the same name from the Human Waste EP and "Breeding the Spawn" is a re-recording of the title track from the band's previous album.[citation needed]
Both this album and Effigy of the Forgotten have been re-released by Roadrunner Records as part of the Two from the Vault series.
Before 2013's Pinnacle of Bedlam, this was the only full-length album by Suffocation not to feature Mike Smith as a drummer. It is the band's last album with guitarist Doug Cerrito and bassist Chris Richards, and the only with drummer Doug Bohn.
Guitarist Terrance Hobbs has cited Pierced From Within as his favorite Suffocation album.[7] At 45 minutes and 31 seconds, Pierced from Within is the band’s longest album to date.
