"Pinnacle Of Bedlam" is the seventh studio album by the American death metal band SUFFOCATION. This album is particularly noteworthy as it is the first full-length release since "Pierced From Within" that does not feature Mike Smith, although he does make a guest appearance on the last track. The album includes the return of drummer Dave Culross, who contributes to this project as his only full-length recording with Suffocation and his first since the 1998 release, "Despise The Sun". Track 10, 'Beginning Of Sorrow', is a re-recording of the corresponding track from the album Breeding the Spawn. Additionally, this album marks the final appearance of longtime guitarist Guy Marchais.
