Muhammed Suiçmez (Turkish: [mʊhɒːmˈmɛd sʊˈiːtʃmɛz], born November 28, 1975) is a German-Turkish guitarist and the frontman of the technical death metal band Necrophagist.
Muhammed Suiçmez was born in Karlsruhe to Turkish immigrants. Around the age of 12 he began listening to death metal, and took up an interest in music.
At the age of 14 (in 1989), Suiçmez wrote the lyrics for Onset of Putrefaction. Inspired by Carcass at the time, the lyrics were gory and dark. His soloing style is influenced in a large part by Yngwie Malmsteen and his neoclassical style, as can be seen with his extensive use of the harmonic minor scale, and use of legato techniques and sweep picking. He is also influenced by many classical composers such as Sergei Prokofiev and Ludwig van Beethoven. The end of "Only Ash Remains" is a part from Prokofiev's "The Dance of the Knights". While retaining this strong neoclassical feeling by using harmonic, phrygian dominant, diminished scales, he manages to make his solos extremely emotional, for example the solos in "Fermented Offal Discharge" and "Advanced Corpse Tumor". He ensures that "Onset of Putrefaction" was just "music for the fans", because of its gory lyrics, and produced "Epitaph" in 2004 ; this album was about philosophical themes. The band hasn't yet released a new album, but played a new song since 2009, "Dawn and Demise"
In 1992, he formed Necrophagist, who released their first demo (Requiems of Festered Gore), consisting of five tracks that same year. All the music and lyrics were written by Suiçmez, except one song, which the bassist at that time wrote some of the music for. Suiçmez continued writing music, in fact by 1993 (when he was 18) all the songs for Onset of Putrefaction had already been written (but not recorded).
