Immolation Shadows in the Light Century Media 2007 |
Immolation is one of those stalwart bands like Dismember and Bolt Thrower, that seem to always make the same album with each new release. Fans of these groups, however, will argue that the subtle improvements, changes and arrangements are enough to make the new release its own work, and a worthwhile purchase. I, being a follower of all... Read More » |

Immolation Dawn of Possession Metal Mind Records 2006 |
In the beginning… (i.e. 1984) there existed Mantas and Morbid Angel. After a slew of demos from both bands and a name change (Mantas to Death), the 90’s rolled around and American Death Metal truly was born. The New York and Tampa schools began in earnest, with pioneers such as Deicide and Suffocation releasing the ‘seminal works’ that eventually lead... Read More » |

Immolation Harnessing Ruin Olympic Recordings 2005 |
There are no bands quite like Immolation. They sound like a dead man; like a murder victim; like anxiety. And all this without hokey lyrics or a silly image to hide behind. Having explored a slightly new path with their last album, "Unholy Cult", the New York quartet seems back on track, so to speak, with this new ton of... Read More » |

Immolation Harnessing Ruin Olympic Recordings 2005 |
New York's favorite agents of Satan have returned for a sixth full length of blasphemy and hatred, and I couldn't be happier. Ross Dolan might deliver his best vocal performance yet on this album as it is one of the few death metal albums I have that I don't need a lyric sheet for. This doesn't mean for... Read More » |

Immolation Unholy Cult Olympic Recordings 2002 |
Immolation release "Unholy Cult" just as we in North America are entering autumn, and the timing is approrpriate. Autumn is truly the season of death, as daylight shrinks from the land and all things shiver and die into the ever colder winter months, knowing that no relief will come soon. How delicious then to have the sound of Hell's heat... Read More » |

Immolation Close to a World Below Metal Blade 2000 |
Along with Incantation and Suffocation, Immolation have pretty much cornered the market on the NYDM sound. It's interesting to see these three bands start from a similar beginning and how they've grown apart, but retained the trademarks of the genre they created.
The latest Immolation, though full of jaw dropping guitar work [especially on the title track], is probably their most... Read More » |

Immolation Close to a World Below Metal Blade 2000 |
When you listen to Immolation, you know you are listening to really extremely heavy death metal. There's no way around that aspect of their music. The guitars are tuned extra low, the drummer is playing frantically, and Ross Dolan's vocals are about as deep as they come (well, close at least). On the band's fourth... Read More » |

Immolation Here in After Metal Blade 1996 |
Immolation's second CD came five years after their debut, Dawn of Possession. Here In After is kinda like listening to a warped record in a small, locked metal box on a hot July day while people randomly smash the outside with baseball bats.
Alex Hernandex is a triggerless monster on the drums, pounding like Bill Ward on crack with timing.... Read More » |
