Immolation

One of the original vanguards of death metal , Immolation returns with their 12th album, Descent. Once again, long-time fans and unsuspecting newcomers will be confronted with hymns of darkness and fury, invoked by one of the most respected names in the genre. Within these ten tracks, Immolation continues their journey away from the rejection of Catholicism and further into Gnostic foreboding. Is Earth actually Hell? Amid frantic drums, searing guitars, and an unparalleled vocal roar that embodies Immolation's signature sound, the answer is clear - no help is coming. The album's title is self-evident as it chronicles the descent of failed empires, endless wars, and the corruption of the human soul. Since their legendary 1991 debut, Dawn of Possession, they have maintained an enduring standard of conviction and innovation that has influenced countless bands across the globe. Mixed and mastered by Zack Ohren, Descent offers a muscular production that captures the band in its most fiery and brooding moments alike. This is death metal that stands alone with a unique and elevated voice. Often imitated, but never surpassed, Immolation proves again why they remain one of the most enduring names in metal. If you're already a fan, you know why. If Descent is your first introduction, you will be a convert soon enough. - Jeff Tandy Ross Dolan - Bass/Vocals Robert Vigna - Guitar Steve Shalaty - Drums Alex Bouks - Guitar
