Immolation

Metal Ken · 09-27-2007, 04:59 PM

Immolation is a band that i bought a few CD's from a few years ago, and listened to them a few times and couldnt immediately get into.

Then around last year i broke out Close to A World Below again.
I clearly was an idiot and promptly decided that this was one of the most kickass death metal albums ever.
Close To A World Below has all the qualifiers of a great DM album. First, the album cover (See avatar). The riffs are brutal. I Can't honestly think of a band that sounds like Immolation. They're so unique. Thats what made it hard for me to get into them at first, but after you get some serious listening in, you can't stop. And the lyrics. Also, they are awesome. (see sig).

Thusly, I now have Close to A World Below, Unholy Cult and Harnessing Ruin.

Anyone know how their new disc is?

Their new album shares some similarities with Harnessing Ruin but on the whole I'd say it's a much better album. Harnessing Ruin is definitely their weakest album but by general death metal standards it's still pretty good. You can't really go wrong with any of their stuff, so you might as well get their debut Dawn Of Possession next and move on from there.

Dawn Of Possesion is what got me into Immolation back in 1992. Since then, i've always liked them. Badass band. I haven't got their newest one yet but I will soon.

Close to a World Below is a must for TRUE death metal fans

i had harnessing ruin but I didn't like it all. I deleted it from my PC. But maybe you're right, it might take a few listens to get into them.

My first proper tour was with immolation on the bill. Seriously, those guys were the nicest people ever, they rocked. COuld not say a single bad word about them, even if i tried. Super cool guys, fucking awesome music as well
