Bio:

Immolation is a name long synonymous with the extreme music scene, delivering some of the most unique and creatively dark death metal the underground has witnessed over the past 28 years. 2017 will mark 29 years for Immolation and in February “Atonement” will prove that this is one band that does not look back, continuing to push the limits and remaining a vibrant force for the future of a genre they helped define.Since the release of their debut album “Dawn of Possession” (Roadrunner) in 1991, IMMOLATION has been paving their way down an ever evolving path of uncompromising musical devastation! Never a band to rely on their previous efforts, IMMOLATION has continued album after album to refine and hone their most identifiable style and sound, creating some of the darkest and most adventurous death metal the scene has ever heard. With such classic albums as “Here In After”, “Failures for Gods”, and “Close To A World Below” (Metal Blade), as well as their more recent critically acclaimed releases, “Unholy Cult”, “Harnessing Ruin”, “Hope and Horror”(ep) and “Shadows In The Light” (Listenable/Century Media), the band has developed into one of the premier extreme acts of our time.2010 saw the next step in IMMOLATION’s evolution with its Nuclear Blast debut, “Majesty and Decay”. With the release of “Majesty and Decay” IMMOLATION not only surpassed their previous releases musically, but had started a new chapter in their career with the added mix/mastering talents of Zack Ohren (Castle Ultimate Studios). Together with long-time producer Paul Orofino (Millbrook Sound Studios), the combination proved to be the key to some of the most powerful sounding IMMOLATION material to date! Not only had IMMOLATION taken their abilities so much further, with some of the most disheartening musical landscapes the band has ever created, but the sound and production was taken to new levels as well, unleashing all the unrelenting force the band truly offers! With their most solid production recorded at that time, accented by the remarkably stunning artwork of then newly recruited Par Olofsson, “Majesty and Decay” became an instant classic!Not too long after, 2011 saw the release of IMMOLATION’s second ever ep entitled “Providence” (Scion A/V). This five song ep of all new original tracks was released by Scion A/V (Toyota) as an online free download, available for fans worldwide. Free cds and vinyl were only available during the band’s U.S tour for this ep, making it an even more sought after release! Overall “Providence” proved again that the combination of Orofino & Ohren, with Par Olofsson once again at the artistic helm, was a team to keep! Production and artwork were once again some of the bands best. “Providence” was not just an ep, it proved to be a five song mammoth that found itself on some of the top release lists for that year! With IMMOLATION creating an interesting collection of avant-garde, yet extremely catchy songs ”Providence” set the tone for where the band was heading, and a taste of what to expect from their next full length lp.With 2013’s “Kingdom of Conspiracy”, the band took things to another level of intensity. With this, the band’s second full length record for Nuclear Blast, it was clear that IMMOLATION had found themselves at their most refined and strongest point to date. “Kingdom of Conspiracy” was without a doubt their most complete, menacing, and grimmest culmination of musical madness the band had ever released! While conceptually taking a dim and bitter look at the realities of our world today, adding an Orwellian twist to its not so distant future, all our fears are soon realized in this soundtrack that mirrors our world more than we choose to accept. And with speeds and intensity beyond anything the band had recorded before, “Kingdom of Conspiracy” became an instant classic to both their fans and piers.February 2017 will see the release of the bands 10th full length release and their third release on Nuclear Blast Records. “Atonement” is truly a defining moment for IMMOLATION, having some of the most mournful orchestrations the band have dared to delve into, redefining themselves once again and coming out holding the torch high! An unrelenting collection of catchy, intense and darkly imaginative tracks, each song on “Atonement” is a testament to the pure style and creativity that makes IMMOLATION who they are! Each song on this record is unique and different from the next, with each one incorporating so many of the classic IMMOLATION elements that put this band in a league of their own when it comes to extreme metal. This is an album takes the listener on a musical journey that touches on all the extremes; the slow and heavy, the fast and savage and the dark and haunting. “Atonement” is hands down the band’s best produced release in their 28 year history. Recorded once again at Millbrook Sound Studios with producer Paul Orofino, mixed and mastered by Zack Ohren (Castle Ultimate Studios), and once again featuring the amazing cover artwork of Par Olofsson along with additional artwork by the very talented Zbigniew Bielak, “Atonement” will have extreme music fans foaming at the mouth! With pinpoint accuracy and violent melodic prowess, and the dark lyrical content touching on the dark realities of humanity and the world we have created, the epic feel and dominating power delivered by “Atonement” is sure to please fans of death/black metal and all extreme music!“Atonement” goes beyond all expectations and will leave its listeners crumbled on the ground in a pile of ash,…thanking IMMOLATION for every minute it took them to get there!

Album:

Many of old-school death metal’s devout share a view, that view is that Immolation are as untouchable as they come – and for good reason. Immolation‘s “classic era” albums – ‘Dawn of Possession’, ‘Here In After’ and ‘Failures For Gods’ remain, to this day, death metal essentials alongside the likes of Alters of Madness, Leprosy and Cause of Death. The albums that followed this “classic era” have all been strong death metal albums, but none, with the exception of 2010’s ‘Majesty and Decay’, have been in the same genre-defining league as the original three. That is until now, until ‘Atonement’.The first aspect of the album to demand your attention is the cover art. While apocalyptic scenes are certainly not an unusual sight in death metal artwork, the cover of ‘Atonement’ is particularly striking. Created by the widely respected Pär Olofsson (the mastermind behind artwork for Exodus, Abysmal Dawn, The Faceless and Immolation‘s excellent eight album, ‘Majesty and Decay’), the cover art features an angel of death figure towering above a burning city in ruins and mounds of corpses strewn across the ground. The brighter, fiery colors that dominate much of the artwork contrasts very nicely with the putrid greenish color of the angel and the death-filled ground. Notably, ‘Atonement’ is the first album since 1996’s ‘Here In After’ to feature the bands original logo.Immolation have created an atmosphere of near-impenetrable darkness that gives the whole record a really sinister and unsettling vibe. Where many bands will employ the use of orchestral instruments to create a particularly dark atmosphere, Immolation have crafted a feeling of impending doom, purely through their barbarous riffing and punishing drum work. All the while Ross Dolan‘s demonic guttural vocals keep the sound deeply rooted in the old-school.Though ‘Atonement’ is packed with truly excellent death metal tracks, as with every album, some tracks stand out more than others. The real highlights come in during the first half though that is not take away from the quality of the rest of the record, as every track is a killer and vital addition. From the ten tonne heavy first single, “Destructive Currents” to the unrelenting brutality of the title track and the classically old-school, Morbid Angel like closer, “Epitaph,” which features some super-melodic and stunning solo breaks, all is essential. “When the Jackals Come” follows the opening “The Distorting Light” and continues the desolate atmosphere established by that first track. The riff work is really quite unsettling and dissonant, and Steve Shalaty‘s drum work favors groove over unending brutality. The closing moments of the track feature some abrasive lead work that leads into the utterly brutalizing “Rise, The Heretics.” In terms of guitar work and vocal delivery, “Rise, The Heretics” is as heavy as they come. Hooky groove focused and drenched in the gloomy atmosphere the opening tracks created, “Rise, The Heretics” stands as possibly the best song here. “Thrown to the Fire” follows immediately and the lead work accompanying the unsettling riffing instantly further cements the darkness ‘Atonement’ has created. The track as a whole is much slower and groovy compared to much of the rest but still holds the same brutality.Immolation have never released a bad album. Sure, not all their albums are essential listening, and some are less-brilliant than others, but never have Immolation had a ‘St Anger’ moment. ‘Atonement’ continues that trend of consistency, and then some. Dissonant and desolate, savage and sinister, ‘Atonement’ stands as a near-perfect example of aural brutality that would rival the very best of Immolation’s work.
