Yonkers, New York NY, United States (1986 – present)
Immolation is a death metal band from Yonkers, New York. They were formed in 1986 as Rigor Mortis. The name was changed to Immolation in late 1987, between the “Warriors of Doom” demo which was done as Rigor Mortis and “Demo I” which was done as Immolation. The band got a deal with Roadrunner Records and released their debut album Dawn of Possession through them. They were dropped by the label when the label dropped nearly all of the death metal bands. Later, they were picked up by Metal Blade Records and released the three succeeding albums through them.
After the second one Here in After, drummer Craig Smilowski left the band and was replaced by Alex Hernandez who immediately boosted the technical proficiency of the band as a whole. The most recent two albums were released by Listenable Records. Unholy Cult saw the departure of guitarist Thomas Wilkinson. And Steve Shalaty replaced Hernandez on Harnessing Ruin.
Immolation relies on riffs written in dissonant harmonic patterns, often dueling between the two guitars, to progress songs, typically over an complex rhythm and complex drum patterns.

Does anyone know if they're going to be recording for a 2012 release? It's impossibly hard to find news about these guys.

@xXMiAsMa: Exactly. @JavySlay: Yeah, Who the hell wants money with making music, right? I guess, It must be cool to have a half time job.

They don't want money or "fame" though, they play and make music for us. They know this kind of Death Metal won't make you superstars and they don't care (and neither do we).

It's sad because these guys deserve to make money. Staying underground isn't a good thing for any band...only for their douchebag fanbase. These guys are lords of death metal, and they'll never pocket half of what a band like Godsmack has....that is most definitely a sad thing.
