Biography

Yonkers, New York NY, United States (1986 – present)

Immolation is a 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 recorded 4 songs on the “Demo II” 1989 sessions, but only 3 were finally released: “Internal decadence”, “Burial Ground” and “Despondent Souls”. The remaining song is “Infectious Blood” (later re-named “Fall in Disease” on the “Dawn of Possession” Album). This song remained unavailable until the release of “Stepping on Angels…Before Dawn” CD.

In 1991, 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 progressive songs, typically over an complex rhythm and complex drum patterns.

    fymek: As with the guy not liking Failures despite liking everything else from that period, I don't really see how you could like Majesty and Providence but not this, because this is indeed like an amalgamation of the two.

    "A natural development from Majesty and Providence." - imo, it sounds like a bad child of Majesty and Providence...

    Kingdom of Conspiracy sounds brilliant! A natural development from Majesty and Providence. I even enjoy the drum production, although Shalaty's playing is genuinely machine-like which doesn't particularly please me, but doubtless it's the right way to go for a modern Immolation album. The drum sounds are unusual, but they work excellently due to the fact that they seem occupy different frequencies in the mix than the guitars and vocals. The drums are loud, the guitars are loud, the vocals are loud, and I can hear them all with nigh perfect clarity. Congratulations on creating yet another great album, Immolation!

    tbh, you don't seem like the sharpest tool in the shed either...btw, you should probably expand your musical horizons lol....oh and yes, regarding the new album....while not bad per se, it is a failure by Immolation standards and that's all that matters
