Excellent, amazing stuff. In case you have not been paying attention, this band has turned into a monster. Their previous “Unholy Cult” was amazing. This is true again. The guitar work, in my opinion, is really distinct. First of all, they avoid any melodic riffs\/clich\u00e9<\/strong>s. Instead, they do these contorted, distorted, twisting and winding riffs and it’s great. The sound envelopes and sucks you in from start to finish. The music has different layers so that it keeps you coming back for more. The vocals are really low and guttural, but pretty intelligible, if you really pay attention (ha!). The different speeds, from the blasting to doom parts, are very well put together. This band has been around a while. You may think you know them, thinking they are some of sort of second rate band. Think again, buddy. It’s time to reevaluate Immolation. Masterful.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
