	Immolation - Technical Death Metal
		On their first album, Immolation can be seen making the transition from the straightforward death metal of their demo to a new and technical style within the advancements the death metal genre was to make in the early 1990s, seen most prominently on the newer songs on the first half of this release.
		The strength of this iteration of the music of Immolation is as always in the inventiveness of riff construction and imagination to match concept to content, rare attributes in any genre especially valued and needed in death metal at this time.
		As musicians, they have matured upward from the plateau found on their second album, and on this, the differences are subtle: a fine understanding of the emotions wrought from different types of melody, a detailed understanding of pace in the context of their traditional tugging and rebounding rhythm, a clear-sighted sequence of introduction of ideas.

	Immolation (band) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		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.
		However, this is not because he is a fan of the band, rather, because of the words "First in Hell" on the back, which reflect his religious beliefs, as he is a member of the Church of Satan.

	METALLIAN - Immolation
		Odd signatures, chaotic melodies, disharmonic riffs and complex arrangements all whirling in a maelstrom of death and destruction...that is Immolation.
		Not that an Immolation album is frequently cause for disappointment or derision, but the new album of New York's veteran deliverers of death and doom has really gone all-out in branding the bands as true and loyal subjects of death metal.
		The band's renowned technicality is here in all its complex glory, yet the quartet has riffs that lure and fascinate and often drift into Incantation territory.

		The band, at this time, were preparing for their upcoming US tour w/Deicide, Skinless etc. I wanted to speak with Immolation because I have often wondered how it is that they come up with such twisted tunes and make them sound good.
		Immolation has been doing this for a long time, since 1988, to be exact.
		Immolation have a distinctive, inimitable sound that is characterized by songs that do not sound melodic in the typical sense, but somehow the music, while dark and brooding, is memorable.

	Immolation - Satan Stole My Teddybear
		Come to think of it, the fact that I listen to Immolation probably is enough to damn me, as these men aren't exactly the kind who want you to read the Watchtower Bible, at least not without a broad, mocking grin on your face.
		Immolation have kept their style of truly vicious, dark death metal intact and are still basing their songs on killer, mean-sounding riffs.
		Immolation haven't gone completely mad like Gorguts, but manage to keep a certain openness to their sound that I think might even attract people who generally aren't fans of the genre, while also forcing death metal fans to put on bibs before pressing "play".

	KNAC.COM - Headbangers - Immolation, Grave, Goatwhore Live in Seattle (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		The band was tight as hell and frontman Ben Falgoust connected well with the audience, mostly due to his highly animated gesturing and angry god-hating voice.
		The band brought the temperature inside the venue up to easily over 100 degrees and the humidity was very high due to all the sweat.
		Immolation has definitely developed a style of their own over the past decade or so and hasn’t strayed far from it; when one sees them live the can always expect a set of blasphemous and heavy death metal that pulls no punches and leaves everyone with a sore neck.

	Immolation - Here In After Review - sputnikmusic
		A thing that makes this band a bit unique is the half-crazy riffage which is used in their music, the guitar work does not have this kind of ''repeated riffs'' which some bands has.
		This band is a mix of 70% standard, old-school death-metal added with 20% of Meshuggah-complexity and 10% of self-invented madness, thats the way I would describe this band.
		The overall musicianship was very good, the band didn't deliver then same ''porducts'' all the time, they had a very good range in their material, one of the better death-metal bands I have heard yet.

		And not only is it the band’s perseverance that keeps the fans coming back for more, but the fact that with each release this band continues to strengthen itself, pushing the limits harder and farther to defy all known musical boundaries for Death/Black metal and beyond.
		The band is IMMOLATION and with the release of their most anticipated album yet, “Unholy Cult”, they will undoubtedly cast their ominous shadow over the masses and keep them forever dark.
		As IMMOLATION continued throughout the years with such releases as “Here In After” (MetalBlade ’96) and “Failures For Gods” (MetalBlade ’99), they were developing not only their musical capabilities and signature style, but also becoming one of the most intense live acts in the industry.

		These days, bands that include that kind of thing simply date themselves and demonstrate that they are unable to evolve (which was proved wrong in this case, since their follow-up release of "Unholy Cult" is definitely an evolutionary step for Immolation).
		Immolation is also a second-rate clone to Suffocation, an even better Death Metal band that helped define what technicality in Death Metal is all about.
		This band is and will always be one of my most pick deathmetal acts because their music is realy powerfull and realy dark with good lirycs to follow along the music.

	Immolation
		The band released its debut album, "Dawn Of Possession" on Roadrunner records in 91, becoming an instant classic in the genre with it's heavy haunting sound and unforgettable hymns.
		Although the band toured and even reached new areas untouched by this style of music at the time, they found themselves amidst an explosion of a scene saturated with hundreds of clones and countless albums of poor music, causing new interest in death metal to subside.
		The band now not only proved that death/fl metal was able to survive the long haul, but that it can also be fresh and multi dimensional as well.

		It’s hard to believe that this band has been around for over a decade with only five albums, three of which were released in the span of almost four years.
		Immolation’s style of death metal is so difficult to describe because there’s really nothing to compare it to.
		There are few bands I can listen to and get chills from, but the veteran act from New York is always there to haunt me with the demons of music.

	Immolation - Close to a World Below
		Review: Immolation overdrive their style of extreme and nihilistic death metal by bringing intense rhythmic aggression and psychotic abstract melody together in a furious impact of alienation.
		Deconstructive urges in the tugging, descending spirals of rhythmic breakdown that are the classic emblem of Immolation's riffing combine with melodic phrases that use oblique harmonies to silhouette central themes to the music.
		Offtime riff placement and interludes of blast beat sequences move larger structures within each song pattern, driving toward a conclusion in the same melodic voice that was seemingly divergent earlier in the song.

	Immolation - Unholy Cult Review - sputnikmusic
		This band might be considered as a regular death-metal band for those who are not familiar to death-metal, but if you are a big death-metal fan you can hear that this band does have some special and/or unique features.
		This band plays death-metal in old-school formula, the vocals are dark growls, the drum patterns are often very intense and the guitar work is often energetic and frantic.
		This band might not be a critical band in the death-metal genre but this is one of the best death-metal bands that I have heard.

		So it's no wonder that so many death metal bands sound familiar: You could scour the CD bins, pull out five albums, and not be able to distinguish any of them.
		It takes a truly talented and unrelenting band to maintain a perfect combination of brutality and inimitablility.
		Many bands fizzle out after a few years, their creative spark all but gone.

	Blistering.com :: Music :: Reviews :: Immolation - Unholy Cult
		Roadrunner Records, Immolation still carries no more than a "cult" following [as is indicated by this album's title] is a bitter testament to the fickleness and impatience of what is supposed to be a dedicated metal crowd.
		This band is the embodiment of everything that remains virtuous and forward-thinking in a death metal scene that struggles to stay afloat while being dragged down by an ever-growing throng of useless "worship" bands.
		They are one of an elite handful of death metal bands [along with Gorguts, The Chasm, Nile and Behemoth] that possesses the elusive trifecta of having their own trademark style, quality songwriting and a great sense of atmosphere.

	Immolation
		"Immolation" is a death metal band from Yonkers, New York.
		The name was changed to Immolation in April 1988, after the "Warriors of Doom" demo which was done as Rigor Mortis and "Demo I" which was done as Immolation.
		Immolation relies on riffs written in dissonant harmonic patterns, often dueling between the two guitars, to progress songs, typically over a complex rhythm and complex drum patterns.

	Teufel's Tomb : Brutal Isn't Just A Way Of Life... It's Also Stupid!
		The Immolation sound and approach is completely intact, if you'd heard any of their previous albums, then heard a single riff from Unholy Cult you'd instantly recognize it as being by Immolation.
		This is by far the best death metal album of 2002 created by the single best band in all of death metal.
		No one can compare to Immolation, they're one of the most technical bands around, and they play the darkest metal and do things with their instruments that seem unnatural and impossible.

	UNRESTRAINED! Magazine - Issue 27 OUT NOW!!
		Unlike some bands who go out to make a certain type of record, or record it a certain way, we just go out and make music that we feel passionate about and not worry how it turns out.
		Each effort sees the band moving forward in creativity and bringing along with themselves an ever-growing fanbase, yet still the band has not really experienced any kind of hype or mega-star status.
		Sure we've been around for a long time and when a band comes out of left field and all of a sudden there is a lot of hype it does get frustrating, but these bands are just that: hype.

		I was very excited to hear Unholy Cult, because the boys in Immolation assured the world that Unholy Cult would be the best recording to date.
		Since every single band says this about their upcoming album since the beginning of album promotion, I knew that Immolation wouldn’t just say this; they meant it.

	THE METAL OBSERVER - Review - IMMOLATION - Close To A World Below
		Even though IMMOLATION began their career around the same time as country-mates SUFFOCATION, MORBID ANGEL and CANNIBAL CORPSE and they play something that can also be described as Brutal Death Metal; their approach to songwriting is totally different from those aforementioned bands.
		This has allowed IMMOLATION to be one of the more unique bands currently in the extreme Metal scene, yet can also be one of the gateway bands to the more brutal stuff out there.
		The one band that can be compared stylistically to these guys is GORGUTS (latter-day), but IMMOLATION is far more focused and direct.

		However, on their latest release, Harnessing Ruin, Immolation sound like they are playing it safe.
		They have stayed around so long because they are continually improving their base sound without alienating their older fans.
		Immolation has never been that technical, brutal, or even that melodic compared to their peers.

		However here is one picture of the band that I managed to capture before the conclusion of their set.
		Not say that the band did not put on a good show, because they did, it is just a shame that the venue was practically empty by the time the band took the stage at around 9:00 pm.
		This band is comfortable taking a walk on the dark side as they cite bands like Cryptopsy, Kalmah, Cult of Luna, Morbid Angel, and Deicide as some of their influences.

		They are a band you really have to pay attention too while listening to their music.
		I was also one of those who fretted over the band's disappearence from the scene due to label and financial woes, and in due turn was one of those vindicated when the band returned with Here in After (which was, undoubtedly, a unparalleled high point in death metal history).
		As is evident with the vicious lyrics, gutteral vocals, relentless percussion and omnious, sadistic guitars, Immolation know why this kind of music got its name, yet their distinctive creativity and passionate sense of vindictiveness give them a stamp of authenticity and credablity that is unmatched in the current metal scene.
