Immolation is a venerable force in the death metal genre, hailing from Yonkers, New York. Formed in 1988, the band initially gained notoriety for their brooding style and relentless intensity, both of which have become hallmarks of their sound throughout a career spanning over three decades. Immolation's music is characterized by complex song structures, dark atmospheric elements, and thought-provoking lyrical themes that often confront religion and the human condition. This band has been consistent not just in lineup, with founding members Ross Dolan (vocals, bass) and Robert Vigna (guitar) at the core, but also in maintaining a high standard of artistry and influence in the extreme metal scene.

Their discography is an impressive testament to their evolution and influence on death metal, with a catalog that shows a progression in both technicality and production. Albums such as "Close to a World Below" (2000) and "Unholy Cult" (2002) garnered critical acclaim and solidified their reputation for delivering punishing and complex music. Immolation's more recent offerings, such as "Majesty and Decay" (2010), "Kingdom of Conspiracy" (2013), "Atonement" (2017), and their latest album "Acts of God" (2022), further showcase their ability to adapt and expand their sound while remaining true to the brutal essence of their origins. Their unwavering commitment to the genre has earned them a dedicated fan base and a revered spot among death metal's pantheon of greats.
