History

Immolation play death metal built on dissonance: twisting, angular riffs, unusual chord shapes and drumming that shifts tempo constantly, all under a deep, steady growl. The band grew out of Rigor Mortis, formed in Yonkers, New York, in 1986 with guitarist Robert Vigna; when Ross Dolan joined on bass and vocals in 1988 the name changed to Immolation. Demos in 1988 and 1989 gave them an international underground following, and Roadrunner released the debut Dawn of Possession in 1991. Alongside Suffocation, Incantation and Mortician they are counted among the leaders of the New York death metal scene. Vigna's guitar writing is the heart of the sound: riffs that bend and unravel rather than chug, with an eerie, almost choral darkness. Close to a World Below in 2000 is often cited as a high point, and records such as Majesty and Decay in 2010 showed the band still refining the same approach decades on, with Vigna and Dolan as the constant core. A listener recognises Immolation by that disorienting, dissonant guitar work and the slow-building sense of dread.
