by Adam Weishaupt (02.03.2010) Next year, Immolation will celebrate their 25th anniversary - if you include the early days with Rigor Mortis. That means the Death Metal quartet from New York is the most senior combo of that genre. Which is just as awell - because even on their eighth studio album, Immolation just do their very own thing, not succumbing to any frills or influences. You'll get the full and brutal treatment, plus the inimitable growling sounds of singer-cum-bassist Ross Dolan whose deep voice sits on top of the 12 tracks. "Majesty and decay" conjures up a wonderfully depressing and morbid atmosphere sending shivers down your spine, especially when drifting into the realm of doom and overwhelming you with mighty "A glorious epoch" or shattering "The comfort of cowards". If you compare the new album to their last outputs, Immolation haven't changed that much musically - but at least, they have stayed true to themselves, so the fans get exactly what they expect.
