Immolation - Acts of God (2022)

Chugging through fifteen tracks of traditional Death Metal, today we have the legendary Immolation and their eleventh full-length release “Actos of God”. Always keeping things interesting and brutal, the nearly one hour of music unleashed in this release perfectly captures the band’s signature sound while keeping things fresh and engaging.

Ross Dolan and Robert Vigna have been unleashing crafty Death Metal songs for over two decades and with “Acts of God” they show the band is not slowing down or have fallen behind the times. Pieces like the crushing “An Act of God”, “Nose of Thorns”, to the massive “Immortal Stain” are perfect examples of experiences, timelessness and viciousness, delivering piercing guitar riffs and masterfully crafted drums.

Being pillars of the NYC Death Metal scene, has allowed the band to influence countless others and what makes them standout is their efforts in never settling and incorporating different influences and keeping things fresh as we hear on songs like “Broken Prey” and its dramatic guitar leads, to the very traditional and pummeling nature of “When Halos Burn” and its blistering drumming.

With every track having plenty of tradition blended with viciousness, on top of a masterful production, “Acts of God” is one of the finest and most savage Death Metal releases in the last few years. Far from being ‘more of the same’, this release shows Immolation in tip-top shape delivering some of their best music to date.
