CURRENTLY ON THEIR SPRING NORTH AMERICAN TOUR

New York death metal icons IMMOLATION have unleashed their twelfth studio album, Descent. This monumental release arrives on the eve of the band’s North American takeover.

To commemorate their new release, the band has unleashed their latest single, ‘Bend Towards The Dark.’ The track is a sonic assault, fusing the band’s trademark sound with menacing leads and a barrage of merciless blasts.

IMMOLATION comments: “We are excited to get one more single out as our new album DESCENT is finally released! “Bend Towards The Dark” is definitely one of the more ambitious tracks of the record.  It has just about every element you would expect from IMMOLATION, but takes things a bit further. It’s intense and heavy, yet becomes very epic and almost orchestral at times, really embodying a lot of feeling and emotion throughout. We really look forward to having ‘Bend Towards The Dark’ out there to ignite the release of DESCENT! We hope everyone enjoys it!”

Descent was captured across two locations: Justin Passamonte tracked guitars, bass, and vocals at Jpass Music, while drums wererecorded at Mercinary Studios with Noah Buchanan. The production was a collaborative effort between the band and long-time engineer Zack Ohren, who also handled the mixing and mastering. The result is a muscular, high-fidelity production that captures the band’s most fiery and brooding moments with equal clarity. To call Descent “heavy” or “brutal” is an understatement; this is death metal with a unique, elevated voice that stands entirely alone.

Visually, the band has once again tapped Eliran Kantor to craft a haunting cover masterpiece—a true hallmark of the Immolation aesthetic— complemented by Santiago Jaramillo’s (Triple Seis Design) internal booklet illustrations. With this release, IMMOLATION reinforces their status as one of the most enduring and vital forces in the genre.

IMMOLATION is:
Ross Dolan | Bass/Vocals
Robert Vigna | Guitar
Steve Shalaty | Drums
Alex Bouks | Guitar
