Nothing is left; nothing is gained

Abusing the Earth, its coming apart.

New York Death Metal stalwarts Immolation will cruelly wrest you from your mundane, daily existence and fucking crush you. Had the pleasure of catching these guys back in February with the very excellent Texan (not to be messed with) group Averse Sefira, amongst others. While released last summer, their newest effort "Shadows in the Light" is still on constant rotation. Very complex, dissonant guitar riffing afoot; spot on vocals, all without ever loosing their trademark--and very listenable, groove.

Further, they are playing in a cave that is fully equipped with strobe lights in their latest video.

I however, do not feel obliged to admit this, and moreover feel that if you do not feel Immolated (that's a good thing) after watching said cave-laden strobe light video...

Well mister, you can just leave the hall.

Oh sure, maybe they can immolate you in their Dark Cave of Strobe Light, but are they bad enough to lead the Soviet Red Army Chorus in a patriotic round of Sweet Home Alabama? Well The Leningrad Cowboys are.
