Close to a World Below. Silent is the storm that awaits As our crumbling world starts to give way Falling around us a new kingdom rises Billions of souls sinking and sinking. A world of pain A world too blind to see A world of judgments. A world of corrupted lives A world destroying itself ahead of its time A world of lust. A world of greed A world with no hope

Band Name Immolation. Album Name Close to a World Below. Immolation are veterans of the death metal industry, releasing solid and generally magnificent death metals since their ferocious debut Dawn of Possession in 1991. They’ve refined their brutal technical and unwavering blasphemy spewing music into something we can rely on. Unfortunately, I feel they can be regarded as rather underrated, even though they rarely put a foot wrong musically.

The name IMMOLATION and its logo are registered trademarks.

While Immolation's "Close to a World Below" is a deservedly legendary and highly influential DM album, it still maintains a distinct flavor rare to such significant releases. While the album has surely influenced countless tech-death bands in their use of dissonance and ragged structure, few have had the courage to take the ideas to their absolute limit in the way Immolation have here. Most metal, and surely virtually all tech-death, has remained totally centered on the riff, while Immolation takes a purer, more holistic approach.

On their fourth full-length album, Close to a World Below, they find a late career voice. While time signatures remain elusive and chord voicings remain convoluted, the total number of riffs per song is significantly reduced. While individual parts have more breathing room, the overall effect is significantly more suffocating. Lurching, percussive passages intimidate and horrify, and dissonant chords create a thick sonic fog. The combination of dissonance, doomy passages, and bizarre guitar techniques treads into the same otherworldly territory Gorguts mapped out on 1998's Obscura
