IMMOLATION - Art and the creative process behind it.

IMMOLATION remain one of the most consistent death metal bands on the planet. Their album artwork, and lyrical themes have depicted the battle between good and evil from the start, and their album covers have been painted by some of the best artists around. Stalwarts of the New York death metal scene for over 35 years, Immolation continues to age like fine wine, with their latest offering Acts of God with an incredible cover by Eliran Kantor is a masterpiece.
In this interview they discuss their creative process, how involved they get in the artwork, and share a few of their all time favorite covers and love for Iron Maiden!

One of my favorite DM bands. Their whole discography is good. They're among the elite of death metal.

[@theartofheavymetal]

Indeed!

[@Jelisize]

My favorite band in life! They are so awesome! ❤

[@Kalsarikannit72]

Sure

[@bpf2019]

They still haven't put out a bad record after all these years!

[@e.9328]

Brilliant interview & video with one of the greatest bands!

[@theartofheavymetal]

Thanks for watching! Definitely one of the most consistently solid bands for decades, and all such nice guys 🔥

[@PuddlesOfGore]

God damn this channel is great.

[@theartofheavymetal]

Hey thanks for stopping by. We've only just begun 🚀

[@biorythmicshifter]

Along with Cannibal Corpse this is the most consistent death metal out there, they never released a shit album. There was an interviewer about 20 years ago that once said Bob’s riffs sound like he’s stabbing angels…I couldn’t agree more.

[@theartofheavymetal]

I’m sure Bob would think of that as a great complement!

[@christianeasley767]

OUCH!!!!!!!!😮😊❤😂

[@LosPompadores]

I saw these guys live in Belgium somewhere around 91,92 I guess, after the Dawn Of Possession release. We did a lot of stage diving that day. Great guys. Ross wore a nice white shirt on stage 😁

[@alc4117]

Andreas and Eliran are the perfect artist for the kind of death metal immolation plays. Although majesty and decays is one of their best covers

[@christopherali1552]

this was awesome

[@anthonysuski9248]

Awesome!!! 😎 👍

[@SarahAParis]

My favorite Death Metal band!🤘🔥🔥🔥🤘I love it when I get the notification that Immolation is coming to Seattle..I get online to order tickets so fast you'd think my hair is on fire.

[@thedissonant]

It´s a sheer joy to see these great guys reminiscing. "Here in after" marked the time they became a solid part of my life.

[@marksaidso]

this is insane. amazing great work im floored wow 🔊

[@davidr1615]

Immolation is a sick band love this 🤘🏼💀

[@christianeasley767]

That’s how we roll in YONKERS!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@mikedegrazia]

Where my dogs at?!

[@philcollinshill2951]

Y'know

[@hugosex]

Their music is made to actually LISTEN to

[@mikewalnoha8971]

As opposed to music that is made NOT to listen to?

[@thehatefulraven]

They dress so casual and talk very mild mannered like they have nothing to prove, their music proves it all for them.

[@Draugluin999]

bob ross 🔥🔥

[@user-hw9cj2nu5f]

that thumbnail, Ross looks like Robin Williams in HOOK

[@theartofheavymetal]

“I’m not a pirate. It just so happens I’m a master of METAL!”

[@user-hw9cj2nu5f]

@@theartofheavymetal ALL HAIL IMMOLATION!!!! I saw you guys last night in OKC with Cattle Decapitation and Castrator. Thank you guys so much for stopping in and blasting my face off!!

[@marcogranja7152]

Aaaaaaaarrrgggghhhhttttttt!!!! Mark

[@Hell-Awaits]

One thing that I've never understood about Immolation it's why they haven't used their logo in ALL their albums when they have one of the best and most iconic logos in death metal history. Aside that, always love them since their first demos until now.

[@theartofheavymetal]

Agreed! It’s funny how the turn of the century brought a whole new wave of cleaner band logos, In Flames, Enslaved, probably more I can’t think of! Glad Immolation have gone back to the original, it rocks.

[@bboss8048]

you know

[@wafflemanofficial3130]

You know

[@vargvolknor6665]

Immolation.........you love them for tbeir art. Image means nothing with this band. Maybe Ross's hair haha

[@StarsDie88]

Just never go down the AI route! Keep using real artists cuz your album covers are awesome.
