Review: Immolation 'Acts of God' (death metal)

[@jason-budney7624]

Acts of God is just growing on me with every listen. The guitar work is incredible and unique with drumming that is out of this world (octopus on speed). This album isn't as "flashy" as Atonement, but it's just as good in a sneaky way, thanks to the added bottom end to the mix of the album.

Love the Death, Black and Extreme Metal reviews.

[@jondorsey2043]

I love to see you dip into the real hard metal. I love the channel and the proggy leanings but i forget that you guys appreciate the extreme edge of metal.

I still think the pinnacle is Unholy Cult. This is probably the best one to follow yet. The production is top notch especially in the drumming. The drum performance definitely improved with the extra time…banger of an album.

Been blasting this one! Great sound this time! It's crazy to think about how long they've been around and how they are still putting out stuff that pushes this hard!

Agree 100%. My favorite of the year in all Metal( so far). Saw them live last week. Blown away by this band. Run to go see them if you can. I don’t get bothered by their lyrics. They have gotten more anti - politics than anti Christian in last few years.

Death metal is not music usually of interest to me but will give this a listen, Pete. Thanks again for all the new product reviews. Each week always bring something new of interest.

I have been a fan of Immolation since "Dawn Of Possession" (my favorite). There's no stinker in their disco, but although this one rips you a new a-hole, It's like something is missing here. 8/10.

Album of the year so far!!! Can't wait to see them next week! Finally shows are coming back to Toronto!!!

[@greer776611]

First heard Incantation- they had "that" certain sound- other bands Drawn and Quartered- Father Befouled and of course Immolation- the most gifted musically have taken it to the next level!

[@christopherrobin7776]

All of the bands you listed I listen to. Yep---they have that quality of darkness and foreboding that is so powerful and impressive. I would also mention Mortem from Peru as well.

This is another great album from Immolation. These guys are the gold standard for death metal. One of the few bands that doesn't have a bad album.

[@rememberbeginning]

Been listening to the hell out of this one lately

[@mindful2864]

Immolation are just always consistent when it comes to death metal and this album is no different.

[@jameshuseby9931]

Thanks Pete for the metal reviews

[@davidburns6284]

Incredible album.

[@brandonbelt5055]

Yeah, I really dug this one, much more immediate than the new Voivod. I saw Immolation last weekend and they were great! They packed the house !

[@jondorsey2043]

Nice! Super jealous! We can go out to see metal shows now haha! My 46 years doesn't blunt my love of true death metal and i can't wait to get out to a show. Cheers.

[@brandonbelt5055]

@@jondorsey2043 ha! I LITERALLY just stumbled through the door from Priest and Queensryche! STELLAR SHOW! Unfortunately, now my plate is empty until Mastodon/Opeth in May, but it's been a fun couple of weeks!

[@jem550]

I agree that the new Immolation is killer but have you listened to the new Hath album. Holy crap, great stuff. The year is not even a third the way in and we have some great music so far. Great review.

[@jondorsey2043]

The heft and variation in tempo is what i love in my extreme metal. You've made me want to check it out. I haven't listened to Immolation in years.

[@chiragchittar4179]

Really good album! Haven't heard too many times but this already my favorite by them. It's very consistent but my only criticism would be that it has a bit too many songs. They really made the genre their own twitch the dizzying parts and the way they use dissonance. Ross is one of my favorite death metal vocalists as well. However as a band I am not the biggest fan but this is a very strong album

[@jimmyandersson59]

Such a great record. I Think its a Good contender for album of the year. :)

[@michaelfishman9555]

Just bought that Cd This band is grossly good.
