Immolation

One of the United States' most influential death metal group's, Immolation formed in Yonkers, New York in 1986, and alongside fellow N.Y.C.-area extreme metal agitators Incantation, Mortician, and Suffocation, quickly rose to the fore of the scene. Led by guitarist Robert Vigna and vocalist/bassist Ross Dolan -- the band's sole constant members -- Immolation has racked up a string of heralded efforts, including Dawn of Possession (1991), Close to a World Below (2000), Unholy Cult (2002), and Atonement (2010), that skillfully balance raw power with technical prowess. The band issued their 11th studio LP, Acts of God, in 2022.
