Artist: IMMOLATION
Album: BRINGING DOWN THE WORLD (DVD)

Release date: 2004
Media type: DVD

IMMOLATION has been established in the extreme metal genre for well over a decade. From the release of their first "Dawn of Possession", in 1991 on Roadrunner Records, the band became a cult classic and has continued to progress steadily and strongly for well over a decade. Their unique style and unorthodox approach to music is evident throughout their entire discography and has solidified the group as one of the leaders in the underground metal world.

With a more straight-forward approach and an evident maturity in their music, "Shadows In The Light" is IMMOLATION's most defining moment. Driven heavily by a dark militant feel, the album literally crushes everything in its path! From a violent menacing fury to somber tones of dissonance, "Shadows In The Light" is powerful, innovative and well orchestrated. With a tight, larger than life sound and a dominating overtone the listener is quickly cast into a new dimension. Rigid soulful rhythms, pounding thunderous drums, commanding vocals and smooth melodic leads make up this audible depiction of hell on earth as seen through the eyes of their author. Forget what you have ever been taught about extreme metal, because IMMOLATION breaks all the rules here. Out of the ordinary composition and well thought out lyrics intertwine and make the music come to life in a way that you can almost visualize. With out a doubt the bands best work to date.

With a sense of havoc that is both controlled and calculating, IMMOLATION have truly outdone and reinvented themselves once again to create their most superb and unique sounding record ever! Staying close to their roots, yet still progressing beyond all expectation is truly becoming this bands forte. Together with a long road of experience under their belts, IMMOLATION continues to be a true pioneer in extreme metal and "Shadows In The Light" proves it!
