A review by
Baz Anderson October 27, 2011
Consistently bulldozing their way forward through the metal underground, Immolation have only gotten better over the years. Last year's Majesty And Decay saw the band peak once more, and the material here on Providence is easily on the same tier. Crushing vocals, pulverizing guitars, an offensive assault of drums, Immolation once again provide everything you could expect and wish for.
Just under twenty minutes; five songs with no interludes or fillers, Providence is the perfect soundtrack to your next dinner break. Immolation don't mess about; while many could have opted for a mini-disc of demos or B-sides, these Americans offer five new and original pieces that would hold their own on any of their top albums. "What They Bring" and "Still Lost" especially are absolute tomes of brutality, that while celebrating the longevity of this great band also illustrate how much poorer the scene would be without them.

I love this album and think their use of unique sounds to enhance the depth of the music is masterful. This is quality death-metal that makes me intent on hearing the entire EP start to finish. Just so much power, heaviness, and complexity with a pace that's almost groovy. This is a perfect example of a band that's has talent, execution, and originality within their genre in spades. Bravo.

I'm a big fan of Immolation and I love their sound, but this is probably my least favorite release of theirs. I had negative thoughts about it after the video they released and sadly the rest of the songs didn't do anything to change my opinion. Probably a 6/10 from me, unfortunately. Although it is just an EP so I'm not overly concerned about their future.

Sounds great on the smaller Scion A/V LPs, even though it's mastered & mixed from a digital source (as with most records post-1991). I wish it was on Bandcamp for more exposure, awareness, and accessibly to everyone. I think this may be Ross Dolan's best vocal performance to date.
