With eight albums to their name and the respect of the death metal genre, Immolation have now been ploughing their way forward for over twenty years. Providence is a new release in celebration of this milestone. Much in the same fashion as Immolation's twenty year history, Providence comes to us without any big fuss or overblown estimations; Providence is for the core of fans, the unholy cult themselves.

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.
