On April 10th, New York's Immolation return with another standout death metal record, Descent, to be released via Nuclear Blast Records. A striking Eliran Kantor painting can be found on the forefront, one that excels at introducing this thrill ride of a composition that opens strongly with the HEAVY lead single, Adversary. There are no gimmicks, no forced elements or attempts at sounding "different" here, just death metal the way it was meant to be played.

Immolation comment on the announcement:

"We are really excited to release ‘Descent’ this year. The vibe and feel of this new one is almost addictive. We couldn’t be happier with how it came out and we can’t wait for everyone to hear it! This album takes what we’ve done on the last couple of records and truly brings it to a new level. The material stays true to our roots, but also goes into some new territory at times, being somewhat ambitious, but taking nods from even our earliest moments. We always strive to create interesting songs, and I believe we have achieved that on every track here. It’s truly one of the best records we’ve done, with an amazing production, atmosphere and flow. We look forward to playing it all live for you soon! Enjoy the 'Descent'!"
