New York death metal titans Immolation are charging into 2026 at full throttle with two massive tours and the announcement of their highly anticipated twelfth studio album, Descent, arriving April 10th via Nuclear Blast Records. Ever since their landmark 1991 debut, Dawn of Possession, the band has set an unwavering standard for innovation, influencing generations of extreme metal worldwide. Their sound remains singular, driven by Bob Vigna’s signature fretwork – a masterclass of soaring leads and haunting, atmospheric dirges. Pre-orders are live at the links below!

Experience the first taste of the devastation with their new single ‘Adversary’ – a crushing blend of blast beats, intimidating leads, and cavernous vocals. Defined by merciless percussion, dissonant riffing, and Ross Dolan’s commanding growls, the track is a monumental display of the band’s enduring power.
Immolation comments: “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’!”
