Yonkers, New York-based death metal group Immolation have filmed a music video for the track ‘Rise The Heretics’. Directed by Robert Vigna, the clip can be viewed below.
The band commented: “We want to thank all our fans for their tremendous support and patience during the last few years. We have one last offering from the Atonement album that we would like to share with everyone before we begin the next chapter for Immolation. We have more news on the way and look forward to seeing everyone again real soon!”
Immolation issued tenth full-length studio album Atonement on February 24th, 2017 through Nuclear Blast Records.
Atonement was recorded at Millbrook Sound Studios in Millbrook, New York with longtime producer Paul Orofino, and mixed and mastered once again by Zack Ohren. The front cover artwork was created by Swedish artist Pär Olofsson, along with additional artwork by Zbigniew Bielak.
Frontman Ross Dolan stated: “We are excited that everyone will finally get a preview of what the new record has to offer. Atonement is a very dark and haunting album both musically and lyrically, commenting on the darker side of humanity and the world today. Each song on this album is unique in its own way, offering the listener a wide range of dark and sinister passages that I think really hone in on all the elements that make this band what it is.
“The sound of this record is exactly what we were hoping for, and we feel the production really gives these songs that massive sound and dark sinister feel they needed. Zack and Paul really nailed it with this one and made our tenth album our best sounding record to date. We are all very proud of what we have created here, and we hope everyone else will enjoy these 11 songs as much as we think they will.
“The song ‘Atonement’ is about that blind fury and destructiveness of religious extremism regardless of where it comes from and under what religious banner it flies. The cover piece was inspired by a passage of lyrics from this song, and Pär managed to create a visual for those four lines that just blew us away. So needless to say, we are very pleased with the overall look and feel of the album, which also includes four amazing pieces of artwork done by the extremely talented Zbigniew Bielak.”
