IMMOLATION has been established in the extreme metal genre for well over a decade. From the release of their first "Dawn of Possession", in 1991 on Roadrunner Records, the band became a cult classic and has continued to progress steadily and strongly for well over a decade. Their unique style and unorthodox approach to music is evident throughout their entire discography and has solidified the group as one of the leaders in the underground metal world.
With a more straight-forward approach and an evident maturity in their music, "Hope and horror" is IMMOLATION's most defining moment. Driven heavily by a dark militant feel, the album literally crushes everything in its path! From a violent menacing fury to somber tones of dissonance, "Hope and horror" is powerful, innovative and well orchestrated. With a tight, larger than life sound and a dominating overtone the listener is quickly cast into a new dimension. Rigid soulful rhythms, pounding thunderous drums, commanding vocals and smooth melodic leads make up this audible depiction of hell on earth as seen through the eyes of their author. Forget what you have ever been taught about extreme metal, because IMMOLATION break all the rules here.
Out of the ordinary composition and well thought out lyrics intertwine and make the music come to life in a way that you can almost visualize. With out a doubt the bands best work to date, and as well the bands first official EP release featuring the very first instrumental song ever written by IMMOLATION. The DVD part included was shot in the legendary BB king club by Evil Eye productions with multiple cameras and catches the fury, intensity and precision these occult death metal leaders are known for. Witness a full set based mostly on the bands previous & highly acclaimed fullength effort 'Harnessing Ruin', this bonus DVD makes the release of 'Hope and horror' an item not to miss by both old and new fans of this unparalelled monument in extreme music which is called IMMOLATION! Live the battle between Hope and Horror now !!!!
