Immolation is an American Death Metal band. Characterized by their instantly recognizable blend of creepy dissonant chords and pinch harmonics, mind-bogglingly complex drum patterns, and the trademark roar of Ross Dolan, they have worked their way into being one of the biggest names in death metal.Formed in Yonkers, New York in 1986 under the name of Rigor Mortis by Andrew Sakowicz (vocals, bass), and Dave Wilkinson (drums), the early installment of the band released a few demos before changing their name to Immolation in 1988. The initial lineup of this new iteration was Ross Dolan (vocals, bass), Robert "Bob" Vigna and Tom Wilkinson (guitars), and Neal Boback (drums); after a pair of demos, Boback left the following year and was replaced by Craig Smilowski, creating the lineup that would go on to release Dawn of Possession in 1991 to rave reviews and a great deal of attention. For various reasons (primarily their unceremonious ejection from Roadrunner), however, five years came and went with no real progress beyond a demo compilation until a deal was inked with Metal Blade Records that resulted in the release of Here in After in 1996, though Smilowski was ejected sometime around then as well due to his habit of crashing on Vigna's couch for weeks at a time without paying rent, and Alex Hernandez was soon hired as his replacement. Failures for Gods followed in 1999, along with Close to a World Below in 2000. Wilkinson left the following year and was quickly replaced by Bill Taylor of Angelcorpse and Acheron fame, and with that, the Unholy Cult lineup was born. Hernandez, in turn, left the following year and was replaced by Steve Shalaty, with a live DVD soon following and Harnessing Ruin coming out in 2005. Things have stayed quite solid since then, with a steady array of quality albums and tours having taken place, and it seems clear that things will stay that way for the foreseeable future. Indeed, literally the only major change was in 2016, when Taylor left and was replaced by Alex Bouks.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); }) | |

| Immolation (Music) / int_4f40039e | comment |
All Drummers Are Animals: Craig Smilowski and Alex Hernandez were both known for their aggressive and powerful playing styles. Subverted with Steve Shalaty, who is a far more relaxed and subtle player (more than likely owing to his jazz background). | |

Badass Driver: Ross Dolan works as a truck driver for his day job and once managed to bail Nile out when their own bus driver ran off mid-tour, as his CDL class also allowed him to drive buses. | |

Ascended Extra: Alex Bouks was a longtime friend of the band who was already known for his work in Goreaphobia and Incantation well before he replaced Bill Taylor. | |

Big Applesauce: Not from NYC, but they've played enough shows there to more or less be accepted as part of the city's metal scene. Also, there's Dolan's frequently-joked-about Noo Yawk accent. | |
