speaking of immolation...favorite song?

[Chad]

listen to how the structure of the song mirrors the internal riffs...then add in the drum fills...this is an amazing song...clearly my favorite Immolation song...

[Necrometer]

Maybe I Feel Nothing? This is a tough one, Chadwick!

[valgalder]

maybe?

[Whee of the Dead]

Fuck...

[The Seventh Son]

Swarm of Terror. Father, You're not a Father, I feel Nothing, and Fall From a High Place are pretty up there too.

The ending alone of Fall From A High Place is fucking

[pleasuretokill]

Not sure if this is my favorite or not, but it's up there. It's in constant rotation on my mp3 player at the gym

SPOILERSPOILER_SHOW

there's more good riffs in this song alone, than there are on the last 5 records combined

[spacehamster]

Close to a World Below. Even though it's kind of a rehash of Those Left Behind. The whole album is the pinnacle of Immolation's discography to me, and the title track is the best thing on the album, so... yeah. They have tons of good shit on the first five, but this is actually a really easy choice for me.

So many...

"Rival The Eminent" makes me want to punch babies.

Strong, strong choice. Probably my fave off that album.

So not true! This is in my top five maybe three...

[Chad]

the only possibly runner up I'd submit is the title track from Here in After... it seriously makes me think we'll all suffer one day for these sins...the entire track just reeks suffering and denial of everything you know...then you find out its a lyrical tribute to Hell...



Alone
Without warmth
Without light
But how do I see in this darkness
Death feeds upon me
The condemned under my feet
Eternity has passed us by

Everyone is here
The ones I've loved and hated
All of us in pain... together

In a timeless void of anguish
Where sorrow is like breathing
and with every breath I hurt more and more

The fallen and trampled
Damned to spend eternity here

Constant burning souls
In a sea of writhing flesh
Endless plains
Of sin and deprivation

Those of wealth and might, of humble and weak
Those who gave way to uphold God's will
He who has conquered and he who has failed
The wicked and the holy in utter desolation
In this absence of being, misery consumes
Existing not living, I am dead yet AI feel in total seclusion
I am left to ponder the empty promises of your shallow God

The sounds of anguish... so loud
Their sobbing... like thunder
Pierces through me... and crushed me
Again... and again... and again

So vast this pain
More unbearable it becomes
With every passing moment
I pray for an end

In a timeless void of anguish
Where sorrow is like breathing
And with every breath I hurt more and more

I think at least one of the guys in Immolation is secret-christian...tasting the dark side while knowing the truth...you can tell in their lyrics...its blasphemy with a twist

[cold radiance]

Something off of the first two albums. Those Left Behind, if nothing else...I really like the demo version of Burial Ground.

Bob and Ross are bitter ex-catholic school boys.

great choice, absolutely relentless song. the solo is like a swarm of bees inside your brain.

[Burpcore the GRIM]

Fuuuuuuuck... Man, there are so great ones to choose from. I'm just gonna throw this out there. After all these years, that intro still makes the stubble on my head stand up.



The divebomb at the 1:20 mark always sounded like something horribly destructive plummeting from the sky to me.

[Natas]

Christ's Cage i guess

I've been mocked here for posting those lyrics as a great example of what you're describing... but I'd do it again. Bravo.

[pooptastik]

this is so fucking hard but i'll temporarily choose UNSAVED because i've been all about it recently. Here In After and Failures for Gods contain all my favorite songs from the band. the grooves, time changes, riffs, nigger beats and lyrics...FUCK.


Shining with hues of magnificent splendor
Leading the way, revere him
The righteous, the saved
hand in hand, poised in rapture
Blissful delusion, believe in forever
Choirs of angels strike chords of transgression

How you are like your savior
With souls impure and vile
Rescued from our presence
your fall will be divine
Behold, the days of righteousness are coming
For wicked are the hearts of men and gods
Cleanse yourselves, step out of the light

Purge me of Christ...empowered, unsaved
Humble before him...the price for their saving

Don't pray for my soul for I'll rise above you
My hatred is my strength and through this I'll conquer
The fear and the weakness I see in your eyes

Touched by the divine
They hide in the light
Adorn me with his crown
