Top ten albums of 2017 #9 Immolation "atonement" I will forever have a soft spot for death metal. Not hardcore posing as death metal or thrashy grind metal pretending to be death metal. I love thick and juicy death metal. Immolation have been doing this shit since 1991 with nary a misstep. Their recipe for music has stayed true, it has just been built into a monstrously awesome version of what they started twenty six years ago. The vocals sound like tectonic plates grinding against each other and atonal technical guitar sweeps drip off of pummeling rhythms. Hearing this album plasters a chinful grimace on my mug and rejuvenates my adolescent love of everything this genre has to offer. You can find pretty awesome death metal albums being released all the time but there is something to be said about the perspective this band's discography offers. This album sounded really good to me this year, like catching up with a death obsessed old friend. #immolation
