5.0 out of 5 stars A fine debut, April 21, 2003

First of all, Immolation is like no other death metal band you've heard before. They don't sound like Morbid Angel, Cannibal Corpse, or Suffocation. On here, they haven't yet developed their innovative style completely, especially the dissonant riffs and bizarre melodies, but the riffing is still innovative. Its kind of like Morbid Angel's Altars of Madness, an album where they hadn't yet reached their full potential, but still had enough integrity to make them rise above the rest of the bands in the genre.
There is a real emphasis on the low end, especially the vocals which are probably some of the lowest I've ever heard. A few weird riffs pop up here and there, but for the most part, the emphasis is on pure brutality, but done in a really classy way. Many bands have tried to copy Immolation's style, but very few have actually come close to doing it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Worthy death metal, January 16, 1999

This is probably the best first album I've heard from a death metal band since Suffocation's "Effigy..". The music is tight, fast, and chaotic. The rhythms aren't quite as intricate as Suffo, but the harmonies and lyrics are more interesting. Also, this album has some of my favorite cover art of all time. If you like death metal, buy this CD.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pure Chaos!!!!!!!, June 1, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Dawn of Possession (Audio CD)

This band, together with Suffocation, have the ability to beat the hell outa you!! They do it sonically!! Insane out of tempo (on purpose) drumming, no melody or harmony at all, guitars that create a wall of sound and vocals that sound like a friggin bear was growling. The album is very complex, they use whacked out false harmonics, relentless and very fast kick drumming to create the aural intensity of...who the hell knows? The deffinite highlight is the song "Those Left Behind", it makes you feel hate, depression, anger , rage and revenge!! A sort of muddy production aids in creating the caustic atmosphere tha Immo is. This is the ultimate death metal band (together with Suffo....but they called it quits) Purchase is MANDATORY
