Been reading lots of positive comments on this. Saying it's their best since Close In A World Below. Should be good.

idk that it's that good, but it's definitely better than Kingdom of Conspiracy. Definitely on the same tier with Majesty & Decay.

Very solid death metal. I don't what else to say since I don't listen to much classic death metal, but I like on Atonement is that there no gimmicky bullshit, like shredding for shredding's sake and senseless rhythmic bullshit. It rocks you without any of that.

This album is perfect, hands down. Couldnt believe they'ld release such crushing album after two lackluster albums (except the ep, the ep was great)

I gave this a 9 and it is deserved too. Immolation have pulled out one of the better Death Metal releases of the decade here. Cracking record.

Well, this Back Street Boy's fan believe it's a very repetitive album with some amazing riffs, but nothing more. Sorry for having such "lady like" music tastes.

1. This is not a Baby Metal post, so it doesn't make any sense to bring that up.

Only decent track is "Fostering The Divide" because of the interesting rhythmic play. Rest is pretty average DM.

This could be another-"it took off from 2nd half and slayed it through all along"-record. It started really well, moved along with some terrific tunes, build-ups and then started unleashing from "Lower". My other spins were rather focused on bottom half where I thought strength of the record reclined here.

Fostering The Divide isn't that great tbh, the technicality is nice but overall I like the parts where the playing is complex whilst still retaining the intensity which this record does in spades. Immolation's artillery still running smooth and devastating as ever.

Saw these guys last night at the Decibel Beer and Metal Fest in Philly (awesome event btw). They played a lot from this album, and the songs sound great live. Tight, cohesive band. I hope they come around again soon.

I don't hate Immolation but best death metal album of 2017? Seriously? Why does this generic stuff keep getting all the awards? Have you even heard of Deivos - Endemic Divine? or Firespawn - The Reporbate? even Hate's - Tremendum was better than this... and they weren't even on the list
