Propelled by the dissonant harmonic acrobatics of guitarist Robert Vigna and the subterranean growl and slashing rhythms of bassist/vocalist Ross Dolan, Immolation’s core duo not only created death metal landmarks but piloted the band through music industry pitfalls of dubious record contacts, sketchy agents and the mid-’90s commercial collapse of the subgenre they helped perfect—and never abandoned.
Into Everlasting Fire: The Official History of Immolation provides eyewitness accounts from ex-members, label owners, producers and fellow artists who were part of the band’s relentless climb to the top of the modern death metal landscape. Penned by longtime extreme metal journalist Kevin Stewart-Panko (Decibel, Terrorizer), and boasting stunning new art from legendary Immolation cover artist Andreas Marschall, Into Everlasting Fire is Immolation’s fully authorized, unprecedented look into the band’s career via countless in-depth interviews, studio recollections, harrowing and hilarious road stories and exclusive photos.
“We are very excited and extremely proud to announce Into Everlasting Fire,” says the band. “It provides a unique glimpse into our world throughout the years as well as a glimpse into our scene from its earlier beginnings right up until the present. Kevin Stewart-Panko did an amazing job in assimilating almost 40 years of stories and memories into a book that will finally give our fans a unique look into Immolation’s long and rich history rooted in the beginnings of the death metal scene.”
