New York death metal giants IMMOLATION will release their new album Atonement on February 24th via Nuclear Blast Records. Today, the band has released their first video trailer discussing the release of that record. Check out vocalist/bassist Ross Dolan and guitarist Bob Vigna discussing what lead up to the creation of Atonement, here:
IMMOLATION are also pleased to join Max & Iggor Cavalera on their upcoming second leg of their RETURN TO ROOTS TOUR, next February/March in North America.
“We are really excited to be a part of this tour! It is no secret that SEPULTURA was one of our earliest influences, and Max and Iggor were the force behind it all! From Bestial Devastation and Morbid Visions to Schizophrenia, SEPULTURA was one of the classic metal acts that is responsible for inspiring us to do what we do!
“To be able to join these guys around the US is definitely something special for us and we feel this whole package is going to have a lot to offer for the entire extreme metal scene! We look forward to seeing the metal masses out there in February!”
