As death metal advanced towards its creative peak, New York replaced Florida as the locus of the cult’s most innovative recordings. Among the bands emerging there were Immolation, whose debut Dawn Of Possession showcases a new technicality combined with intensified merciless brutality, resulting in a true death-trip of evil dissonant riffing and corpse-croaking malediction. One of death metal’s last profound revelations, Dawn Of Possession still stands high above most of its rivals.
