IMMOLATION’s Tommy Jones-directed video for the song “A Glorious Epoch”, can be viewed below. The track comes off the band’s eighth album, “Majesty And Decay”, which was released in March 2010 via Nuclear Blast Records. The CD sold around 1,400 copies in the United States in its first week of release to land at position No. 29 on the Top New Artist Albums (Heatseekers) chart, which lists the best-selling albums by new and developing artists, defined as those who have never appeared in the Top 100 of The Billboard 200.
“Majesty And Decay” was recorded Millbrook Sound Studios in New York with longtime producer Paul Orofino. Mixing duties were handled by Zack Ohren, who has previously worked with DECREPIT BIRTH, SUFFOCATION and ALL SHALL PERISH, among others.
IMMOLATION’s new album contains “10 songs [plus two intros] of the strongest material we have ever written,” the band said in a statement. “The new material is more violent and aggressive, with fast sections that take us to a new level of speed and intensity, while complementing the dark and sullen heavier moments. There are plenty of miserable and militant movements to please the diehard and new IMMOLATION fans alike.”
“Majesty And Decay” is the third consecutive release featuring IMMOLATION’s current lineup:
Ross Dolan – Bass, Vocals
Robert Vigna – Guitars
Bill Taylor – Guitars
Steve Shalaty – Drums
