Immolation Shares New Music Video "Attrition"

New York death metal titans, Immolation, are reaching a fever pitch as they prepare to unleash "Descent." Their twelfth studio album arrives April 10 via Nuclear Blast Records, just as the band kicks off a North American tour alongside label mates, Behemoth.

Today, the band release the second single, "Attrition" – a masterclass in tension. Defined by its crushing groove and volatile tempo shifts the track opens with a crawling, mid-paced groove that eventually gives way to stunning tempo shifts, culminating in a bone-shattering finale. This is dark death metal at its most cinematic—equal parts atmospheric depth and sheer, crushing brutality proving Immolation remains the gold standard of the genre.

Watch the music video for "Attrition" – directed by the band’s own Bob Vigna – below.

Immolation comments: "We are excited to release, ‘Attrition’, another new track from our upcoming album, Decent. This song is a dark, powerful heavy track with plenty of intensity. ‘Attrition’ has a dismal, hopeless atmosphere…as it focuses on the senseless wars and battles for territory that mankind seems to constantly repeat, no matter what the cost. The drum work by Steve Shalaty is a key component in this song as it emphasizes the overall emotion of the track, with not only a militant feel, but unique rhythmic cymbal work and other twists that bring the musical parts to life. ‘Attrition’ is a good example of the diverse nature of Descent. A catchy, yet explosive track with all the Immolation elements. We hope you enjoy ‘Attrition’!"
