Immolation - Providence
I have no idea why Scion thinks that giving away music will help them sell cars, but if it means a free Immolation download, then I’m all for it. Ironically, handing out the CD (and vinyl?!) version of this EP for free at shows (and possibly at Scion “partner shops,” whatever that means) has only (so far, at least) meant that it’s pretty difficult to find, and is currently commanding much higher prices on eBay than if you could just buy the god damn thing anywhere. So, you know, fuck anyone so unimaginably retro as to not have a 9G iPhone666 with (under)worldwide access to the Satanic Data Cloud, or maybe just the desire to want an actual physical CD. That aside, of course the music is amazing. Immolation never disappoints and has been mandatory listening for well over two decades. These tracks sound as if they could have been leftovers from the untouchable Majesty and Decay sessions. If that seems like I’m possibly implying that Providence is microscopically less perfect, well… I am. But please don’t misunderstand, this is an amazing example of Death Metal supremacy that would utterly blow my brain out the back of my skull were it from an unknown or lesser band, it’s just that Immolation is held to the absolute highest standard, and even so it’s still astonishing, just not completely flawless, with minor imperfections in the mix (where’s the bass guitar?) more than anything else.
