The ninth full-length studio outing from the New York death metal legends led by founding members
Ross Dolan
and
Robert Vigna
, the
Nuclear Assault
-issued
Kingdom of Conspiracy
is also
Immolation
's first foray into the conceptual realm. Working again with longtime producer
Paul Orofino
, the veteran rockers have crafted a hornet's nest of decibels that effortlessly blends proletarian musicality and simple, unadorned ferocity. Built around a series of political conspiracies, the album was inspired by author
George Orwell
's iconic 1949 dystopian masterpiece 1984, and the ten punishing tracks dutifully echo the novel's bleak miasma of social unrest and internal paranoia. ~ James Christopher Monger
