Immolation - Unholy Cult

Senior year, nearly finished with highschool and anticipating a whole new era of awful existence.  This "new era" being college, which every adult told me would be fun... wrong!

Unholy Cult was my first exposure to Immolation, and after hearing their other albums, I would say it's their best.  The varied pace, production value, songwriting, it's all there.  The riffs here are satisfyingly discordant and arranged perfectly with the drums.  Alex Hernandez's drumming is on another level in this effort, it's such a shame he left the band the following year.  The production is slighty "crunchy" with a Black Metal-esque ambience, it's quite unique and very fitting.

People like to talk about Here in After or Majesty and Decay alot, but if you ask me, this is the album.  It's as good as anything Morbid Angel has ever done.  Masterful...
