After the incredible Here in After, I was prepared for Failures for Gods to similarly break my spine and send me to a place of misanthropic misery where no god can touch me. I was ready for twisted riffs to fill me with infernal black flames and ravage my soul while the drums mimicked the beatdown of an unworthy god. That triumphant album cover of the devil gazing upon his subjects was the final piece.
Perhaps I expected too much. For somewhere between the two albums, Immolation seems to have lost something key. By rights, the music is expertly played. The drumming is inhuman, the songwriting is interesting, the vocals slay. On its own, it’s a great album. But this is essentially a strong Tech/Dissodeath influenced Death Metal album… not the follow up to one of the greatest albums in that genre ever.
Trying to put my finger on what’s missing here, it’s the memorability. Despite being highly Dissodeath influenced, Here in After featured some incredibly memorable riffs, often repeating their strongest, catchiest riffs multiple times in order for you to latch onto something amidst the brutal chaos, leaving each song memorable and strong. Failures for Gods… just doesn’t have that. I can’t remember a single riff off the album.
And that’s pretty par for the course when it comes to Dissodeath, but it goes to show why Here in After is a whole other breed. Failures for Gods is a great album that is sure to satisfy fans of the genre. But as a follow up to one ... See More

전작의 연장선 느낌이 강한 Immolation 의 3집 입니다. 역시나 하는게 약간 난해한 구성과 그걸 풀어나가는 형식이 전작과 유사한 면이 많으며, 대신 보이스의 한층더 걸걸하면서 조금 부르탈?하고 공격적인 보컬라인이 좋았습니다. 곡들 전체를 보면 비슷한 형식이야 어쩔수 없지만, 끊어주고 잡아주는 완급조절이 전작에 비해서는 한층 다듬어진 것 같습니다. 조금 겉으로 빠지면 앨범표지가 쫌 실제로 보면 B- 급 정도 아쉬운 것 하고 녹음이 전체적으로 뭉친감이 없진 않았지만, 한결같은 밴드노선을 추구하는 편입니다.

This third album by Immolation is not my style, but still has some good parts

I can get into this one a bit, but not too much. I couldn't shake the feeling that something is missing from a lot of these songs. Overall, still good.

매우 훌륭한 앨범. 다음 작품이 너무 뛰어나서 상대적으로 떨어져보일 뿐. Close to a World Below 스타일로 변화하는 과도기처럼 보임.

이 앨범인 99년에 나온 3집까지 시디로 가지고 있다. 세기말에 나온 이것도 좋지만 2000년작 Close to a World Below 좋다는 소리를 여기저기서 하도 많이 들어서 나중에 최근작들과 같이 구입하려고 예전부터 생각중임.

Sounds just like Immolation! That's right, they managed to put out an album that seems like a continuation or extension of their previous work. It's still a great album, though, because the Death Metal feeling these guys give off is very different from that of other "mainstream" Death Metal bands. It's pretty much unique to Immolation.
