Close to a World Below by Immolation stands as one of the most powerful and thought-provoking death metal albums ever recorded. This 25th Anniversary reissue on fiery orange marbled vinyl reignites the inferno in stunning form.
Originally released in 2000, Close to a World Below represents a defining moment in Immolation’s storied career. The band reached a perfect equilibrium between technical mastery and spiritual darkness. Tracks like “Father, You’re Not a Father”, “Furthest from the Truth”, and “Closer to a World Below” remain cornerstones of extreme metal to this day. The production is warm yet punishing, with Ross Dolan’s deep growls and Robert Vigna’s chaotic riffs painting an apocalyptic soundscape.
This 25th Anniversary Reissue arrives on fiery orange marbled vinyl, a visual reflection of the album’s blazing intensity. It includes a lyric/photo insert and a unique large poster, making it a must-own collector’s piece.
This edition not only celebrates the band’s enduring impact but also amplifies the visual and emotional gravity of the original.
For fans of dark, atmospheric, and intelligent death metal, Close to a World Below is essential. Immolation’s legacy burns brighter than ever.
