IMMOLATION Guitarist On Upcoming Tour: 'Things Will Be A Little Different Each Show'

October 24, 2007

Legendary death metal titans IMMOLATION kick off a massive a month-long North American tour this week with SUFFOCATION and SKINLESS, which marks their first stateside trek in three years. Returning with the same lineup as their previous release, "Harnessing Ruin", the group finds itself uncharacteristically stable, allowing for chemistry not present in their formative years. Founding members Ross Dolan (bass, vocals) and Robert Vigna (guitar) join Bill Taylor (guitar) and Steve Shalaty (drums) to form the group's most consistently punishing lineup yet.

Commented Vigna: "We are really looking forward to this SUFFOCATION tour. We haven't been out in the states for a while now and we can't wait! I think the lineup is really strong and the fact that it's composed off all NY bands is something special that the kids have been waiting for. All the bands have their own style, so it's going to be a great extreme show!

"We are going to try and fit in as much classic material, as well as new stuff into our set. With each album it gets harder and harder to get a set list together, but I think we chose some really good tunes for the tour. We have enough different tracks down to alternate from night to night, which is what we plan to do, so things will be a little different each show. Looking forward to seeing everyone out there and prepare for one intense night of extreme metal."
