Nine albums deep into this career, led by bassist\/vocalist Ross Dolan and guitarist Robert Vigna, they remain as strong and relevant as ever and the latest of those 9 albums &#8216;Kingdom Of Conspiracy&#8217; came out via Nuclear Blast Records just a couple of weeks ago. On the aforementioned tour with Cannibal Corpse, they made a stop at the Observatory (formerly the Galaxy) in Santa Ana on May 16, and a few hours before they crushed that stage, I spoke to Robert Vigna about this tour, the new album, the very early days of Immolation, and more. Listen to the 11-minute chat below, and read my review of the Santa Ana show by following the related link at the bottom of this page.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"700\" height=\"525\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/tPgBkXki8Fo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: <a href=\"http:\/\/metalassault.com\/gig_reviews\/2013\/05\/17\/cannibal-corpse-decimates-orange-county\/\" target=\"_blank\">Santa Ana gig review<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Links:<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/facebook.com\/Immolation\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>facebook.com\/Immolation<\/strong><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/Immolation\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>twitter.com\/Immolation<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: black;\"><span style=\"color: black;\"><span style=\"color: black;\"><span style=\"color: black;\"><span style=\"color: black;\"><span style=\"color: black;\"><strong>Remaining Tour Dates:<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span>5\/28 Chicago, IL @ Bottom Lounge<br \/>\n5\/29 Detroit, MI @ Harpos<br \/>\n5\/30 Buffalo, NY @ Town Ballroom<br \/>\n5\/31 Toronto, ON @ The Phoenix<br \/>\n6\/1 Montreal, QC @ Club Soda<br \/>\n6\/2 Boston, MA @ Royale<br \/>\n6\/4 New Haven, CT @ Toad\u2019s Place<br \/>\n6\/5 Brooklyn, NY @ Music Hall of Williamsburg<br \/>\n6\/6 Philadelphia, PA @ Union Transfer<br \/>\n6\/7 Cleveland, OH @ Peabodys<br \/>\n6\/9 St. Louis, MO @ Pops<br \/>\n6\/11 Atlanta, GA @ Masquerade<br \/>\n6\/12 Orlando, FL @ Beacham<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Andrew Bansal Just like their current tour mates Cannibal Corpse, New York death metal giants Immolation are also completing the 25th year of their journey in extreme music in 2013.
