The upcoming tour schedule follows last week’s premiere of two fiery new songs, “Derecho Demonico” and “G.O.D. and the Broken Ribs,” available now via Third Man Records on all DSPs and streaming services. Black 7” vinyl is on sale at thirdmanrecords.com and Third Man shops in Nashville, Detroit, and London. Black 7” vinyl arrives at independent record stores worldwide later this week.

Produced by White, “G.O.D. and the Broken Ribs” and “Derecho Demonico” mark the recent Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee’s first new music since 2024, a year highlighted by the release of his critically lauded sixth studio album, No Name. The acclaimed collection was honored with a 2025 GRAMMY® Award nomination for “Best Rock Album” – White’s 34th solo-career nomination and 46th overall, along with 16 total GRAMMY® Award wins. No Name includes the consecutive #1 U.S. radio hit singles, “That’s How I’m Feeling” and “Archbishop Harold Holmes,” the latter of which is joined by an electrically charged official music video starring legendary actor and renaissance man John C. Reilly as the ecstatic, impassioned titular character, now boasting over 3.2M worldwide views via YouTube alone.

Evanescence release their first new song of 2026, underground doom heroes Warning make a comeback and beleagured nuns Dogma offer a defiant new sound in this week’s best new metal songs

New York death metal icons Immolation have unleashed their twelfth studio album, Descent. This monumental release arrives on the eve of the band’s North American takeover.

To commemorate their new release, the band has unleashed their latest single, “Bend Towards The Dark”. The track is a sonic assault, fusing the band’s trademark sound with menacing leads and a barrage of merciless blasts.

Immolation comments: “We are excited to get one more single out as our new album Descent is finally released! “Bend Towards The Dark” is definitely one of the more ambitious tracks of the record. It has just about every element you would expect from Immolation, but takes things a bit further. It’s intense and heavy, yet becomes very epic and almost orchestral at times, really embodying a lot of feeling and emotion throughout. We really look forward to having “Bend Towards The Dark” out there to ignite the release of Descent! We hope everyone enjoys it!”

Descent was captured across two locations: Justin Passamonte tracked guitars, bass, and vocals at Jpass Music, while drums were recorded at Mercinary Studios with Noah Buchanan. The production was a collaborative effort between the band and long-time engineer Zack Ohren, who also handled the mixing and mastering. The result is a muscular, high-fidelity production that captures the band’s most fiery and brooding moments with equal clarity. To call Descent “heavy” or “brutal” is an understatement; this is death metal with a unique, elevated voice that stands entirely alone.

Visually, the band has once again tapped Eliran Kantor to craft a haunting cover masterpiece—a true hallmark of the Immolation aesthetic— complemented by Santiago Jaramillo’s (Triple Seis Design) internal booklet illustrations. With this release, Immolation reinforces their status as one of the most enduring and vital forces in the genre.

Order Descent here.

Immolation are currently trekking across North America for their Spring 2026 run. The tour features the band alongside Behemoth on the massive The Godless IV lineup, joined by Deicide and Rotting Christ, with several additional dates interspersed throughout the journey.

The final enlightenment has come.

All good things must come to an end, and while the span of 10 years might seem a fairly short run when measured against the decades that some of heavy metal’s prime movers have been at the game, the prolific road paved in the studio by Austin, Texas’ own Spirit Adrift has been nothing if not formidable.

Led by the guitar and vocal chops of multi-instrumentalist and mastermind Nate Garrett, whom also lent his skills at the six-string to the iconic death metal staple Gatecreeper, this epic and traditionally grounded doom metal institution has scarcely gone a year since their 2015 formation without fielding a substantial studio opus that has won them praise from such noted outlets as Decibel, Revolver, Metal Hammer and Kerrang!

Now, having already marked their March 20^th date opening for Crowbar, Eyehategod, and Black Magnet as their last live appearance, the final sonic chapter of this grand tale set to odes of existential woe has been codified via their 6^th studio LP, Infinite Illumination.

To the already initiated, this well-rounded opus of dense, forbidding odes recapitulates the unique blend of 80s epic doom, traditional heavy metal, and occasional fits of thrashing sludge that has typified this outfit’s stylistic approach since their sophomore studio outing, namely 2017’s Curse Of Conception. The generally slow-trudging mixture of atmospheric density and melodic consonance inspired by the likes of Candlemass and Solitude Aeturnus seamlessly mingle with a more Sabbath-centered sense of archaic melancholy featured in the seminal work of Trouble and The Obsessed, occasionally giving way to swifter and more aggressive fare that points to the likes of Corrosion Of Conformity and High On Fire.

In essence, Garrett’s artistic vision is nothing if not a multifaceted one, and the crop of high-caliber musicians surrounding him, including bassist Sonny DeCarlo (Goya), drummer Mike Arellano (M.O.D.), and recently recruited Alaska-born guitarist Jason Dahlke, perform masterfully in bringing that vision to life.

Never an outfit to shy away from going long, Spirit Adrift hit the ground with a thunderous dirge of a title entry in “Infinite Illumination”, clocking in at just less than 8 minutes and balancing a towering down tempo punch with hazy, atmospheric respites and chaotic bursts that effectively run the gamut of this fold’s stylistic toolset. At the helm, Garrett also exemplifies the tormented beauty that often comes with an epic doom approach, avoiding the overt operatic character of Messiah Marcolin or Dio-like bombast of Robert Lowe, but also having a soaring quality that makes for a more dramatic listen than what tends to go with modern traditional doom.

A similar musical story is told in a more dissonant, heavy and almost liturgical manner with the 7 minute mystical slough “You Will Never Hold The Key”, while the utterly dark and dreary crunch of “I Am Sustained” leans heavily into the heavy-ended and menacing metallic formula that made Epicus Doomicus Metallicus a pinnacle offering of the subgenre, not to mention showcasing the sort of wild virtuosic guitar soloing stunts that kept it firmly rooted in the 80s.

By the same token, this is a band that knows when to play things more concisely, and along for the ride with the extended jams are some merciless bangers that match accessible melodic hooks and shorter lengths with that same dank aesthetic. The more up-tempo yet highly menacing “Window Within” presents a tighter and punchier take on the doom question, playing off a fairly static riff set and allowing Garrett’s lofty voice to guide things through a generally straight musical path.

The chunky riff machine “Born In A Bad Way” goes even heavier while also taking a highly minimalist approach for its short duration, leaning towards that sludgy sound yet still feeling epic in demeanor. The tempo is kicked up to a mighty metallic roar on “White Death”, which could almost pass for a lost track off of Black Sabbath’s Dehumanizer save for Garrett’s more conventionally gritty vocal approach and a wetter guitar tone. But for a truly harrowing walk through the chambers of auditory woe, the closing epic “Where Once There Was An Ocean” balances the catchier elements of this album’s shorter entries with the grandiose atmospheric quality of the more drawn-out ones.

Amid the titans of modern doom metal that include the likes of Crypt Sermon, Pallbearer, Khemmis, and Wolftooth; Spirit Adrift was always a name that stood no less as tall and provided a bridge between the disparate expressions of the subgenre and the epic offshoots of the New Wave of Traditional Heavy Metal that leaned into a similar aesthetic. Infinite Illumination marks one of the better offerings in a highly consistent discography, channeling a similar kind of magic to the one that made seminal albums like Ancient Dreams, King Of The Dead, Beyond The Crimson Horizon, and Run To The Light the standard by which the new generation is measured.

It’s a bittersweet conclusion to a mighty tale that seemed to have only begun a short while ago, but given the magnitude of what has been committed to recording by this Texas quartet, this is an end that is sure to give rise to many new beginnings, be they by some of these musicians under a different moniker or a new crop inspired by this colossal coup de grace.
