When it comes to Christian deathcore, one band rises to the top: Impending Doom. California\u2019s deathcore veterans have been around since the earliest days of the genre\u2019s explosion into popularity. Releasing one of the most extreme deathcore demos ever, the cult-level record entitled The Sin and Doom of Godless Men<\/em>, Impending Doom rose to the upper echelons of the deathcore movement, even in spite of openly wearing their faith in Christ on their sleeves. However, one will be hard pressed to hear mention of them in the metal mainstream alongside genre staples like Whitechapel, Suicide Silence or Thy Art is Murder; no doubt, this is the standard gatekeeping ridiculousness I\u2019ve come to expect whenever a band is open about their Christian faith, even in spite of the fact that Impending Doom are held in high-regard by many in the deathcore scene. Be that as it may, for a guy like me who isn\u2019t a major deathcore devotee, Impending Doom proved to be one of the most influential Christian bands on me personally. Their refusal to hide their faith in order to sell more records or not be pigeonholed is praiseworthy in my view; for myself, I prefer a band either be Christian or not at all rather than \u201cfaith-adjacent\u201d or half-apologetic about being Christians, and Impending Doom couldn\u2019t be more open about their faith in Christ. That inspires me a lot, because it sets the band up for an uphill struggle in the metal world, where they could and often do face being shunned, dismissed, or outright antagonized for their worldview. I get the feeling that Impending Doom couldn\u2019t care less what people think of them and their faith, outside of their mission to bring the  hope of Christ to those who would never normally entertain such a thing in the first place. Brook and company, if you’re reading this, thank you for inspiring me so much along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyway – let\u2019s get down to it, and rank Impending Doom\u2019s studio albums from worst\u2026to first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

There Will Be Violence<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even if Serpent Servant<\/em> signalled a change in direction for the band in terms of adopting a more palatable sound (relatively speaking of course), There Will Be Violence<\/em> felt just a little too close to the nu-metal sounds of Slipknot for my liking. Though I do love the song \u201cSweating Blood\u201d for its rousing tone, I just find that There Will Be Violence<\/em> lacks the overall intensity of their other releases. Not bad, just not my favourite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Sin and Doom Vol<\/em><\/strong>. II<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Impending Doom\u2019s latest full-length album before releasing a string of EP\u2019s in the 2020\u2019s, I found myself pretty hyped about this one. Referencing the band\u2019s ridiculously rank demo The Sin and Doom of Godless Men<\/em>, I felt like maybe the band was going back to their old sound. Did they? Not quite; in fact, not even close. Be that as it may, The Sin and Doom Vol. 2<\/em> was still a fairly powerful release, even if it didn\u2019t sound anything like the demo it referenced. Though I think the band\u2019s call-out of satanic black metal band\u2019s theatrics with the song \u201cThe Serpent\u2019s Tongue\u201d takes some major guts, I can\u2019t help but think the lyrics are a little cringey. However, I have to say that \u201cPaved With Bones\u201d was a total highlight for me, a raging number with a ludicrously headbangable groove to it that remains one of my favourite Impending Doom tracks. Think of this one as a combination of Baptized in Filth<\/em>\u2019s sense of dynamic with Death Will Reign<\/em>\u2019s brutality, but lacking the elements that made those albums fan favourites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Death Will Reign<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the fact that 2018 was kind of being marketed as the band\u2019s return to their old sound to a degree, Death Will Reign<\/em> is arguably the band\u2019s heaviest post-NDR<\/em> release. That\u2019s not to say it\u2019s like that album sound-wise, but it\u2019s emphasis on an impenetrably thick-sounding production and a doomish, slowed-down pace combined with the ferocious roars of Brook Reeves made for an exceedingly dark record. Its combination of darkly ambient passages and background audial canvases make it a unique album amongst the band\u2019s repertoire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Serpent Servant<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

After Impending Doom\u2019s Nailed. Dead. Risen.<\/em>, I feel like there really was nowhere else to go in terms of extremity; either the band had to release another album equally as intense and in the same style as their debut, or dial it back a bit and do something different. Obviously, if you\u2019ve heard this record, you\u2019ll know that Impending Doom chose the latter route. That\u2019s not to say that this one isn\u2019t one of their better releases in their catalogue, but Brook Reeves\u2019 inhuman gutturals are mostly replaced by Whitechapel-style roars, and I can\u2019t help but feel like this album is the sound of a band restraining themselves somewhat. That said, after Nailed. Dead. Risen.<\/em> almost anything sounds approachable. No, it doesn\u2019t make mincemeat out of the listener like NDR<\/em> did, but the riffs still sound ominous and the drums fire at top-speed often. A solid release that would indicate the direction the band would take from that point on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Baptized in Filth<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By the time this one was released, it was clear that Impending Doom had definitively left their brutal death\/grind influences behind. Though Serpent Servant<\/em> was a solid record, There Will Be Violence<\/em> toned it all down a bit too much for me. With Baptized in Filth<\/em>, the band managed to find their footing again and released one of the best albums of their career. Beginning with the deathcore anthem \u201cMurderer,\u201d Baptized in Filth<\/em> kept things super heavy while maintaining a more dynamic approach that kept it all fresh. Where albums like Nailed. Dead. Risen. <\/em>and Death Will Reign<\/em> succeeded with heaviness, Baptized in Filth <\/em>succeeds by virtue of its sense of dynamics. Though I prefer Impending Doom at their heaviest, \u201cMy Light Unseen\u201d saw the band exhibit a softer side that I never thought I\u2019d like so much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Nailed. Dead. Risen.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There once was a time when deathcore was a fresh, if somewhat controversial, new sound. While bands like Suicide Silence, Whitechapel, Despised Icon and Thy Art is Murder became leaders of the genre, it was Impending Doom that released a record that remains arguably the most extreme-sounding the movement\u2019s history. This album was Nailed. Dead. Risen.<\/em> Decked out at the time in Cannibal Corpse and Circle of Dead Children shirts, the young band seemed intent on proving to their secular metal counterparts that they could be every bit as brutal as they were. Thing is, on this album, Impending Doom ended up taking deathcore to such heights of extremity and depths of low-end brutality that the bar was set impossibly high. Brook Reeves sounds downright terrifying on here, veering from impossibly low gutturals to roars to pig squeals all in one song. And if you\u2019ve ever wanted to know what it feels like to be slammed into concrete by a rabid gorilla over and over, the breakdowns on here will give you a pretty good idea. It all ends with a terrifying interpretative vision of the Second Coming\/Last Judgement, seemingly from the perspective of the goats rather than the sheep. Few albums reach the level of intensity that this one does (only Human Harvest<\/em> by Circle of Dead Children comes to mind, really), and the band would sadly largely abandon the overt death\/grind influences on this album on subsequent releases But as it is, Nailed. Dead. Risen.<\/em> remains, in my opinion, the best deathcore record I have ever heard, and a towering icon of the genre. If you only own one deathcore record, let it be this one. Absolutely 100% mandatory listening.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
