Bands like Deicide, Cannibal Corpse and Morbid Angel poured a decent amount of technicality into their music, but Immolation out did them all; only Cryptopsy and Gorguts can top them in the technical field. The music makes a swift return to the hectic world of barrages of New York death metal riffing and extremely heavy drumming, but that brief reverie is definitely the album’s most memorable moment, and one of the best moments in the band’s entire discography and death metal on the whole. Absolutely amazing vocal performance. The fallen angels; demons, with red eyes, black skin and wings attack the divine mercilessly… none of the sides flee… the war is on. Dawn of Possession still holds up today among the best of Immolation's albums, as well as the best that death metal has to offer. The guitars on this album truly could be licensed as illegal weapons.

Reason I say that is cause they evolved after Dawn. After a series of well-received demos, Immolation signed to Roadrunner in 1991 to issue their debut album, Dawn of Possession; a five-year gap (and a move to Metal Blade) preceded the follow-up Here in After. Aside from the quality of riffs an sich, the most noteworthy aspect of the album is the majestically dark, deep atmosphere, which the thick production, sinister guitar leads, and the almost inordinately heavy riffs and drumming together create.

The rhythm guitars pinch off a number of percussive squeals through the monstrous miasma, but blend them seamlessly into the overall riffing structure, rather than transforming them into an annoying 'feature' as many later, younger brutal death acts would (and still do). Puns aside, Dolan's bass playing is also rather audible for a death metal album with "Into Everlasting Fire" being a prime example of this. This song has a very black/doom feel to it. His vocals are given some great reverb at points to just hover off over the ballistic undercurrent, and though the guy just doesn't have a super distinct style like John Tardy or Martin van Drunen, his performance here is a perfectly serviceable and disturbing peer for David Vincent and Craig Pillard. “Burial Ground” has cool lyrics too, about how war destroys earth, is another of the songs were Smilowski shows his skills (well, he does in every song actually), the break in 2:43 is simply amazing. Their guitar solos on songs like "Burial Ground" and "Fall in Disease" display their virtuosity perfectly.
