Immolation is an American death metal band from Yonkers, New York, formed after the dissolution of Rigor Mortis (NY), which was founded in 1986 by Andrew Sakowicz, Dave Wilkinson, and Robert Vigna. After Sakowicz left in 1988, he was replaced by Ross Dolan, and the band changed its name to Immolation.
