A foundational death metal band known for its cavernous, doom-laden sound.
Incantation defined a whole corner of death metal with that low, murky guitar tone and John McEntee's guttural vocals. Songs like 'The Fallen' or 'Impending Diabolical Conquest' aren't just fast; they're oppressive, dragging you through a swamp of distortion. They made brutality feel atmospheric, not just technical.
The band formed in 1989 and has been a steady, unwavering presence in the underground ever since. Their sound, from early demos through albums like 'Onward to Golgotha', has remained committed to that specific, suffocating style.
For the full experience, put on 'The Stench of Crucifixion' and let that opening riff sink in. It's all there.
