Description

Red and black marbled vinyl

Incantation may be the last pure death metal band standing today . They have never abandoned their singular goal to create aggressive , hateful underground death metal. Despite numerous line-up changes throughout an awe-inspiring 25 year span, this band continues to improve upon the hellish blueprint that John McEntee created a quarter of a century ago. When Incantation drops a new album , you know immediately what to expect because they are that obstinate and reliable . 2012’s Vanquish in Vengeance was an epic comeback album that easily sat amongst the better of the band’s works. Dirges Of Elysium is no different , if not more violent and darker. The production is top notch adding dimension and clarity to all of the band’s instruments , most notably the bass guitar; it oozes to the surface like a primordial slime. Kyle Severn’s drumming hasn’t sounded this vicious in years. The guitars are what keep this album fresh, though. Sinister riffs and serpentine solos intertwine with the cacophony of cavernous roars and murky bass lines. Incantation don’t create songs that you can sing along to; they create nightmarish sonic landscapes that conjure images of dread and evil. On the title track, we are treated to Immolation-like guitar wailings followed by a vicious assault called Debauchery. The 16 minute closer Elysium, anti-climatic as it may be, closes the album out properly. Nothing on this album is unpredictable from Incantation, yet it comes across as fresh. Dirges is just as bloodthirsty as Diabolical Conquest, as calculated as The Infernal Sorm and just as slimey as Mortal Throne Of Nazarene. This one won’t be remembered as their best album but it is a testament of just how timeless, influential and enviable Incantation are in the annals of death metal history. Like an ancient mythological beast released from a cave, Incantation return to assault , eviscerate and then toy with what’s left of you and your ravaged ear drums .you’ve been forewarned!
