2023 press on clear gold splatter vinyl with gatefold cover and lyric insert

Incantations fifth album The Infernal Storm is a very solid, consistent album. Structurally, this is very sound, while also showing interest and variance amongst tracks. There are lots of great song hooks, often serviced through a real knack with tempo changes (a sensitivity undiscovered by most metal bands), excellent production (a perfect mix of clarity and heaviness), the vocalist goes less on the unnecessary drama of Corchado (from ‘Diabolical…’) with a more suave approach mirroring the effect Craig Pillard (an earlier vocalist) once had. ‘Heaven Departed’ – wow, what a song! So simple, yet so original, leaving the blast beats at the start and descending into doom and dark groove. This album is more straight forward than earlier albums but thats not a bad thin at all. Why complicate things?! This isn’t modernist classical music, its metal. This album is a great taste of very professional death metal.
