Incantation
Profane Nexus
Album · Metal · 2017
On their 10th album, Incantation push their doom-worship style up front. “Visceral Hexahedron” is a neo-Sabbath dirge thick with atmosphere, punctuated by John McEntee’s grizzly hacking and a few blastbeat spasms toward the end, while “Ancients Arise” roars like a bulldozer struggling to escape a muddy sinkhole. But the mighty band are ultimately death-metalheads, and as “Lus Sepulcri” proves, they’re experts at laying down dense, suffocating rhythms capable of fracturing continental plates.
