Editorial Reviews

Without a doubt one of the most important bands ever to emerge in the world of extreme music, Incantation has set the standard for USDM and is often credited as a pioneer in the genre. For over two decades, Incantation has stood out as one of the most uncompromising forces in metal with their blasphemous and bone- crushing doom-tinged brand of death. Responsible for classics like "Onward to Golgotha" and "Diabolical Conquest", Incantation's legacy speaks for itself. Vanquish in Vengeance, Incantation's long-awaited follow up to 2006's Primordial Decimation, features over 50 minutes of the band's trademark dark and unholy death metal. Recorded at the infamous Mars Recording Compound with Engineer Bill Korecky and mixed and mastered by the legendary Dan Swano at Unisound studios, Vanquish in Vengeance deals with the numerous counts of genocide in the name of religion our society has witnessed over a millennia.

I'm reluctantly giving this one 5 stars because I believe that within the genre niche it is excellent, but I don't like the niche. What niche is that? Cookie Monster Vocals Death Metal is what niche. Look, I dig some death metal- I love the new Grand Supreme Blood Court album, I love Sigh, especially their Scenes From Hell album, and I could keep going but I probably don't need to. Look, I'm not the type to rail on a band just 'cuz I don't like the style, but I try to stay away from bands with vocals that sound like a dude vomiting around a mouthful of marbles, and nowhere in any of the reviews for this album did anyone feel it worth mentioning the Cookie Monster vocals. The other gripe I have is the loose tossing around of the 'Doom' moniker. Sorry, this ain't Doom. Fact is, it seems folks will call anything from Black Sabbath to Triptykon 'Doom', and while the legitimacy could be argued in those two instances (I love both bands, by the way), Incantation just ain't doom.

This review is supposed to reflect neither positively nor negatively on Incantation's album, it is meant to help others when deciding whether it sounds like something they may like, or not.

5.0 out of 5 stars Incantation: The sum of all their powers displayed in a single devastating CD.
Reviewed in the United States on August 15, 2013

After over 20 years on the death metal scene, this New York-turned-Pennsylvania group has remained as untouchable as they are inimitable. Their unique blend of sludgy, doom-like pace with blasting chaos, wrapped up in an apocalyptic death/grind aesthetic with blasphemic lyrics that are as soulful as they are chilling...have made them almost-metal-mainstream-but-still-underground heroes of musical extremity. My favorites up until this point have been their 1992 debut, Onward to Golgotha (of course), the 1995 rough-mix version of 1994's Mortal Throne of Nazarene (titled Upon the Throne of Apocalypse), and 1998's milestonic Diabolical Conquest. But Vanquish in Vengeance gives all of these a run for their unholy money. Armed with a new lineup, founding father (and sole original member) John McEntee has retained all of the above-mentioned qualities, and worked in some of the best elements from the more recent releases (crisper production, cascading-blood-arpeggio guitar lines that are reminiscent of longtime Brazilian friends Krisiun). Throw in a continued improvement of the actual playing by each member, and the best mix of anything they've ever produced (in-your-face AND atmospheric at the same time)...and you have a masterpiece. A band at the absolute peak of their powers. Well done, John and Kyle. You and your crew better be ultra-proud of this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect Unholy Brutal Death Metal
Reviewed in the United States on March 14, 2013

I'm a fan of Incantation from his early work, including demos and compact. The work that pleases me most are the first two releases, but I never stopped liking each other. The band has always had a sound quality and with minor changes due ace trade training, but always getting key members. With Vanquish in Vengeance Incantation achieved a perfect balance in their compositions, bringing a perfect unholy and brutal death metal with a lot of weight and aggressiveness. All compositions have a brutal atmosphere, and the sound quality and the artwork is to be congratulated!

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Incantation ever?
Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2013

Yes, it may very well be... no joke. Onward to Golgotha is my favorite death metal album of all time, and this might just best it. I would say it's closer to Diabolical Conquest musically, but it's its own work. Fractals, nature, reality, strength in decay, rebirth... it's all right here, in every track. This isn't a throwback album; They're not striving to reclaim past glory. It's just honest death metal that has real depth and substance.

Best album since the debut, Onward to Golgotha. I knew it was going to be great before the first song had even finished, and the production is perfect for Incantation's sound. A must for any Incantation fan!

5.0 out of 5 stars Grand retour des Parrains du "BLASPHEMIC DEATH DOOM"
Reviewed in France on April 14, 2022

Meilleur Disque des New-Yorkais depuis la Trilogie "ONWARD...(92)"MORTAL THRONE...(95)"DIABOLICAL...(97-98) du début du groupe.INCANTATION ne trouvait plus ou peu l'inspiration du début, donc de 1999 a ce mois de juin 2012(cause a beaucoup de problèmes dont le départ de Greg Pillard et bien d'autres!) Mais INCANTATION allait revenir avec cet "Ovni". Avec une équipe que John MacEntee tirera le meilleur, avec Alex Bouks en tête, Kyle Severn et Chuck Sherwood. Un disque que les connaisseurs seront ravi d'avoir et que d'autres auront peur de posseder!!

5.0 out of 5 stars 久々の快作！ & ダン・スウォノMIXによる聴き易さ。
Reviewed in Japan on January 9, 2019
Verified Purchase
2012年作。オリジナルアルバムとしては前作より6年ぶりの作品。

メンバーも専任ギタリストが加入し、再び4人編成にアップデート。

曲作りに時間を費やせた為か、はたまた新たな血を導入した為かは分からないけど、前作で感じたマンネリは感じず。どの曲もフレッシュに響いて来る。

そしてふと、いつもと音が違うなーと思ってクレジット見たら、ミックスにはダン・スウォノの名が！Σ（￣□￣;）ﾊｳｯ

なるほど納得の聴き易さだ(￣ー+￣)ﾌｯ

やっぱりこのバンドは4人編成の方がしっくりくる。演奏的にも音楽的にも。ギターが2本あった方が圧倒的に良い。

久々の快作に嬉しくなった当方(*≧∀≦*)

最終曲の10分越えの濃密さに、このバンドの本気の覚悟を見た♪♪('・ω・`)

Rien de neuf sur le soleil mais si vous avez apprécié les albums précédents, ce qui est mon cas, vous allez adorer. Il s'agit d'un des rares styles ou 20 à 30 ans après, les groupes gardent une inspiration intacte comme napalm death, immolation ou Suffocation. Un pur moment de bonheur à chaque fois pour les amateurs du genre.

5.0 out of 5 stars 待望の新作‼
Reviewed in Japan on January 15, 2013
Verified Purchase
待ちに待った新作がついに発売‼ ブラッケンド・デスメタルのパイオニアであるが、あくまでも「現役」を主張するため、という思惑もあるのではないかと推測できる。内容は前半は割と攻め立てるような曲で占め、後半はいつものズルズル引きずるような、ドゥーミーな曲と分かれている。今までのように、1曲の中にファストパートとスローパートを組み込むのではなく、今回は1曲ごとにファストな曲と、スローな曲にハッキリ分けられた。それが好みの分かれる点だと思われる。個人的には、1曲の中で展開していくほうが好きだが、こうやって分かれていると、実はアルバムを最初から最後まで、一気に通して聴けることに気づかされた!
