5.0 out of 5 stars Incantation - Great Death and Doom metal!, June 22, 2001

Incantation is one of the best death/doom bands around. Their riffs are heavy, the drumms are skilled, the vocalist kills, and you can actually hear the bass! Someone else put down about how the bass drum kick is off, im sorry bro, but i am a musician myself, i play drums guitar, bass, vocals ect..and i know for a fact that when the bass drum is not going as fast as the snare drum it is on purpose. Cause when he slows down on the snare drum, he goes fast on the bass drum again. This cd also had something you would never have suspected a death metal band to do. The last track on the cd is 2 songs put together and the total time is over 16 minutes long! I would expect that from a straight up doom or a black band but not a death band! If you want to hear some quality death metal that slows down at times to let your neck get a break from headbanging. But don't let the slowness fool ya, those slow riffs are pounding with evil and heaviness. I would suggest this to any death metal fan!

5.0 out of 5 stars Pure Blasphemy, Pure Genius..., January 3, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Diabolical Conquest (Audio CD)

There is nobody in this world today that wouldn't be a liar if they said they weren't upset over Craig Pillard's departure as Incantation's session-vocalist. I, for one, was terribly upset over the loss of such a landmark growl. Never in a million years would I expect someone to fill Craig's shoes and still like them. Well, Incantation has proven me to be somewhat pre-judgemental. To tell the absolute, honest-to-you-know-who truth, I like their new singer better. Hailing from Mexico, he has brought a new element to Incantation: DICTION. Yes, you can actually semi-understand a couple words as they are regurgitated from his esophagus. Now, I'm sure some of you are dissapointed at this, but don't fret! He is just as brutal, gutteral and vile as Craig. I am very pleased. As with the other Incantation albums, John McEntee's anti-melodic guitar playing is pure genious. This album is my pick as one of the top 5 heaviest albums of 1998 for sure. Fans of "old" Incantation, you will not be disappointed! BUY THIS NOW!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Unbeatably heavy death metal, November 4, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Diabolical Conquest (Audio CD)

How can people bad-mouth Incantation? I don't get it man. These guys create just an aura of pure evil. Listening to Diabolical Conquest is almost like sitting in an air-tight box at the bottom of the ocean. It's just totally oppressive and heavy. Unbelieveable. If you don't like Incantation, you totally don't know what's up.
