i met john and the gang back in 2000 and man i gotta say, they were fucking amazing. i wasnt expecting to bump into them, and was perusing their merch table and realized i needed a new beer. as i trod up to the bar, not even 10 feet from the merch table john and the gang walked up to me (seemingly like they meant to speak to me) and just came up to me and started bullshitting as tho we were old pals. i didnt have anything for autograph, so they grabbed a poster from the merch table and had everyone sign it for me. needless to say i procured a new longsleeve from them after i refilled my alcohol levels. and holy shit that was a kickass show. they were really kool. i still have the pics from that night. it was really fantastic.

My personal opinion, Incantation has been on a level that Cannibal Corpse, and Deicide haven't really been on for a while now. For me, CC has become a Commercial Cookie Cutter of their former selves, and Deicide haven't been Deicide since the brothers left the band. Amon crushes Deicide, even though they aren't consistent with releases and or touring.

I want to love this new Incantation album. I definitely need more time with it, but just with them in general, I should love them, they have elements of the styles I loved for years (doom, some psychedelia), and now that I’m finally figuring out what I like in extreme metal, these dudes should basically be my favorite of all OG death metalists (not counting Death, bc that’s unfair), but aren’t, at least not yet. Maybe I just need to listen to the right album(s) by them? Maybe I just need to see them live? That said, I do love that Expander album, or at least what I heard from it so far. Noise + experimentalish + thrash = happy me. I’ll check out the Tyranno too, bc you rarely steer us wrong. That also said, there’s just so much good music, including non-metal shit I’m digging, and I can’t keep up, damnit! ✌️🤘♾

There is a part of Incantations discography I havent heard an a large part of that has been how sonically their albums tend to sound bad. Not saying McEntees songs are bad. Fuck they are brutal. Here lies I think the reasons why Incantation and Immolation got lost in the shuffle was because of production and mixing. Blayne said it in the review about the better production of Cannibal Corpse and Morbid Angel ok not better but cleaner. I didnt hear an over produced sample hear like the over produced and not mixed well works from Cannibal or Morbid. The first thing I said when the snippet played was holy shit they cleaned it up. If only Onward to Golgotha sounded like this. So my complaint is with Blayne damn it. "Its to murky" or "you took to much of the murk off". This album sounds fucking great. I think that if Incantation and Immolation had better sounding completed albums starting with Onward to Golgotha and Dawn of Possession or within a couple of releases after the careers of these two bands would had taken a different path one resembling the careers of their Tampa counterparts.

My ideal show would be a split bill of Incantation and the Melvins. Dreaming on....
