Vanquish in Vengeance is Incantation’s first album in six years. Strangely, their profile has grown considerably during their silence.The limelight has changed little for Incantation. This band is a hermetically-sealed institution; civilization could collapse and it wouldn’t affect their approach. Ironically, Vanquish In Vengeance concerns itself far less with lo-fi orthodoxy than do most Incantation disciples. The performances on Vanquish are drum-tight; the tones, muscular and clear.2012 has been a banner year for death/doom. Asphyx, Hooded Menace, Indesinence, Inverloch, and Emptiness have all released compelling material. But right now, Vanquish In Vengeance might take the annual crown. Closer “Legion of Dis” is the best slow death metal jam I’ve heard this year; it starts with claustrophobic groove and gradually opens up into a gaping abyss. Listen for yourself.
Un train de nuit sans aucun arrêt.
Un Jeu de vengeance impitoyable.
