    Artist History
    Few artists are able to leave an outstanding mark upon the music world in the modernmusic climate that renders faces and names a wash of media static. Familiarity is secondto quick-fix accessibility and integrity is traded in for desperate attempts to stay current.Rare is the artist or band who can leave the most scant of marks. More precious are thosewho build a legacy which will extend past their years.Over their illustrious eleven year career, INCANTATION has become an infamousdeath metal institution and pillar of the international underground metal scene. Thestaggering combination of the bands ominous sound and vicious style, incredible workethic and unwavering dedication to the music has left an indelible mark unmatched by allexcept the most legendary of their peers.Their ominous sound and style, borne of a founder/guitarist’ John McEntee’s andlongtime bassist Rob Yench desire to meld classic metal influences with a over-the-topheaviness heavier than anything that had come before it, has cast a shadow long and darkover the entire genre. They are innovators of what has been dubbed the “New York deathmetal style” and have influenced hundreds of band s the world over.Arguably metal's hardest working band, INCANTATION have endeavored to tour to every corner of the world; from Canada to Colombia, Argentina to Europe, Central America and the States, INCANTATION has ventured forth likeconquering crusaders, converting thousands of new fans time after time.The band members iron-willed commitment to their craft has turned them into champions for their cause. The band have regularly contributed songs and recordings tosmall labels the world over; pulling each one upward with them. Many members havespearheaded underground labels and distribution companies devoted wholly to the music. Additionally INCANTATION have given many other bands their first opportunities to tour on American soil. Bands from America (NILE, ABSU, KATKLYSM, DYINGFETUS) and other corners of the globe (Norway’s ENSLAVED, Brazil’s KRISIUN, andJapan’s DEFILED) all owe a debt of gratitude for INCANTATION’s use of their owntours to lend a helping hand to their metal brethren. Two of the INCANTATION’s three previous full-lengths, Onward To Golgothaand Diabolical Conquest, are considered classics that stand not only as rules of qualityand are milemarkers in the genre's growth and development. The bands collective outputranks within the style's unholy grailThe latest chapter in the INCANTATION saga is The Infernal Storm. Recorded by longtime producer Bill Korecky (Integrity, Earth Crisis) at Cleveland's Mars Recording Compound, The Infernal Storm is the realization of eleven years of Hard work and is INCANTATION's finest hour yet. The Infernal Storm captures the band at it’s finest and most creative apex to date.Dark harmonies burn through the oppressively heavy guitar attack that has become thebands trademark. Throughout tracks such as Sempiternal Pandemonuim.... smolderingpassages of ruin and despair crawl forth like so many creatures from the depths;measuring and lurking before exploding into a violent fury. New frontman Mike Saez (formerly of Deathrune) spits venom from is lungs overthe bands razor sharp compositions and crisp drum attack laid down by session playerDave Culross (Malevolent Creation, ex-Suffocation).
