INCANTATION ON MYSPACE

Few artists are able to leave an outstanding mark upon the music world. Familiarity is second to 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 important are those who build a legacy which will extend past their years.

Over their illustrious fifteen years career, INCANTATION has become an infamous death metal institution and pillar of the international underground metal scene. The staggering combination of the band's ominous sound, vicious style, incredible work ethic and unwavering dedication to the music has left an indelible mark unmatched by all except the most legendary of their peers. Their ominous sound and style, borne of founder/guitarist John Mc Entee's desire to meld classic metal influences with an over-the-top heaviness heavier than anything that had come before it, has cast a shadow long and dark over the entire genre. They are the innovators of what has been dubbed the "New York death metal style" and have influenced hundreds of bands the world over.

Arguably metal's hardest working band, INCANTATION have endeavoured to tour every corner of the world; from Canada to Colombia, Argentina to Europe, Central America, Australia and the States. INCANTATION has ventured forth like conquering 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. Many members have spearheaded underground labels and distribution companies devoted wholly to the music.

Additionally INCANTATION have given many other bands their first opportunity to tour on American soil. Bands like NILE, ABSU, VEHEMENCE for America along with band for around the globe like Austria’s PUNGENT STENCH, Canada’s KATAKLYSM, Poland’s DECAPITATED Norway's ENSLAVED, Brazil's KRISIUN, and Japan's DEFILED all owe a debt of gratitude for INCANTATION 's use of their own tours to lend a helping hand to their metal brethren. Two of the INCANTATION's three previous full-lengths, “Onward To Golgotha” and “Diabolical Conquest”, are considered classics that stand not only as rules of quality but are also mile markers in the genre's growth and development. The bands collective output ranks within the style's unholy grail.

After the release of “Blasphemy” with the departure of Mike Saez, John McEntee (guitarist founding member) took over vocals duties and prepared for extensive touring. The "BLASPHEMY WORLD ASSAULT TOUR" took the band for all corners of the earth including many first time appearances in countries like Australia, New Zealand, Italy, England, and Scotland. In 2004, the trio unleashed their sixth full length studio album “Decimate Christendom” under Listenable records and run amok touring Europe and America.

October 2006, the band introduce us to their most brutal and defined album : “PRIMORDIAL DOMINATION”. John Mc Entee and his horde have managed to dig deeper in intensity and power. They’re touring in Brasil this winter and will do a full European tour in Spring 2007 INCANTATION’s ongoing legacy of blasphemous death metal will carry on for ever and ever…
