Death Metal icons INCANTATION prepare the masses for their new album, Unholy Deification, via Relapse Records. Edified over three-plus decades of experience, Unholy Deification is the group's 13th full-length album. Validated by peers seasoned and new, INCANTATION are more vital than ever - the lineup, featuring founding guitarist/vocalist John McEntee, drummer Kyle Severn, bassist Chuck Sherwood, and guitarist Luke Shively, displays death metal know-how and the power of determination. "I'm not interested in playing it safe," McEntee asserts. "I think other people feel that there are limits to what we do. However, I don't see it that way. If it feels right, then it's Incantation. The songs we write are an honest expression of ourselves. When people hear the new album, I hope they think, "Why are these guys so pissed off?!" Rage gives focus, which is why this album turned out the way it did." Lyrically, Unholy Deification originates with Sherwood. An avid reader and occult logician, the INCANTATION bassist wanted to capture a fully-realized concept of evolution through enlightenment. Expect thought-provoking, historically-derived intellection. That the mortal-to-deity narrative interacts with the merciless musical conflagration of hard-hitting tracks such as "Concordat (The Pact) I," "Homunculus (Spirit Made Flesh) IX," and "Invocation (Chthonic Merge) X". Make no mistake - the ferocious new album, featuring guests Jeff Beccera (Possessed), Henry Veggian (ex-Revenant), and Dan Vadim Von (Morbid Angel), is pure Death Metal. INCANTATION's sepulchral pandemonium is visually enhanced by award-winning artist and longstanding collaborator Eliran Kantor (Immolation, Kreator, Cavalera, and more.) The end result is an interpretation of Italian Renaissance masters, but thrust into INCANTATION's cauldron of chromatic malice.
So are they just singing about trash books they buy off amazon? Serious q. Wouldn’t stop me listening though because who understands death metal vocals without getting out the inlay card and a magnifying glass? This is tip top death
Saw Incantation in Montevideo, Uruguay few months ago for the first time in my life, and dude, I'm 44, I waited like 70% of my life for that. Totally worth it, they played for almost 100 people like they were playing in a stadium. Precise, nasty, fast, it was wonderful, I felt like a teenager again. No matter where are you from, your age or what you think, Incantation shows everyone that the flame is still burning strong and healthy. Cheers and thanks for them and the seal for this new gift!
Obituary and Incantation really came strong this year! Veterans of 3& half decades! Setting the bar that with age aren't weak in the realm of extreme music! Brutal af Hails 🤘🏼 Hails
First time I seen these dudes was with morbid Angel for the first abomination of an album in onward to Golgotha...still with Craig🤘, and first incarnation, now to the 2023, still crushing the soul, absolute death metal royalty.
What can I say...Incantantion is just Incantation! Each release is better than another!!! I really hope to see you again in Argentina! Total support and admiration for many years! Greetings from Cordoba, Argentina!
"If it feels right, then its Incantation". So much respect for these guys and that statement. Thats a REAL blood and guts, lifer musician making that comment. Ive known John and Kyle for years and it gives me an evil grin to see they're not only still at it, but at a high level. 🤘🤘🤘🤘
This is the first incantation album that clicks for me. Not to say that the rest I've heard were bad but... the production of this is just chef's kiss. Makes it such a great listen.
The strength of this album is that everything comes together this time - songwriting, lyrics (!!), cover all seems to be enchanted by the same spirit. Death Metal the old way, but still remains exciting from start to finish and the concept really gives the album it's own atmosphere. Great stuff!
This is an excellent band that I've been listening to since I was 16 years old, I'm happy to know that not only is it still around, but that excellent albums are released one after another, and this new one is insanely amazing. Greetings from Brazil!!
After a month of listening to this new album I can tell that it's truly great piece of art. And any minute of Incantation's music just can't be confused with any another band worldwide. Incantation's style remains unique. The covering artwork is so impressive as well.
I can say that incantation has not lost any steam and I have been listening to this band ever since high school and that was as far back as the 1990s as matter fact to be more precise it was the 92/93 school year I was a junior and I been listening these boys ever since to the present day
2024 and i still listening Rotting Spiritual Embodiment in the same way that this very record, this band is timeless, Respect to Mr Mc Entee and his mates for this marvelous work over the years
Got to see INCANTATION live for the first time in Dublin recently absolutely amazing honestly the best death metal band i have ever seen live . I hope they come back at some point thanka for an amazing night.
i am generally very reluctant about incantation-eske riffing, even if its Incantation themselves, but this one is a very very pleasant surprise. Awesome compositions and production
Well, what can I say it's Incantation. Even just knowing that alone made me be 100% sure this was gonna be a great album, and they delivered and them some! I love that there's the typical signature "Incantation style" but there's also some parts to the songs that sound new and fresh which in my opinion is the best way to incorporate new ways without changing the band too much. John, knowing you see these comments frequently, great job to you and the band and I'll be ever so excited to spin this countless times when the physical copy of that vinyl arrives and definitely looking forward to seeing the future tour for this album, an easy 10/10 record for me. My favorite songs were: Concordat and Megaron.
An incredible album, beautifully dark and HEAVY, I think the idea to make this a concept album was AMAZING. looking forward to the Incantation & Suffocation tour, see you in Toronto!
what more can be said about one of the best bands in the world?! I have been a fan since the beginning the band continues to evolve and each release is better than the previous one! I love the vocals of john much more than Craig. I have the CD coming in the mail I always get criticized when I call Incantation a black metal band however there is no denying their black metal elements. I will forever be a fan!
Offerings, Megaron, and Altar are my faves. Hope they are added to the live show list. Altar has great atmosphere. Could be a great show opener. Riff at 1:10 on Offerings is effing siiiick! Nice work Incantation! Definite purchase 🤘🤘
29:40 spot on Altar... just ridiculously rich riffing and harmonies. That section could be on repeat for 3 minutes and I would never tire of it. Its up there with some of the darker work on Vanquished in Vengeance, Diabolical, Nazarene, or Golgotha.

@@Ibexmoonrecords Thank YOU, John and the whole Incantation band, for creating PROPER Death Metal these days! It is deep, powerful, atmospheric, balanced, top-notch!
Many thanks for posting this Opvs, i got almost the whole collection even some items still closed but now i can"t buy a single cd here in Argentina. For you to know: 1 u$s = 750 + $ ours....
discazo donde los hayas... opresivo... clasutrofobico, aplastante, denso... como tiene que ser el death metal old school de toda la vida... satisfecho...
@@IbexmoonrecordsThanks for the reply. After my initial comment I read a couple interviews where you detailed some of the tracking. To be sure, I don't claim I can identify digital amps or drum replacement and quantizing all the time, this recording just sounded less tinkered with than the current standard, which I really appreciate. Not that it matters all the time, as far as I know some of my favorite albums have been recorded with digital drum pads (Sunlight Studios) Also I learned that this album along with the last couple of albums is a Dan Swanö production, which I wouldn't have guessed at all. If I ever get the chance I'll catch you live here in Germany!
Incantation never fails to deliver top tier Death Metal 🔥 Does anyone know what the roman numerals in each song mean and why the order seems random rather than going from I to X? Couldn't find any information on this so far...
between Incantation, Dying Fetus and Cryptopsy all with new albums out, I’m gonna have to be sold on this one. what other new releases are worth it? I should mention Non Est Deus but that was a few months ago.
Incantation kicked fucking ass again! Beautiful album - dark, atmospheric and epic! John’s vocals are still here - deep and powerful. And I like what that new guy on the guitar, Luke, did - harmonies, melodies, fills, solos… Great addition to the line-up that made Incantation stronger! Need to give Luke’s band Dismemberment a try! Helluva album! You rule! Hail from UKraine!

03:13 - 03:49 These are some really rich lush complex harmonies. Beautiful ending to the song. Long Live Incantation and congrats with the new album.

There’s Nothing resembling complex harmony or carefully thought out anything.
It’s a cacophony of Crap...

First heard Incantation in High school back in 87 and they are still kicking ass.
It is always a pleasure to indulge in a band that takes music creation seriously. They consistently produce incredible DM.

- LYRICS -
1) Offerings (The Swarm) IV:
Bloated corpses burst on waves
Flames reducing ashen knaves
Lightning ignites screaming slaves
Fleeing vermin from temples to caves
Sanctuary is oblivion
Flee or resist it profits none
Source of power is chosen
Divinity must be undone
Skies bombard the cosmos to earth
Festering in grace where they fall
Despairing mortals wail as collected
A purpose beyond death they fulfill
Cowering in vain
Torrent of gore
Die with your savior
Despairing mortals wail as collected
A purpose beyond death they fulfill
Force sacrificial to their doom
Ushered to this sunken tomb
Drowned in utter smite
Burning, thee of holy light
A salient of souls, the devout forfeits
Putrid ruin, remains for maggots
Eyeless molten miasma of spirits
Conducting godly zealots and prophets
2)Concordat (The Pact) I :
Epiphany of enlightenment
From living death, so dormant
Can not the flesh be more?
Can ritual open the door?
To the desires for war
To the goals laid afore
As mist, then shadow, it did writhe and twist
Tranquil disciples, convert from subsist
Materialized, approaching the acolyte
Beyond this mortality, "I shall grant sight"
"Sight can be blinded, I demand the night!"
"Desire to dwell where my brethren hail?"
"Not dwell, but rule"
A divus to prevail
Blood flows, punctured flesh
Helix the blackened souls
Seal the pact
No penitence for will
Alas, ascension to unfold
3)Chalice (Vessel Consanguineous) VIII :
Torrid amidst the stars now bares
Her eyes hold twilight she ensnares
Spasms of lust, radiate her chalice
Rousing charms, correct this carcass
A prison reserved, for the swine
"Come, triumph over their divine"
Of one blood, vessel overpours
As Nuit she arches cosmic whores
Countless taunt behind gossamer veils
Succubus, banshee and siren hails
Not but night between flesh and moon
Frenzied dance enticing those who hewn
Of one blood, vessel overpours
As Nuit she arches
Desire to cast down old gods for a new
Aroused impurity the orgy shall ensue
4) Homunculus (Spirit Made Flesh) IX :
Legs spread welcoming their onslaught
Impaled seed divulge what was taught
Aeons of evil in each scale
Fangs, horns, hooves and tail
Chthonic scourge sings
Lashing life to leathered wings
Demonic flails rip, creating new flesh
Branded sigils, awakened will shall mesh
Dominion over earth, from beyond it will shun
Abysmal howls from the mouth of black
Ancestral gails breathe sight to the godly demoniac
All are quantums of this abomination
A parchment of cosmic membrane
Foreboding symbols glare unholy bane
Discipline to purpose, surpass existence
Herald of power, boundless
5) Invocation (Chthonic Merge) X:
Inestimable power from their piety
Allegorical in symbols, script or plea
Gods now labor unwary of my supremacy
Evident in all evil fed by the devotee
My cults carve my image
Donned in hooded homage
Keepers of blackened knowledge
Omnipresent, celestial and dreadful
Priests invoke, reciprocity of mortals
Shuddering earth my voice vengeful
Vessel's voice deteriorates to regal
"Alas, man and cosmos is my temple"
6)Megaron (Sunken Chamber) VI :
The burned need not be anointed
The drowned rot on coasts, bloated
No libations for the heavenly acrid
Purity has left the foul in blood
Those of the swarm, created by smite
A bare pyramid of this sacrificial rite
Descend by chain to those who dream
Whose tendrils writhe a silent scream
Crushed in this dungeon of sorcery
Anguished to the ruin of the sea
In caverns where the doomed be
Relish their agony in a lightless abyss
Above, their frames rot in holy bliss
To awaken your visions to my plot
Accept this megaron, begin the onslaught
The black shall indeed set us free
"Let this sacrifice fall unto thee"
7) Convulse (Words of Power) III :
"Let the poison resonate"
Welling the words from hate
No sign of the divine
Not a shred left behind
The shape that's beheld
All but evil expelled
Force fueled by martyrs and fallen
Virile to mold the form to demon
Effete creation by womb so barren
Genesis pillar and chalice inception
Oceans of tar forth the formula
A current of lifeless magma
Choking your divinity, foul larva
Carnage composed into militia
A nebulous swells from the omega
"Now to create my apocrypha"
Mire deepens
Winds of creation
8)Altar (Unify in Carnage) V :
Decay underfoot
Coated in soot
Drowned in tidal fury
Crushed to holy debris
Vacant eyes tell not
Inner divinity sought
Altar of flesh beheld
Within a sacrament dwelled
To rip divinity from the felled
Behind this altar I reside
Beyond vacant megaron sighs
We demand their descent to us
So shall they plummet into darkness
Vacant eyes tell not
Inner divinity sought
9) Exile (Defy the False) II :
As a raptured plague it infects
Scorching the soul of beliefs
Demonic, mortal here intersects
Tearing out mercies and griefs
Away with commandments
Heed not lying testaments
Death to your subservience
A manifesto of quintessence
Strains depart in brilliance
Blackness rife with vengeance
Reborn
In scorn
Centuries pass as instants
As one attains banishments
As a raptured plague it infects
Scorching the soul of beliefs
Demonic, mortal here intersects
Edifice barren to mortality
Catalyze words of adversary
"Harken unto, unto me"
10) Circle (Eye of Ascension) VII :
Thrice the lid of my eye enshrouds
Nucleus to a squall of clouds
Through torrents of swirling black
Outpour demoniac
A vision imbued by inaudible chants
Dimensional demons of air, grants
Greeting deep ones misting the flesh
Gives license to intermesh
Grotesque desire I'll forge
Within this storm
Ritual circles... the mind's tendrils
Their eclipse chants the craft so clear
A vessel to traverse spheres
P.S. : copied them all from metallum btw.

Many thanks for posting this Opvs, i got almost the whole collection even some items still closed but now i can"t buy a single cd here in Argentina.
For you to know: 1 u$s = 750 + $ ours....
So sorry to hear about this problem.😮

Great production on this album!
Thanks Dan killed it.
Il faut absolument que cet album arrive chez moi . Il est vraiment intéressant et superbement réalisé.
Du vraiment très lourd
the last one has a strong Cathedral vibe in it.
Interesting Comparison🤘
@@Ibexmoonrecords I like your music very much!🤘
Cathedral was very heavily inspired by Celtic frost, which is what I believe you can hear on Circle. Fantastic closer by the way!
Ha the first one gives me a My Dying Bride vibe
Received my vinyl in the post Sunday.
Awesome 🤘

🤘🤘
Masterpiece!
🤘🤘
this sounds like real metal recorded with real drums and real amps. glad something like this still exists. ( and if it's not they fooled me 😂)
We are the real deal🤘🤣
@@IbexmoonrecordsThanks for the reply. After my initial comment I read a couple interviews where you detailed some of the tracking. To be sure, I don't claim I can identify digital amps or drum replacement and quantizing all the time, this recording just sounded less tinkered with than the current standard, which I really appreciate.
Not that it matters all the time, as far as I know some of my favorite albums have been recorded with digital drum pads (Sunlight Studios) Also I learned that this album along with the last couple of albums is a Dan Swanö production, which I wouldn't have guessed at all.
If I ever get the chance I'll catch you live here in Germany!
try Burial Hordes - Ruins and related band Embrace of Thorns - Entropy Dynamics if you like this.
Great album!
🤘🤘
Better than everything else out rn, let’s go
Thanks brother 🤘
Got the lp. Love the production.
Hell yeah 🤘
Hell yes!
Hell yeah brother🤘🤘
Incantation revigored and its death metal sounding keenly in this album.

Legends of Death Metal!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Thanks 🤘
Iconic Metal de la Muerte🤘Immolation and ....well nothing better then your attitude💯young people need to listen this and they will embrace it🤘👊🖤
Obra maestra!!!! 🤘
🤘🤘
Incantation never fails to deliver top tier Death Metal 🔥
Does anyone know what the roman numerals in each song mean and why the order seems random rather than going from I to X? Couldn't find any information on this so far...
"It's the order of the concept if you want to listen or read in that sequence; that is the guide.
they really never disappoint huh
🤘🤘
Проходной альбом, слабее предидущих, но планку качества они держат, послушать можно.
This album totally kicks ass!!!
Hails! From Puerto Rico 🇵🇷
Hails🤘🤘
Convulse is my favorite off this album
🤘🤘 Awesome 🤘🤘
between Incantation, Dying Fetus and Cryptopsy all with new albums out, I’m gonna have to be sold on this one. what other new releases are worth it? I should mention Non Est Deus but that was a few months ago.
That new Suffocation song makes the album look promising ...
Incantation kicked fucking ass again! Beautiful album - dark, atmospheric and epic! John’s vocals are still here - deep and powerful. And I like what that new guy on the guitar, Luke, did - harmonies, melodies, fills, solos… Great addition to the line-up that made Incantation stronger! Need to give Luke’s band Dismemberment a try!
Helluva album! You rule!
Hail from UKraine!
Thank you so much brother 🤘
make sure to hear kyle's band Shed the Skin, at least the first EP and albums 2 and 3.
Badass album!
Thanks🤘
Yay! These guys have been bringing it since day 1. Fucking love Incantation. NYDM for life
We’ve raced slot cars at Rock Fantasy. Hails to Steve and Incantation!
Got my Vinyl today!Killer!!!
Hell yeah! awesome!
@@Ibexmoonrecords was nice to talk to you last year at In Flammen Festival!This years Show was KILLER again!
