incantation are true masters of their craft, I discovered them bc John McEntee is my uncle. he is such a nice guy i was always amazed at the sound of his music. definitely fun going to holiday dinners and talking to him when he was their when i was a kid
Anybody else want to to see an AxCx discography ranking? I have a feeling that video would be five minutes of laughing at song titles and talking about Seth's legendary drug habits. Though I suspect Picnic of Love and Fuckin A would end up pretty high in the rankings.
I love Incantation, one of the hardest working bands in Death Metal! Diabolical Conquest is my #1 pick too, I actually saw them that year(1998,w/ Morbid Angel and Nile). I just saw them again last summer and they still bring it live!!! Great video keep it up!!!👹
Thank you for shouting out The Chasm. They are THE most criminally underrated death metal group on earth! Please take the thralls advice on that one folks!
THE CHASM one of the best bands coming from Aztec lands Mexico ! Daniel did a fantastic job on vocals and I think Diabolical Conquest is the best album of Incantation!
Got to mention Daniel Corchado's previous band Cenotaph 'The Gloomy Reflections Of Our Hidden Sorrows' 1992 album also...talk about a criminally underrated album!! They should have been signed by Nuclear Blast or Drowned Productions, etc!!
Good job guys. I love when yall do album rankings. Glad to see their latest album get some love. I was jamming that everyday for awhile when it came out.
Necrotic Nick- Thanks, man! I thought Sect of Vile Divinities was one of their strongest efforts. It was just a touch more melodic but it didn't skimp on the brutality one bit. Definitely stay tuned because we've got Entombed/ Entombed AD up next for rankings.
Damn, you guys are hitting all the important offerings with these Albums Ranked breakdowns. Incantation might be my fave of all time Death Metal band... and even that is a tough decision. 1. Diabolical Conquest. - Perfection or near it. And yes, I wish they played Desecration live.... 2. Mortal Throne of Nazerene (or its alt Mix reissue) Though Demonic Incarnate is a little better on the older mix for the lead sizzles. 3. Vanquish in Vengeance. I mean who doesn't love Ascend into the Eternal's breakdown lead/riff harmony? Title track is another great John riff craft masterwork. Pure Ambiance throughout. 4. Onward to Golgotha. The yardstick of all Death Doom releases 92 onwards. Memorable songs throughout. 5. Dirges of Elysium. Returns to the Mortal Throne filthy slow riffs mixed with fast riffs. I add a slight touch of post reverb effect in my mp3 player and it feels really ill. 6. Decimate Christendom. Thorns of Everlasting Persecution of course. Messy, thrashy death riffs and great voxs from John. 7. Sect of Vile Divinities. This should be higher. It does everything right. I just like the above albums better. Amazing to have this much potency this far into band career. 8. Profane Nexus. Really like the production on this album. Lux Sepulcri and Messiah Nostrum just rock this record hard. Standout songs. 9. Infernal Storm. Nocturnal Kingdom... of course. 10. Primordial Domination. Hailed Babylon is the reason I bought this album. It is actually underrated. John and Kyle really did some variable stuff here. 11. Blasphemy - Great songs but bad production. Should really get a proper remix and remaster to give it oomph. Once a Holy Throne of Course!
Necrotic Nick- Immolation is definitely one I want to tackle in the future. I'm looking forward to that new album coming out. They just dropped a video for a new track today I believe.
Necrotic Nick- Eventually we're going to do something like that again we're just trying to figure out a different spin we can put on it so we don't get a lot of retread.
Immolation and Incantation have been my favorite Death Metal bands for years. Incantation reminds me of the Overkill of Death Metal. Because their albums are all consistent and similar, but both bands have had a habit of releasing a really good album after a mediocre album like one album is a just a warm up practice for the real album
Yes, finally an Incantation album ranking. Just like Asphyx and Autopsy, I love their death-doom sound. Just like Immolation, they've always been consistent and always have good albums so ranking them was difficult, but here would be my ranking: 11. Blasphemy 10. Primordial Domination 9. Decimate Christendom 8. Dirges of Elysium 7. Profane Nexus 6. Sect of Vile Divinities 5. Vanquish in Vengeance 4. Mortal Throne of Nazarene 3. Onward to Golgotha 2. The Infernal Storm 1. Diabolical Conquest
Dude, if you wanna listen to a certain era of Incantation, go with the John McEntee-led period! Craig Pillard, who was on the first two records, has two projects, STURMFUHRER and Disma! Pillard is a giant turd for one of his projects! He's anti-Semitic!
Necrotic Nick- Not a problem, man! This band pretty much opened me up to deathdoom and filthier death metal way back. It's amazing how much stuff you hear in this bands discography that tons of bands emulate now.
Necrotic Nick- @Robert Sparling, again while Pillard is giant piece of shit, he was on some killer albums. Those first 2 Incantation albums are classics and that Disma album is amazing and still worth jamming.
@@thrallsofmetal You're welcome my friend! Haha thank you I appreciate it I have heard that the last year of the 80's was a very good time for Death Metal releases
I've been getting into these guys more and more over the past year. I'm late to the party, but I've got 9 of their LP's on wax, and love them. They've usually got the amazing art to go along with that killer music.
Necrotic Nick- I've been a fan for a awhile and honestly it's cool just listening to this band and really hearing how influential they've been to death metal in general. There's so many bands that love that cavernous deathdoom sound and I can't see how they weren't influenced by these guys.
I just started really getting into Incantation. I got the last album back in 2020 and really dug it. What I've heard of the new one sounds fantastic. I will agree, "Diabolical Conquest" is incredible. I also bought "Onward to Golgotha" and that is bad ass too. Great ranking video as always. Looking forward to the next one. Judas Priest, I believe.
I discovered these guys in the mid 2000s and Diabolical Conquest has always been my go to record. It was very cool to learn that they're hometown heroes as well \m/
Another awesome video!!! Love these :) "Upon The Throne Of Apocalypse" is my favorite. Raw and unleashed death metal. My intro to Incantation was comp tracks from this release. I felt everything else was too over produced. This mix is 100X better that than the other
Necrotic Nick- We'll definitely do Immolation at some point but since they're in the studio working on new material we'll probably wait till that is released. Next up though we have Entombed/ Entombed AD which should be a lot of fun.
Necrotic Nick- Thanks, man! I'm glad you dug it. We're going to wait until Immolation drops their new beast of an album since they're in the studio right now and then throw them on the list again. That'll be a tough one as well.
Strangely I only own the first and the last Incantation albums lol, but I enjoy both, and this ranking has spurred me on to delve deeper into their discography, so thankyou for that!
Necrotic Nick- Dude, this isn't a bad time to shop for some of the ones you're missing. I think Decimate Christiandom just got a reissue recently as well as some other I believe. The whole discography is worth owning for sure.
Necrotic Nick- Thanks, man! We appreciate that! This is one of those bands where I think you can start just about anywhere since all their albums are pretty damn good. We're holding off on Immolation and Obituary since they're both in the studio and we want to include the new ones in the ranking after we review them. We do have Entombed/ Entombed AD coming up next though.
Mortal Throne of Nazarene is one of my favorite albums of all times, so it's obviously number 1 for me here. #1 Mortal Throne of Nazarene #2 Onward To Golgotha / Diabolical Conquest #3 The Infernal Storm When John took over the vocals the band changed. It's still fucking great, but can't compare it to their earlier albums. Pillard, Saez and Corchado handle the vocals so much better in my opinion.
Necrotic Nick- Diabolical's songwriting has always stood out to me as some of their best. Honestly, I think John McEntee was the best in terms of vocals. I think he does more with them rather than just the low, gurgled delivery. They all did a great job though. This band is pretty much fantastic on every level.
11. Decimate christendom,10. Primordial Domination, 9. Blasphemy, 8. Infernal storm, 7. Mortal throne of nazarene, 6. Onward to golgotha, 5. Diabolical Conquest, 4 Sect of vile divinities, 3 Profane Nexus, 2. Vanquish in vengence and my favorite from them, Dirges of Elysium.
Onward was the first one I owned I bought it from a store called Coconuts in '93/'94 I think I was 13 at the time. Doesn't feel like that long ago but I guess it has been, time flies when ur jamming to metal. It's funny the last album I pre-ordered the CD with Vinyl bundle and then a couple weeks later I received the green cassette tape in the metalhead box. Tough ranking though, I have trouble picking and choosing which ones I love more cause they're all good.
Necrotic Nick- Dude! We used to have a Coconuts here back in the 90's and I shopped there all the time. I'm reasonably sure I started with Mortal Throne of Nazarene, Diabolical Conquest or The Infernal Storm. It's hard to remember since the album covers kinda blended together in my head and after I got one I got the others not long after. I actually got an orange cassette for the last one in the metalhead box not long after I got my CD and shirt bundle for the new one. lol. This one was tough for sure. Too many great albums which isn't a bad problem for a band to have.
Entertainment review show guys. I got into the first 2 albums in the early 90s but I did not keep up with them. Lately I started seeing John on Rock Fantasy and SOT so I started getting into there most recent album...need to check out the rest. Suggestions for future album ranking shows. Carcass, Entombed, D.R.I., C.O.C. Primus, Danzig \m/ \m/
Necrotic Nick- Thanks, man! John's a solid dude and I'd love to have him come by and chat here sometime. He's got a wealth of knowledge about the scene and we'd love to pick his brain. Actually Entombed/ Entombed AD is the next one on the docket so definitely stay tuned.
@@thrallsofmetal At the end of that Entombed ranking, you're probably gonna say "Unfortunately, LG Petrov died in 2021 of cancer and that put the kibosh on Entombed AD", followed by Shredlord saying "RIP. RIP LG!"
Another great review gentleman. Diabolical Conquest tops it for me as well. Excellent job! Begging you guys for a Dying Fetus album ranking. WE NEED IT!!!!
Incantation is a Great band, love them. The Chasm rule. 11 Vanquish in Vengeance 10 The Infernal Storm 9 Blasphemy 8 Onward to Golgotha 7 Sect of Vile Divinities 6 Primordial Domination 5 Decimate Christendom 4 Mortal Throne of Nazarene 3 Dirges of Elysium 2 Profane Nexus 1 Diabolical Conquest I think an Immolation ranking would be sick.
Necrotic Nick- Man, I'm kinda surprised to see Vanquish in Vengeance so low but still, this band really has nothing but solid albums in my opinion which made this one difficult. We definitely want to do Immolation but since they're working on a new album we want to wait until that one drops before doing that one.
Tough time ranking the entire thing since they're mostly all amazing. However... 5. Sect of Vile Divinities 4. Dirges of Elysium 3. Golgotha 2. Diabolical Conquest 1. Mortal Throne of Nazarene
@@robertsparling917 If you count the song called "Chris Barnes Is A Pussy" then yes. 😂 Although Seth did say Murdered in the Basement was his favorite Six Feet Under Song. Kevin Sharp from Brutal Truth was also a frequent target of Seth's, even though they actually seemed to get along.
Blasphemy is one those albums I have a soft spot for. I didn't like it at first but over time, it grew on me alot. The production is indeed muddy but also typical for the time. I just think the songs and melodies stick with me whereas the 2 after this don't. Idk sometimes an album can just speak to you where it misses alot of other listeners. Not calling it their best just a solid release that gets overlooked alot. Other than that your list is spot on as always.
Surprised to see you guys didn't care for Blasphemy. It's always been one of my favorites. I've always said that Incantation's best albums all came out in a year ending in 2. Onward in '92, Blasphemy in '02, and Vanquish in '12. They're putting out another new album next year so needless to say I'm even more stoked than usual. Also, no mention of The Forsaken Mourning of Angelic Anguish (that I noticed hehe) makes me sad. Really killer EP in my opinion!!
Necrotic Nick- This was one of those were I liked all of their material but unfortunately some had to fall despite being solid as hell. Blasphemy got the short end of the stick for me when it came down to this even though it's loaded with killer songs. I'm always down for new Incantation especially since Sect of Vile Divinities was such a killer album. Yeah, we missed at least mentioning that EP unfortunately.
Necrotic Nick- I really can't remember which one I got first but it was either Diabolical Conquest, The Infernal Storm or Mortal Throne of Nazarene. The album covers kinda blended together for me. I think Diabolical was near the end of their initial run with Relapse actually.
@@thrallsofmetaldefinite, looking at their discography, they have a bunch of early stuff. I only ended up getting a few of their albums. Good for a specific mood.
I can't say which one is No. 1, depends on my mood, but Infernal storm is the first one I dismember and it is one of my favorite, with drums it is sometimes Curlossy Suffocation feeling in it. I also like the sound of bass on Infernal storm. Great review so many people have a different taste of music. Stay brutal
Necrotic Nick- This one was tough since I love every album and there's a lot of them that could have been my #1 for any multitude of reasons. Golgotha was close at one point just for the flat out old school death metal vibe but Diabolical just covers everything I love about Incantation. Thanks for watching, man! Brutal is they way here for sure!
Looks like I'll be binging Incantation the rest of the week as I haven't heard some of these albums in years. But from memory: 1. Diabolical Conquest 2. Onward To Golgotha 3. Vanquish In Vengeance 4. Decimate Christendom (so glad this is getting reissued) 5. Sect Of Vile Divinities 6. The Infernal Storm 7. Mortal Throne Of Nazarene 8. Profane Nexus 9. Dirges Of Elysium 10. Primordial Domination 11. Blasphemy
Necrotic Nick- Not a bad band to binge at all. I had a lot of fun going through all these albums and just listening to all that sick, evil shit all the time.
Necrotic Nick- We have Entombed/ Entombed AD up next. Immolation is working on a new album so we'll probably wait until that drops before doing a ranking.
Necrotic Nick- The only times I've seen Incantation Sonny was on lead guitars and they dude killed it every time. He didn't have the double neck which would have been pretty damn cool.
@@thrallsofmetal It was ridiculous. I forget the name of his band, but just at a bar show. I was fairly young at the time and still remeber how bad ass that was.
Necrotic Nick- I do love that album and it really stands out in the discography. As much as I love it though I'm a sucker for the deathdoom elements that came in later. It just made them even heavier in my opinion.
I never really got into this band i did see them with dark funeral a few years ago and they were great but i think ill look more into them now. Btw that devil face when it was 666 was amazing
Necrotic Nick- This band is totally worth the deep dive. Pretty much every cavernous death metal act pretty much is inspired by Incantation I'd say. Yeah, I saw that we had the 6's lined up so I thought I'd have some fun with it. lol
Incantation rules... A few band suggestions for ranking videos if I may... W.A.S.P., Paradise Lost, Judas Priest, Accept, Bathory, Carcass, Exodus, Helloween, Kreator, Mayhem, Queensryche, Sodom, Voivod... All these bands surprised their fans a couple of times in their career and some turned out to be great, some to be disasters. And to make ranking the albums a really difficult task you could go for Overkill or Motörhead...
Necrotic Nick- It's definitely on the list but we're waiting till they drop their new one before taking that one on. They're in the studio now so that new release should be next year.
Other than the bottom two this was very difficult. Looking forward to hearing everyone's thoughts. 11. Blasphemy 10. Primordial Domination 9. The Infernal Storm 8. Profane Nexus 7. Vanquish In Vengeance 6. Decimate Christendom 5. The Mortal Throne of Nazarene 4. Dirges of Elysium 3. Onward To Golgotha 2. Sect of Vile Divinities 1. Diabolical Conquest
Necrotic Nick- This one was pretty tough. I might be the only that really digs Primordial Domination it seems. I just dig the more groove oriented sound on that one. This band has such a killer discography though.
Hey Nick my bro I've just got to tell that I love onward to golgotha and diabolical conquest but the latest album SECT OF VILE DEITIES is totally awesome whatvalbums do you like let me know what's your favorite incantation album keep it metal bro 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎 Opps I just realized that Nick loves both diabolical conquest and SECT of VILE DEITIES is totally awesome
@@thrallsofmetal their catalog is huge and one of the best underrated bands that never gets mention outhere. Another good ranking talk, Malevolent Creation albums
1. Mortal Throne of Nazarene 1A. Upon the Throne of Apocalypse 2. Diabolical Conquest 3. Onward to Golgotha 4. The Forsaken Mourning of Angelic Anguish (EP) after those they're all pretty even
I don't see how anyone hears much similarity between Incantation and Immolation aside from the fact that they both band names start with "I", have four syllables and end in "ation". To me their sounds are VERY different
First I saw them was with morbid Angel, Golgotha tour cycle, pillard on vox 🤘🍻🇨🇦 crushed, but now they still fucking frack our earthly plain, remember revenant....how's the fishin hank!!??? Ohhh the history , bass master , John I bet is a fishing dude
I only have Sect of Vile Divinities. I'd heard of them before but never listened. I think I thought they were a black metal band or something, lol. I saw them in late 2019 with Morbid Angel and thought it was a good set so I picked up sect when they released it the next year. Its super heavy and evil and weird sounding and I fucking love it. And holy hell those are some of the best song titles I've ever seen! I can't wait to dig further in to their discography soon. Just been preoccupied with all of the new releases being dropped on us this year. Gonna get Golgotha next and I know it won't disappoint.
Necrotic Nick- I saw them on that tour with Morbid Angel as well. Great set. I've been a fan for a long time and between them and Immolation they really expanded my listening when it came down to death metal in general. It might have been my first real exposure to deathdoom honestly. That new one is one of their best in my opinion so you picked a great place to start. They have an incredible discography in general so there really are no wrong albums to get in my opinion. Golgotha is a beast though so you targeted a monster for you next one.
@@thrallsofmetal Pretty much everyone says that's the go to so I figured it's a good place to start. Funny thing is I've been a huge Immolation fan since I discovered death metal in 03' but somehow Incantation flew under my radar this whole time. It's cool to still be discovering new old school bands at this point though, lol. And you guys have spurred me to quit sleeping on it and finally get me some more after 9 months of listening to sects.
Necrotic Nick- I do have a favorite but I really enjoy all their albums honestly. I think this was on the same level as Cannibal Corpse in terms of difficulty. They're both super consistent and didn't change around their sound much or buckle to the pressure of trends either. I love bands like that but it makes them tougher to rank for sure.
Just saw these guy live front row in Arizona last week. Here’s my rankings. 1. Onward to Golgotha 2. Diabolical Conquest 3. Mortal Throne of Nazarene 4. Sect of Vile Divinities 5. Infernal Storm 6. Decimate Christendom 7. Blasphemy 8. Dirges of Elysium 9. Vanquish in Vengeance 10. Primordial Domination 11. Profane Nexus
There has never been a single album ever recorded that is more f-ing evil than Mortal Throne of Nazarene. That record is pure unadulterated disease from below
Necrotic Nick- Next one is actually Entombed/ Entombed AD. Since Immolation is in the studio we want to wait until the new one drops before throwing them back on the list.
Necrotic Nick- Well, missed that one I guess. lol. Sorry, man. Jon was pretty exhausted from work and might have just missed that one. I know when we saw you with them in Flint with Dying Fetus, Gatecreeper and Genocide Pact you guys tore it the fuck up. Thanks for commenting, bro!
Necrotic Nick- Glad you dug that. Shred's Italian so we wanted to do something fun with that. I'll definitely be on the lookout for Arise from Worms though. Stay brutal, bro!
I only have the early Relapse records releases and like them. Saw them play main support for Morbid Angel Nov. '19, and they were the better band that night.
Necrotic Nick- I saw them on that same tour in Detroit and they killed it. It's definitely worth picking up pretty much their entire discography in my opinion but I'm a giant fanboy.
Necrotic Nick- This one was a tough one to rank because I love all their albums but Diabolical Conquest has pretty much always been my go to. I do love the shit out of Onward to Golgotha though. I like that it's a more straight forward death metal album.
incantation are true masters of their craft, I discovered them bc John McEntee is my uncle. he is such a nice guy i was always amazed at the sound of his music. definitely fun going to holiday dinners and talking to him when he was their when i was a kid
Wow man
Wow that's awesome
You guys are absolutely killer at this. This was helpful a few years after the first post. Thanks again fellas!
Diabolical Conquest is such an incredible record, definitely my number one for so many reasons.
Kyle from Incantation has a mustache.
Necrotic Nick- I love that I know that reference. lol
I miss Seth! I wonder how he would deal with all this modern PC BS? lol
Anybody else want to to see an AxCx discography ranking? I have a feeling that video would be five minutes of laughing at song titles and talking about Seth's legendary drug habits. Though I suspect Picnic of Love and Fuckin A would end up pretty high in the rankings.
Didn’t know someone commented this already. A true person of culture.
I love Incantation, one of the hardest working bands in Death Metal! Diabolical Conquest is my #1 pick too, I actually saw them that year(1998,w/ Morbid Angel and Nile). I just saw them again last summer and they still bring it live!!! Great video keep it up!!!👹
Thank you for shouting out The Chasm. They are THE most criminally underrated death metal group on earth! Please take the thralls advice on that one folks!
Necrotic Nick- They flat out destroyed at Maryland Deathfest in 2019. Like jaw hit the floor levels of live sets.
Can't agree more! They're fantastic!
THE CHASM one of the best bands coming from Aztec lands Mexico ! Daniel did a fantastic job on vocals and I think Diabolical Conquest is the best album of Incantation!
Got to mention Daniel Corchado's previous band Cenotaph 'The Gloomy Reflections Of Our Hidden Sorrows' 1992 album also...talk about a criminally underrated album!! They should have been signed by Nuclear Blast or Drowned Productions, etc!!
most overrated mexican dm band. mortuary, blackthorn, shub niggurath are all better, but everyone only remeberes abiut the chasm

5. Dirges of Elysium. Returns to the Mortal Throne filthy slow riffs mixed with fast riffs. I add a slight touch of post reverb effect in my mp3 player and it feels really ill.
6. Decimate Christendom. Thorns of Everlasting Persecution of course. Messy, thrashy death riffs and great voxs from John.
7. Sect of Vile Divinities. This should be higher. It does everything right. I just like the above albums better. Amazing to have this much potency this far into band career.

11. Blasphemy - Great songs but bad production. Should really get a proper remix and remaster to give it oomph. Once a Holy Throne of Course!
hopefully you‘ll do Immolation Album Ranking next ! :)
and as always, good job guys ! love to watch your stuff !!
Necrotic Nick- Immolation is definitely one I want to tackle in the future. I'm looking forward to that new album coming out. They just dropped a video for a new track today I believe.
I love the random times I'm daydrinking and a discography ranking pops up.
Necrotic Nick- Day drunk on cavernous death metal. Sounds like a good time to me. lol
Can you guys bring back the Viewer Response vids? Those Album vs Album/Band vs Band videos were the best 🤘
I would love to see a part 2 of the viewers pick for worst metal album reaction as well as viewer response for most unsettling album cover!
Necrotic Nick- Eventually we're going to do something like that again we're just trying to figure out a different spin we can put on it so we don't get a lot of retread.
Great ranking. I certainly defer to your greater knowledge on this subject. Top work.

This is a band I’ve been meaning to dive into for YEARS So thank you for this guide lol

Strangely I only own the first and the last Incantation albums lol, but I enjoy both, and this ranking has spurred me on to delve deeper into their discography, so thankyou for that!
Necrotic Nick- Dude, this isn't a bad time to shop for some of the ones you're missing. I think Decimate Christiandom just got a reissue recently as well as some other I believe. The whole discography is worth owning for sure.
Great video as always! Now I actually know where to start with this band lol. You guys should do a Immolation or Obituary ranking next.
Necrotic Nick- Thanks, man! We appreciate that! This is one of those bands where I think you can start just about anywhere since all their albums are pretty damn good. We're holding off on Immolation and Obituary since they're both in the studio and we want to include the new ones in the ranking after we review them. We do have Entombed/ Entombed AD coming up next though.
Come on - the production on Mortal Throne is PERFECT!
great discussion and ranking 👍👍
Mortal Throne of Nazarene is one of my favorite albums of all times, so it's obviously number 1 for me here.
#1 Mortal Throne of Nazarene
#2 Onward To Golgotha / Diabolical Conquest
#3 The Infernal Storm
When John took over the vocals the band changed. It's still fucking great, but can't compare it to their earlier albums. Pillard, Saez and Corchado handle the vocals so much better in my opinion.
Necrotic Nick- Diabolical's songwriting has always stood out to me as some of their best. Honestly, I think John McEntee was the best in terms of vocals. I think he does more with them rather than just the low, gurgled delivery. They all did a great job though. This band is pretty much fantastic on every level.
You guys should consider doing a defeated sanity ranking at some point
Necrotic Nick- I wouldn't mind doing that one. Might not be the whole gang on that one since they're pretty out there as far as their style.
11. Decimate christendom,10. Primordial Domination, 9. Blasphemy, 8. Infernal storm, 7. Mortal throne of nazarene, 6. Onward to golgotha, 5. Diabolical Conquest, 4 Sect of vile divinities, 3 Profane Nexus, 2. Vanquish in vengence and my favorite from them, Dirges of Elysium.
Diabolical Conquest is a complete masterpiece! I bought it in 2007 and listen to it after work and DAMN. That gloomy atmosphere invaded my room...
Deliverance of Horrific Prophecies is one of my all time favorite death metal songs. A sweet lullaby that soothes the soul…
Diabolical Conquest hands down the best incantation album .
Onward was the first one I owned I bought it from a store called Coconuts in '93/'94 I think I was 13 at the time. Doesn't feel like that long ago but I guess it has been, time flies when ur jamming to metal. It's funny the last album I pre-ordered the CD with Vinyl bundle and then a couple weeks later I received the green cassette tape in the metalhead box. Tough ranking though, I have trouble picking and choosing which ones I love more cause they're all good.
Necrotic Nick- Dude! We used to have a Coconuts here back in the 90's and I shopped there all the time. I'm reasonably sure I started with Mortal Throne of Nazarene, Diabolical Conquest or The Infernal Storm. It's hard to remember since the album covers kinda blended together in my head and after I got one I got the others not long after. I actually got an orange cassette for the last one in the metalhead box not long after I got my CD and shirt bundle for the new one. lol. This one was tough for sure. Too many great albums which isn't a bad problem for a band to have.
What is the song playing in the background, around 6:30 into the video?
Necrotic Nick- I honestly can't quite peg it. We had an Incantation playlist running on Spotify during this video so it's hard to say
Entertainment review show guys. I got into the first 2 albums in the early 90s but I did not keep up with them. Lately I started seeing John on Rock Fantasy and SOT so I started getting into there most recent album...need to check out the rest.
Suggestions for future album ranking shows.
Carcass, Entombed, D.R.I., C.O.C.
Primus, Danzig \m/ \m/
Necrotic Nick- Thanks, man! John's a solid dude and I'd love to have him come by and chat here sometime. He's got a wealth of knowledge about the scene and we'd love to pick his brain. Actually Entombed/ Entombed AD is the next one on the docket so definitely stay tuned.
@@thrallsofmetal At the end of that Entombed ranking, you're probably gonna say "Unfortunately, LG Petrov died in 2021 of cancer and that put the kibosh on Entombed AD", followed by Shredlord saying "RIP. RIP LG!"
Necrotic Nick- Probably with a bit more feeling but yeah there's no way we can't bring it up.
Looking foward to an Entombed discography rating. I was all in on the first 3 albums and the Crawl ep.
Incantation is playing Diabolical Conquest in entirety at Metal and beer fest 2023 in Philly can’t wait
Gorguts is doing a special considered dead and obscura set too gonna be wicked
I've been listening to incantation since 1991 you guys are some youngsters
Another great review gentleman. Diabolical Conquest tops it for me as well. Excellent job! Begging you guys for a Dying Fetus album ranking. WE NEED IT!!!!
Incantation is a Great band, love them. The Chasm rule.
11 Vanquish in Vengeance
10 The Infernal Storm
9 Blasphemy
8 Onward to Golgotha
7 Sect of Vile Divinities
6 Primordial Domination
5 Decimate Christendom
4 Mortal Throne of Nazarene
3 Dirges of Elysium
2 Profane Nexus
1 Diabolical Conquest
I think an Immolation ranking would be sick.
Necrotic Nick- Man, I'm kinda surprised to see Vanquish in Vengeance so low but still, this band really has nothing but solid albums in my opinion which made this one difficult. We definitely want to do Immolation but since they're working on a new album we want to wait until that one drops before doing that one.
PLEASEEEEEEEE do a Immolation ranking🔥🔥🔥🔥
Please do an Immolation ranking!
Greetings from Philippines!!! I have all albums and ep's of incantation!!! They are legends
Tough time ranking the entire thing since they're mostly all amazing. However...
5. Sect of Vile Divinities
4. Dirges of Elysium
3. Golgotha
2. Diabolical Conquest
1. Mortal Throne of Nazarene
Necrotic Nick- Yeah, this was rough since they're some damn consistent. Even my least favorite was still solid.
Seth Putnam got me into this band. He informed me that Kyle has a mustache and I had to find out more about this band. 😂
Necrotic Nick- I didn't hear that song until after I had already got into Incantation. Seth was right though, Kyle does have a mustache. lol
Didn't Seth make fun of Chris Barnes once?
@@robertsparling917 If you count the song called "Chris Barnes Is A Pussy" then yes. 😂 Although Seth did say Murdered in the Basement was his favorite Six Feet Under Song. Kevin Sharp from Brutal Truth was also a frequent target of Seth's, even though they actually seemed to get along.
@@Madhouse_Media Yes, Putnam roasted Barnes in the song "Chris Barnes is a Pussy".
@@robertsparling917 We can safely assume that
Blasphemy is one those albums I have a soft spot for. I didn't like it at first but over time, it grew on me alot. The production is indeed muddy but also typical for the time. I just think the songs and melodies stick with me whereas the 2 after this don't. Idk sometimes an album can just speak to you where it misses alot of other listeners. Not calling it their best just a solid release that gets overlooked alot. Other than that your list is spot on as always.
Love Diabolical Conquest 🤘🤘🤘
Necrotic Nick- Amazing album from start to finish. I had a hunch it'd be my number one going into this one.
Surprised to see you guys didn't care for Blasphemy. It's always been one of my favorites. I've always said that Incantation's best albums all came out in a year ending in 2. Onward in '92, Blasphemy in '02, and Vanquish in '12. They're putting out another new album next year so needless to say I'm even more stoked than usual. Also, no mention of The Forsaken Mourning of Angelic Anguish (that I noticed hehe) makes me sad. Really killer EP in my opinion!!
Necrotic Nick- This was one of those were I liked all of their material but unfortunately some had to fall despite being solid as hell. Blasphemy got the short end of the stick for me when it came down to this even though it's loaded with killer songs. I'm always down for new Incantation especially since Sect of Vile Divinities was such a killer album. Yeah, we missed at least mentioning that EP unfortunately.
Now that Unholy Deification is out, where would that fall on your list?
The first one I got was Diabolical Conquest at Records and Tape Traders. Yep, way back when. I think that was when they first hit Relapse.
Necrotic Nick- I really can't remember which one I got first but it was either Diabolical Conquest, The Infernal Storm or Mortal Throne of Nazarene. The album covers kinda blended together for me. I think Diabolical was near the end of their initial run with Relapse actually.
@@thrallsofmetal okay gotcha! cool thanks!
@@thrallsofmetaldefinite, looking at their discography, they have a bunch of early stuff. I only ended up getting a few of their albums. Good for a specific mood.
Seen Incantation 2002 and 2019.
🤘😈🎸☠️
Necrotic Nick- Them in 2018 and 2019. Amazing live band.
I can't say which one is No. 1, depends on my mood, but Infernal storm is the first one I dismember and it is one of my favorite, with drums it is sometimes Curlossy Suffocation feeling in it. I also like the sound of bass on Infernal storm. Great review so many people have a different taste of music. Stay brutal
Necrotic Nick- This one was tough since I love every album and there's a lot of them that could have been my #1 for any multitude of reasons. Golgotha was close at one point just for the flat out old school death metal vibe but Diabolical just covers everything I love about Incantation. Thanks for watching, man! Brutal is they way here for sure!
Looks like I'll be binging Incantation the rest of the week as I haven't heard some of these albums in years. But from memory:
1. Diabolical Conquest
2. Onward To Golgotha
3. Vanquish In Vengeance
4. Decimate Christendom (so glad this is getting reissued)
5. Sect Of Vile Divinities
6. The Infernal Storm
7. Mortal Throne Of Nazarene
8. Profane Nexus
9. Dirges Of Elysium
10. Primordial Domination
11. Blasphemy
Necrotic Nick- Not a bad band to binge at all. I had a lot of fun going through all these albums and just listening to all that sick, evil shit all the time.
Have you guys done deicide yet
Necrotic Nick- Not yet but they're definitely on the list for sure.
I love profane nexus. Really enjoyed that album as someone who is new to incantation
Ok now y'all have to do Immolation next
Necrotic Nick- We have Entombed/ Entombed AD up next. Immolation is working on a new album so we'll probably wait until that drops before doing a ranking.
Side note. Hometown hero with Sonny Llombardozzi. I saw that dude rip his double neck guitar live before. Jesus tiddy fuckin christ that dude rules.
Necrotic Nick- The only times I've seen Incantation Sonny was on lead guitars and they dude killed it every time. He didn't have the double neck which would have been pretty damn cool.
@@thrallsofmetal It was ridiculous. I forget the name of his band, but just at a bar show. I was fairly young at the time and still remeber how bad ass that was.
John is sometimes seen on the Sea of Tranquility and Rock Fantasy youtube channels.
Necrotic Nick- I've seen him on there a couple times I think.
Diabolical Conquest is my #1.
Please do a Deicide ranking sooooooooon!!!
Necrotic Nick- Same here. That album is still flat out amazing. We'd love to do a Deicide ranking at some point for sure.
Onward to Golgotha is simply my number 1. Straight OSDM at the peak of DM in 92.
Necrotic Nick- I do love that album and it really stands out in the discography. As much as I love it though I'm a sucker for the deathdoom elements that came in later. It just made them even heavier in my opinion.
I never really got into this band i did see them with dark funeral a few years ago and they were great but i think ill look more into them now. Btw that devil face when it was 666 was amazing
Necrotic Nick- This band is totally worth the deep dive. Pretty much every cavernous death metal act pretty much is inspired by Incantation I'd say. Yeah, I saw that we had the 6's lined up so I thought I'd have some fun with it. lol
Incantation rules... A few band suggestions for ranking videos if I may... W.A.S.P., Paradise Lost, Judas Priest, Accept, Bathory, Carcass, Exodus, Helloween, Kreator, Mayhem, Queensryche, Sodom, Voivod... All these bands surprised their fans a couple of times in their career and some turned out to be great, some to be disasters. And to make ranking the albums a really difficult task you could go for Overkill or Motörhead...
You guys should do an immolation ranking as well.
Necrotic Nick- It's definitely on the list but we're waiting till they drop their new one before taking that one on. They're in the studio now so that new release should be next year.
Other than the bottom two this was very difficult. Looking forward to hearing everyone's thoughts.
11. Blasphemy
10. Primordial Domination
9. The Infernal Storm
8. Profane Nexus
7. Vanquish In Vengeance
6. Decimate Christendom
5. The Mortal Throne of Nazarene
4. Dirges of Elysium
3. Onward To Golgotha
2. Sect of Vile Divinities
1. Diabolical Conquest
Necrotic Nick- This one was pretty tough. I might be the only that really digs Primordial Domination it seems. I just dig the more groove oriented sound on that one. This band has such a killer discography though.
@@thrallsofmetal they are Incredible for sure. Can't wait for more future rankings, maybe Immolation or Vader someday. 🤘🤘
Many different 1st places. Incantation is goooood! Onward to Golgotha 👌
Necrotic Nick- There were a lot that were close include Onward to Golgotha, Sect of Vile Divinities and Vanquish in Vengeance. Such an awesome band.
"You jam it and then you summon a creature" 🤣
Hey Nick my bro I've just got to tell that I love onward to golgotha and diabolical conquest but the latest album SECT OF VILE DEITIES is totally awesome whatvalbums do you like let me know what's your favorite incantation album keep it metal bro
😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
Opps I just realized that Nick loves both diabolical conquest and SECT of VILE DEITIES is totally awesome
What’s the intro song?
Necrotic Nick- That's Shred and Rin's band Constricted. Shred's on guitars and Rin's on vocals. The song is called "Third Generation"
@@thrallsofmetal bad ass thank you 🤘🤘🤘
Is Incantation's best album from the post-Pillard period with McEntee leading the band?
Necrotic Nick- It's all subjective so what's the best for one person maybe different for another.
No, Daniel Corchado.
@@thrallsofmetal go to Rock Files, Incantation and Suffocation right now.
Who has the best song titles - Incantation or Keiji Haino?
Necrotic Nick- I had to look that one up and Incantation still wins but that dude does have some dark album titles for sure.
@@thrallsofmetal Always enjoyed Don't Be Afraid. Even If Your Nerves Snap, You Can Tie Them To A Fragment Of The Universe...
You should do if you haven’t a ranked on SINISTER albums their catalog is huge
Necrotic Nick- I'd love to do Sinister in the future. I own all their albums and they've written some quality death metal over the years.
@@thrallsofmetal their catalog is huge and one of the best underrated bands that never gets mention outhere. Another good ranking talk, Malevolent Creation albums
1. Mortal Throne of Nazarene
1A. Upon the Throne of Apocalypse
2. Diabolical Conquest
3. Onward to Golgotha
4. The Forsaken Mourning of Angelic Anguish (EP)
after those they're all pretty even
I don't see how anyone hears much similarity between Incantation and Immolation aside from the fact that they both band names start with "I", have four syllables and end in "ation". To me their sounds are VERY different
I love ALL their albums. Really😆
Necrotic Nick- I'm pretty much the same way. This was tough since every album included something I really dug on it.
Upon The Throne Of Apocalypse?
Necrotic Nick- We brought it up when we covered Mortal Throne of Nazarene but we didn't cover it since they're essentially the same album.
I don't agree with you guys death metal but man these ranks are awesome
First I saw them was with morbid Angel, Golgotha tour cycle, pillard on vox 🤘🍻🇨🇦 crushed, but now they still fucking frack our earthly plain, remember revenant....how's the fishin hank!!??? Ohhh the history , bass master , John I bet is a fishing dude
I only have Sect of Vile Divinities. I'd heard of them before but never listened. I think I thought they were a black metal band or something, lol. I saw them in late 2019 with Morbid Angel and thought it was a good set so I picked up sect when they released it the next year. Its super heavy and evil and weird sounding and I fucking love it. And holy hell those are some of the best song titles I've ever seen! I can't wait to dig further in to their discography soon. Just been preoccupied with all of the new releases being dropped on us this year. Gonna get Golgotha next and I know it won't disappoint.
Necrotic Nick- I saw them on that tour with Morbid Angel as well. Great set. I've been a fan for a long time and between them and Immolation they really expanded my listening when it came down to death metal in general. It might have been my first real exposure to deathdoom honestly. That new one is one of their best in my opinion so you picked a great place to start. They have an incredible discography in general so there really are no wrong albums to get in my opinion. Golgotha is a beast though so you targeted a monster for you next one.
@@thrallsofmetal Pretty much everyone says that's the go to so I figured it's a good place to start. Funny thing is I've been a huge Immolation fan since I discovered death metal in 03' but somehow Incantation flew under my radar this whole time. It's cool to still be discovering new old school bands at this point though, lol. And you guys have spurred me to quit sleeping on it and finally get me some more after 9 months of listening to sects.
I don't have a clear cut favorite, not a clunker in the discography. Curious, did you guys find this even harder than the Cannibal Corpse ranking?
Necrotic Nick- I do have a favorite but I really enjoy all their albums honestly. I think this was on the same level as Cannibal Corpse in terms of difficulty. They're both super consistent and didn't change around their sound much or buckle to the pressure of trends either. I love bands like that but it makes them tougher to rank for sure.
Just saw these guy live front row in Arizona last week. Here’s my rankings.
1. Onward to Golgotha
2. Diabolical Conquest
3. Mortal Throne of Nazarene
4. Sect of Vile Divinities
5. Infernal Storm
6. Decimate Christendom
7. Blasphemy
8. Dirges of Elysium
9. Vanquish in Vengeance
10. Primordial Domination
11. Profane Nexus
I think a Cryptopsy album ranking would be pretty interesting
Necrotic Nick- That definitely another one I'd like to do in the future for sure.
@@thrallsofmetal Yeah, they definitely have an interesting discography
I’m biased cause I read that John McEntee article where he ranked his albums so my #1 is “Blasphemy,” 🤘🏾😈
Necrotic Nick- While it's last on my list I still do like that one. I have no idea why that last "atmospheric" track was so long though.
@@thrallsofmetal just making these lists is pure masochism! But that’s part of what makes us Metal! 🤘🏾
@@thrallsofmetal it’s like using our 🧠 and our 💪🏽 and then those crusty drum machine type pumps 🖤❤️🔥
Nice shirt Nick!
Necrotic Nick- Thanks, bro!
COME ON 🤘
There has never been a single album ever recorded that is more f-ing evil than Mortal Throne of Nazarene. That record is pure unadulterated disease from below
The next band has to be Immolation
Necrotic Nick- Next one is actually Entombed/ Entombed AD. Since Immolation is in the studio we want to wait until the new one drops before throwing them back on the list.
@@thrallsofmetal Great Entombed is awesome!
I’m listening to there new album Tricennial of Blasphemy it’s nasty
Kyle from Incantation has got a mustache.
Necrotic Nick- Seth was very observant, huh? lol
Infernal storm is the GOAT
Blasphemy is pretty damn good
& Incantation are underrated AF!!!
I came into the band on Dirges recording 😂
Necrotic Nick- Well, missed that one I guess. lol. Sorry, man. Jon was pretty exhausted from work and might have just missed that one. I know when we saw you with them in Flint with Dying Fetus, Gatecreeper and Genocide Pact you guys tore it the fuck up. Thanks for commenting, bro!
@@thrallsofmetal no biggie . Watch for my new band Arise from Worms
@@thrallsofmetal the Italian thing was funny as fuck
Necrotic Nick- Glad you dug that. Shred's Italian so we wanted to do something fun with that. I'll definitely be on the lookout for Arise from Worms though. Stay brutal, bro!
Immolation ranked !!
Listen to the remaster of Upon the Throne of Apocalypse. It's soooooooo good.
Necrotic Nick- I own it as well and I prefer the sound on that one to Mortal Throne of Nazarene honestly.
@@thrallsofmetal Right?! The production is pure fucking EVIL. Love the flipped tracklist, too!
I only have the early Relapse records releases and like them. Saw them play main support for Morbid Angel Nov. '19, and they were the better band that night.
Necrotic Nick- I saw them on that same tour in Detroit and they killed it. It's definitely worth picking up pretty much their entire discography in my opinion but I'm a giant fanboy.
Six feet under next! Not bullshiting
Yes!
Necrotic Nick- Entombed/ Entombed AD is the next one up. After that, we'll see what comes up next.
The Infernal Storm for me
Figured I’d bone up before the review 🦴 👍🏽
Where are you guys from? Have heard a lot of references to Ohio! Rock on!
Necrotic Nick- We're all pretty much located around the Toledo area so Ohio is our stomping ground in general. Halls, bro!
33:36. “It’s flat-out demonic.” Jesus Christ. Nick, please consider getting into voiceover work.
Necrotic Nick- I've thought about it actually. I might if the opportunity presents itself.
Easily entrantment of evil.
Rock Fantasy Files
Necrotic Nick- Is that the name of another channel?
@@thrallsofmetal yessir. Today they had John McEntee and Suffocation. Mentioned just come from you guys ranking.
@@thrallsofmetal well I say they, but it’s this one dude and I guess he’s got like a record store and a head shop too.
666 at 9:56 🤘😈🤘
Golgotha,Golgotha,Golgotha...hands down #1 release...some of the others are ok but don't even come close to Golgotha.
Necrotic Nick- This one was a tough one to rank because I love all their albums but Diabolical Conquest has pretty much always been my go to. I do love the shit out of Onward to Golgotha though. I like that it's a more straight forward death metal album.
