The Profile

Incantation is an American death metal band noted for a raw, doom-tinged sound, extremely guttural vocals, satanic/anti-Christian lyrical themes and significant influence on subsequent death metal acts.

Formed in the late 1980s in the United States; seminal debut Onward to Golgotha (early 1990s) is frequently cited as highly influential. Mortal Throne of Nazarene (1994) and Decimate Christendom (2004) are discussed in DeBaser reviews. Reviews highlight raw production, alternating fast and very slow passages, and a consistently dark, oppressive atmosphere.

DeBaser reviews present Incantation as a cornerstone of raw, doom-influenced death metal. Critics praise the band's atmosphere, guttural vocals and historical influence, while noting repetition and monolithic song structures. Key albums covered: Onward to Golgotha, Mortal Throne of Nazarene, Decimate Christendom.
