INCANTATION Sect Of Vile Divinities Album Review | Overkill Reviews 

i met john and the gang back in 2000 and man i gotta say, they were fucking amazing. i wasnt expecting to bump into them, and was perusing their merch table and realized i needed a new beer. as i trod up to the bar, not even 10 feet from the merch table john and the gang walked up to me (seemingly like they meant to speak to me) and just came up to me and started bullshitting as tho we were old pals. i didnt have anything for autograph, so they grabbed a poster from the merch table and had everyone sign it for me. needless to say i procured a new longsleeve from them after i refilled my alcohol levels. and holy shit that was a kickass show. they were really kool. i still have the pics from that night. it was really fantastic.

Damn I've seen this band like 50 times. They played with everyone back in the day. Good to see them still around

Love this channel!!! Horns from Costa Rica, keeping up with you guys!

Bottle of Ardbeg in the background, this guy knows good whisky.

I'm pretty happy with this album overall, I understand that fans of this band are disappointed with the cleaner sound of the last several albums. To me though the Incantation sound is still present and still delivers quality death metal.

Hail Incantation...met John, he's cool as a person even off stage.

Thanks Blayne for introducing me to both Outre Tombe and Hooded Menace!

🤘Thanks for the review😈I’m a big Incantation fan because of their take on Death Doom!

good watch. perhaps a recommendation to consider is editing in the solo section of the song you were talking about when you're talking about it.

Hey they relocated to Cleveland for like a minute in the late 90's. How do you think they got Kyle? Gotta represent!

A video with not only Blayne, but the legend Branches name-checked? Best video so far. Two top dudes

Well said my dude! Great review!

Eagerly awaiting for my CD/ T shirt bundle!

It's always driven me crazy that Incantation hasn't historically been regarded on the same level as Cannibal corpse or Deicide

Blayne is gonna make a METAL lasagna

One of my favorite bands. I remember being in high school and picking up Onward to Golgotha. Saw a video last week off this album and love it.

Onward to Golgotha- one of the best- saw them in the 90's at the Berkeley Square!

Expander is interesting, thanks for the recommendation.

faceless burial is a great band from my hometown MElbourne, saw them with Necrot last year. The new album is killer.

For some reason I only have one Incantation CD - "forsaken mourning of angelic anguish" and it's brilliant, I must get more.

Would it be possible for you guys to give us samples of the shout outs? Just to get an idea of what were looking for. Cheers 🤘

Glad you shouted out Faceless Burial.. So Tomb Mold-ish and blow the guts off.. But, still no review for Haken? 😑💭

Where did you get the shirt Blayne?

I want to love this new Incantation album. I definitely need more time with it, but just with them in general, I should love them, they have elements of the styles I loved for years (doom, some psychedelia), and now that I’m finally figuring out what I like in extreme metal, these dudes should basically be my favorite of all OG death metalists (not counting Death, bc that’s unfair), but aren’t, at least not yet. Maybe I just need to listen to the right album(s) by them? Maybe I just need to see them live? That said, I do love that Expander album, or at least what I heard from it so far. Noise + experimentalish + thrash = happy me. I’ll check out the Tyranno too, bc you rarely steer us wrong. That also said, there’s just so much good music, including non-metal shit I’m digging, and I can’t keep up, damnit! ✌️🤘♾

Blayne, where'd you get that Outre Tombe longsleeve? Seems like every video now I'm askin about your shirts.

Chant of formless dread Opened my Eyes on the Album too ♡^^

Do I see a bottle of Ardbeq Uigeadail in the right corner of the frame? Nice choice!

Just bought it! This albums fucking awesome 🤘🏻

Hmm i want to check out this album!!!

@Bangertv RE: Shout-outs... Categorizing Expander as merely "good thrash" is majorly under selling them @metalcomedy . It's more like Crazy Voivod meets Sludge type action

The sheer amount of "Hey"s in this review

right on the spot... sounds unusually clean, takes off some of the evil feeling and intensity

Minenfeld Bongripper Background pretty damn solid.

Incantation doesn't seem capable of making bad death metal. They are gods.

That expander album is amazing 👌

Seen Incantation in playing in a basement in the 90's supporting their Onward to Golgatha album..Been I fan ever since.. doesn't get more knuckle dragging death metal than these guys.

Where do you get your longsleeves ??

I saw these guys open up for Mayhem two years ago. In Burlington Vermont of all places.

Sorry but on guitars is not Sonny Lombardozzi but Luke Shively.

Hahahaha amazing photo bro.

Soooooooo ... Incantation's last record (also reviewed by this gentleman) was an accountant ... What profession does this record have?? I gotta say, sounds pretty sick from the get go.

can't wait for the new MEGATONSWORD

Like minds etc i have Faceless burial new cd in my collection. awesome stuff.

The production reminds me of the latest Tomb Mold album

“accessible” “I really like this band”... sounds like I will check this out... the desth metal kid in me is now curious!

STILL waitin on a review of the new Black Crown Initiate album.

Not review related. So I was talking about this album not too long ago, and was mentioning that I had only seen Incantation once and it was in 2019. Then I got to thinking about that show. Here's the lineup, in the order they played. TERRORIZER INCANTATION WATAIN MORBID ANGEL I don't think I really appreciated how awesome that was at the time... 🤘🤘

I dont know about all incantation albums but i think this new is their best!!!!!!! Totally sickened

Whoa i always thought this band started around the 2010's cuz of the fresh sound

Hails to all from England 🤘🏻☠️🤘🏻

Some of the lows sound like Rose funerals vocals.

Check out BEAST OF REVELATION, with John McEntee and Eric Daniels

I'm not joking. You don't get any more metal than having a fucking flail mounted on your wall. What. A. Legend.

I was more hoping for a Overkill Review for the new album by the CANADIAN band Unleash The Archers

Incantation, Fuck yeah!

Pretty damn good album compared to the last few although I still dont like the ultra modern digital sound of the drums here. Same reason I dont like dying fetus or cattle decapitation, that computer drum sound makes it so much less brutal in my opinion.

Holy shit if you like Blood Incantation check out Faceless Burial, that shit slaps they weren't kidding.

Know what, I may even tune in for the vegan lasagna. Props if you're a vegan, Blayne.

incantation doesn't make bad death metal. This is a cleaner album sonically but still has that sound they crafted through the years. Win. Re: albums and DM slowing down. Cytotoxin's new one dropped, so feast your ears on some quality muscular tech death lol. Been spinning that and the latestSabiendas LP. Not released today but still a beasty record. New single from Benighted... Just look and you shall find good DM. But yeah it's annoying about slowdowns. That Carcass LP had me hoping but then got pushed back. Thankfully we will still have an EP in a few months. Better than nothing lol. Cheers

Where’s the Primitive Man review??

So, to sum up this review. It's a bad ass album, go get it!!!😂😂😂

Every Incantation is accessible.

Kyle from incantation has a moustache

An extremely good album.

How about Unleash the Archers new album?

5 Skulls

I’ve never seen another Blayne spelt the same way as me.

SECT OF VILE DIVINITIES is the best album I have heard in a decade. Incantation marries the power and technicality of Death metal with the Indie/ DIY vibe of OlD school punk and alternative. At least that's my take on it. They do not and will not give two shits what is happening in the music world, gonna do what they need to. My ideal show would be a split bill of Incantation and the Melvins. Dreaming on....

faceless burial🤘🤘

Gonna have to disagree on calling Expander thrash, more like SciFi Converge. Still a great record (as was their last release).

Hey!

Nice longsleeve! Quebec represents haha

There is a part of Incantations discography I havent heard an a large part of that has been how sonically their albums tend to sound bad. Not saying McEntees songs are bad. Fuck they are brutal. Here lies I think the reasons why Incantation and Immolation got lost in the shuffle was because of production and mixing. Blayne said it in the review about the better production of Cannibal Corpse and Morbid Angel ok not better but cleaner. I didnt hear an over produced sample hear like the over produced and not mixed well works from Cannibal or Morbid. The first thing I said when the snippet played was holy shit they cleaned it up. If only Onward to Golgotha sounded like this. So my complaint is with Blayne damn it. "Its to murky" or "you took to much of the murk off". This album sounds fucking great. I think that if Incantation and Immolation had better sounding completed albums starting with Onward to Golgotha and Dawn of Possession or within a couple of releases after the careers of these two bands would had taken a different path one resembling the careers of their Tampa counterparts.

Incantation!! Review 200 Stab Wounds!

Blain, are you vegan!?! Either way is cool for me. I love vegan lasagna.

The Expander album is brutal, like Killing Joke with steroids and halfbeats

Blaine. Send me some of that lasagna!

Ardbeg!

Incantation always deliver! Also I want that katana

Great album. I think UNDERproduction is OVERrated. I dont mind it being producted a bit so i can hear everything and nothing gets drowned out.

What happened to Sonny? He is out of the band!

I like vegan lasagna. I'm there!

Drink Beer!

The heaviest and most brutal Death Metal record of 2020 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

Skip to 10:10

Leaf metal must die and should have never existed except for Voivod. EDIT : and Gorguts

This is the Canadian opinion. Is there no American opinion?

So you're still cleaning tables in this joint? Waste of Space. FAS !

This dude seems like a trendy mind slave

Vegan lasagna?! That’s not metal at all!

Vegan lasagna? That's like metal without guitar

They're probably perfectly rated in the grand scheme of things. Not one song is memorable.

Incantation shouldve hung it up. Did anybody really demand this release except for having another colored vinyl in their collection? These dudes shouldve tooken some pointers from Innumetable forms if they had any brains. Ehh

For a guy that talks for a living you'd think he'd be a little good at it. But, nope, mumble stumble..... umm...ahh...eh..mumble stumble all the way from start to eh hey finish.

Can’t get past those vocals. Sounds so dry and bland.

Its way over produced

Big fan of their old stuff but this is just boring 😞

Listened to this on my way to work today... wasn't impressed at all. Mediocre, uninspired Death Metal.
