Incantation - The Infernal Storm (2000)

 Legendary Death Metal act Incantation was formed in the US in 1989 by John McEntee (guitar, vocals) and Paul Ledney (drums). They were soon joined by Arogon Amori (bass) and Brett Mackowski (guitar) whom they recorded their first demo with. John was left alone since the others left and headed in a Black Metal direction. People came and went and in 1992 they released their first full-length album, "Onward to Golgotha".

 The Infernal Storm is the fourth studio album by the American death metal band Incantation. It was released in 2000 on Relapse Records (US), Moria Records Brazil and as PLP on Morbid Records. 

 The Infernal Storm is cleaner and better-played than any of their previous efforts
