Incantation - Primordial Domination (2006)

 

 New York's Incantation, formed by guitarist John McEntee, topped anything that had been done in the genre of vicious death-metal with their debut Onward to Golgotha (1992), a lo-fi album deliberately produced in a murky and even filthy way, but no less crushing and breakneck. Jim Roe's drumming was average at best, but Craig Pillard's vocals were a force of nature and McEntee's guitar was a weapon of mass destruction, and somehow the whole was devastating. The very fact that they were not as technical as others, and the doom elements, made them de facto the pioneers of an "ugly" subgenre of death-metal.
