Incantation - Mortal Throne of Nazarene (1994)

Mortal Throne of Nazarene is the second studio album by the American death metal band Incantation. The album was released in 1994 on Relapse Records (US) and Nuclear Blast Records (Europe).

This particular album had been recorded in its entirety already in August 1993 but Relapse Records wanted the band to record again due to not being happy with the results. Situations like this and other incidents that followed led to the infamous bad blood between John McEntee and the label. The alternate version of the album was released in 1995 as Upon the Throne of Apocalypse, with a different mix and track orders reversed.

Incantation - Entrantment of Evil [ep] (1990) Remastered [2015]

 

Entrantment of Evil was first released in 1990 on 7" vinyl by Seraphic Decay Records and then by Relapse Records a year later, again on 7" vinyl. 

Although primitive compared to Incantation's later works, its hammering attack is deliberately that way, and works to its advantage in creating an atmosphere of evil and unease. The record is also remarkable for featuring Mortician's Will Rahmer on vocals - the only Incantation he appears on, in fact. Included in this 12" vinyl pressing is an exclusive bonus track, and silkscreened art on side B.

All of the tracks here build a foundation for future Incantation.

2. Eternal Torture     03:44
3. Unholy Massacre     02:24

Incantation - Vanquish In Vengeance (2012)

''A megalith of the death metal underground whose New York scene association, aside the pioneers of the genre, head into a new chapter. Ever precise to their origins the band has witnessed and experienced the ebb and flow of the scene they helped create.

Whether due to giving their support by providing some their first tour experience. Or having that equaled playing with such an array of musicians and bands in and outside the confines of the band. With over 10 studio albums, videos even a TV commercial. Numerous releases being in the form of demo cassettes, 7 inches, LP, CD dedication still holds true with tireless effort. Hall of Fame, Top 10 lists honoring their discography through publications, internet and radio.

Having gathered supporters and fans all along the more than 25 year journey. Circles devoted to all/specific eras or an audience's first encounter. Incantation has crushed venues, festivals, and clubs with their rabid attendance. From North, Central and South America. Canada, Europe, Scandinavia, Australia or Japan all have welcomed the inferno that scorched their lands.

For more than a quarter century now we've been creating blasphemous death metal and still our indulgence is eternal........ Under the Ibex Moon!.''
