"Blasphemy was the first Incantation cd that I bought,I actually found it at a Bestbuy in Midland,TX of all places. For a town that has a church with no windows and no trespassing signs in the front lawn,this find was quite a treat indeed! The Infernal Storm was the first Incantation cd I ever heard and I liked it so much that I had to get my hands on an Incantation cd! I found Blasphemy,and as soon as I got home and listened to it,I was blown away by the bands pure,raw power and aggression. Mike Saezs' vocals go perfectly with this release and the one before it. Kyle Severns' drum skills are honed to perfection,although ther aren't any china crashes(I don't hear any) this drummer is one of my favorites in the business. Johns' guitar playing is awesome as usual,and the new bass player Joe keeps the evil bass lines coming. Standout tracks include(besides all of them except the last 2)are Blasphemy,The Fallen,Rotting With Your Christ,Deciever,and my favorite A Once Holy Throne. The latter one is a slower tempoed track,but to me it has a pure heavy ball dragging overall aggressiveness that I never get tired of listening to. When I need pure Death Metal at it's finest and plenty of tempo changes,Incantations' Blasphemy does it for me! 7 out of 5 on this bad a$$ cd!!!"

BRUTAL DEATHMETAL @ IT'S BEST!!!

"An under-rated release to say the least, this is 100% Incantation through and through. I know some have written off Incantation due to the fact that they still sound the same way they when they first started out...well, that's exactly what I like about them dammit!!! If it ain't broke, don't fix it. It's that simple. Besides a majority of the old school bands that changed (ie. Amorphis, Therion, Morgoth, and Samael, among others) sound like really gay mainstream crap.



Well, this album is awesome (which already was to be expected), but I did have a few problems with it which I call "The Mortal Throne" syndrome. The guitars sounded muddy in a couple of songs, and if you listen closely to the title track and "Crown Of Decayed Salvation", you can actually hear mistakes like they didn't care about the quality of those two tracks (On the second time he does that "Annihilate The Trinity"...riff the right side guitar goes off rhythm completely, and on Crown Of Decayed Salvation the timing on the "Rotting...withering..." riff where the drums stop the instruments come in at all the wrong places). Aside from those two significent gripes, everything else about this album is kick ass from start to finish.
