INCANTATION Onward To Golgotha LP Vinyl

1992. New York. A debut album so heavy and so committed to dragging death metal into the dirt that it still sounds like a threat thirty-odd years later. Some records age. Onward to Golgotha just gets darker.

Incantation weren't interested in the technical flash or the melodic drift that would eventually soften death metal's edges. This is slow, churning, doom-drenched brutality with Craig Pillard's vocals sitting somewhere below the frequency range that polite society acknowledges. The riffs on this record feel geological, massive slow movements of distorted downtuned guitar that pull everything toward the grave. A cornerstone of the American death metal underground and the direct ancestor of every cavernous, sepulchral death metal band that followed. This limited three colour stripe pressing is the version you want it to exist in your collection on, because some records deserve a physical object that looks as serious as they sound.

Format: 12" vinyl LP, limited edition three colour stripe pressing. Artist origin: New York and Pennsylvania, USA. Genre: death metal, doom metal.
