Great fkn show put on by New York’s finest. "ENTRAILS OF THE HAG QUEEN", "SIEGE HIVE" and "FURY’S MANIFESTO" would be the only recent album cuts they would play, mixed within the total songs played as they’d go farther and farther back throughout the set. Whatever was the reason, They sounded amazing this nite. The crowd this time around seemed more responsive than the last time I caught them. They would go back and forth from recent release to older albums throughout their set as they proceeded with a track from 2014’s DIRGES OF ELYSIUM and the song "CARRION PROPHECY". It did take a while for the crowd to get active but at the same time they were totally into INCANTATION’s sound. It’s necessary to say that INCANTATION is one of those bands that has sustained consistency and those first few albums are absolutely amazing, putting a close to the 90’s as Death Metal was starting to mature. This time, along with some pretty cool lighting effects, it was used to introduce INCANTATION to a packed house and pumped up crowd and the 1st song off their last album, to start off the set only to follow it up and go all the way back to 1998’s ‘ DIABOLICAL CONQUEST with ETHEREAL MISERY.
There set of 45 minutes was chockfull of classic hits as well as some cuts from their latest.įor the second time in a few days, I had heard the Evil Dead intro. By the sound of it, the crowd was supper pumped for some Old School New York Death Metal and INCANTATION was more than happy to oblige. Their latest release SECT OF THE VILE DIVINITIES was one of the best in 2020.
I’d be lying if I didn’t say I’m making up for lost time and catching the legend John McEntee and company as much as possible. It had only been a few months that they made a stop here along with NILE back in February. One of the dual headers on this, the VILE ASCENSION tour was INCANTATION bringing back to Los Angeles that epic Death Doom greatness once again. I’d keep an eye/ear on these guys if I was you. They gave their all for a half hour and was well received by the crowd. They’re relatively a new band only having been around almost 10 years but are showing a lot of promise this nite. They came with a fury and I think it’s safe to say that the crowd, although mostly pit-less, was still rocking out to their sound. They are affectionately known as “Unholy Weaver of Shadows & Incantations” on Guitars and Vocals, “Infernal Magus of Nocturnal Alchemy” on Bass and simply put, Aris Wales on drums. With 3 albums under their belts, the recently CENTURY MEDIA signed group is looking to establish themselves with their VENOM-meets- MOTORHEAD-esque style. The band from Oregon known as BEWITCHER is a 3-piece group and that alone is always cool. Part of the touring bill was another Blackened Thrash group. We gifted him and the band a case of beer and a bottle of Maker’s Mark as a couple of tokens of high appreciation that would help them along the road. We were both super stoked to see them and meet guitarist, Sammy whom I had a chance to interview before the show. There was a lot of emotion (for lack of a better word) leading up this show and I’m glad I got to share this night with one of my favorite concert partners, my girl Ivy. My fondness for Blackened Thrash has grown in the last couple of years and I consider GOATWHORE one of the top bands in that underappreciated category. This was the third night of my Metal bender and much as the previous 2 nites were amazing and acts that I was really anxious to see, this one was no different as I got to see INCANTATION again and for the first time in a long time since 2017, GOATWHORE. GOATWHORE, INCANTATION, BEWITCHER In Los Angeles With Photos! Welcome to the LOUDEST DOT COM ON THE PLANET!
