INCANTATION Members Comment On Decibel Hall Of Fame Shows - December 6, 2010
After a string of successful shows commemorating the recent induction of their 1991 classic, Onward To Golgotha into Decibel's Hall Of Fame, members of INCANTATION have made the following statements thanking fans and friends for their continued support.
"Hi, yes we would like to thanks everyone for the support. We had a great time! Incantation fans are the best and we look forward to seeing you guys next time on tour".
- John (McEntee, guitar/vocals)
"Hello friends and metallers. I would like to personally thank all my friends and everybody that came out this past weekend to support Incantation. We traveled some serious miles to bring all of you the best live Incantation shows to date. It was an honor to play for you the album that helped create the path for what Incantation is today. Playing the Onward To Golgotha songs were a pleasure and from the crowd response, I'm glad you liked it as well as we did playing it. And for those of you who got to hear our new unreleased material for the up and coming movie soundtrack for After Party Massacre it was again a great feeling to hear you tell us that it's some of the best Incantation you've ever heard. Amazing response, THANK YOU!!! I would like to thank Albert and all of the Decibel Magazine metal crew, Dan from Pantheon Agency, the local promoters in Chicago, NYC and Cleveland, Funerus, Fatalist, Cardiac Arrest, Mortician, Embalmer, Soulless, the best Incantation working crew their ever could be, 'My Neighbors' Driver John, Evl, Kristoff, and Anderson, most importantly John McEntee, Alex Bouks, Chuck Sherwood, Jill McEntee, Sam Inzerra and everybody else that was involved to make this happen!! As you may have heard we recorded this weekend audio and video, so look for this amazing blasphemous metal weekend to be available on DVD so it can be remembered forever!!!! Hail Fuckin' Metal!!!"
- Kyle Severn (drums)
"Just got home from a great few days and very tiring time. I want to thank all the fans and Albert and Decibel for making this all happen; especially everyone from NY who stuck around to make that show happen. Cheers"
- Alex (Bouks, guitar)
"Many killer memories and also some real insane moments that'll forever be carved into our memories from this Onward to Golgotha trifecta of metal assault! The first show took place at the Reggie's Rock Club after merging with Funerus and Fatalist we were welcomed by the hellish maniacs who attended that night. Cardiac Arrest was a true sight to behold with their unrelenting rage and force. Great to share a stage with those grinding, churning, malevolent purveyors of metal yet again. The staff and everyone at the Reggie's Rock Club were brilliant. Re-introducing or reuniting with friends from Cult of Daath, Ezurate, Cyanide and our other friends and comrades who made the trek to come and show their support. It was great to share a stage and or see you all again! Our new mage of the stage, sound guy namely a John "Evl" Sustar was great at providing his talents to make for a killer show. Also his expertise came through with his amazing recording of the three shows which is sure to surface. Through the set of the first release which is the whole intent of these shows we also played some other tracks from the lengthy career of the project which were hopefully taken as we intended. With nothing but torturous metal energy!! From there we left for the long journey to NY's own Europa club. Aside from the new found camaraderie of our plethora of 'Johns.' Merch guy, number 2 of 4, John 'Mr.' Anderson keep our sprits high with his technique of cutting off impatient commuters in 'The City.' The 15+ hours on the road there (with little to no sleep) made my mind wonder to a scene in In the Mouth of Madness where the very road beneath the car would disappear to storm clouds and lightning. All of us persevered to a very rushed but successful show with the mighty Mortician sharing a stage with us for total of a little over an hour. Fatalist however who traveled from California wasn't so fortunate when they were notified they wouldn't be playing that night due to time constraints of an early end and a 'double dipping' situation having both a show and dance club on the same night. Our sympathies go out to them for although the events that transpired were out of our hands, long travels and miscommunication reigned indefinitely. The metal merchants which included Jim and Craig of the original Golgothaline up, Richard Christy, and many others who came out to support were a standing tribute to the dedication and ardent nature of metal. We salute you all, and thank you for making the night memorable. After a frenzy of equipment and merch whirlwinded from the Europa, we found ourselves back in the vans making miles yet again back to Cleveland. With our John 3 of 4, 'Driver John' Williams put forth an effort that shamed most, by hauling us and the gear for eleven-hour stints and just pushing himself to the limit. We finally arrive in Cleveland to a great start when Embalmer took the stage followed by thrash masters Soulless who after their 2nd song were abruptly stopped by a power outage that lasted what seemed like forever. After almost two hours of darkness the mood had turned from boredom to rage when Fatalist hit the stage crushing the audience before their immediate departure back home. Funerus was to follow pulverizing the audience yet again. With the whole of the show and the entire weekend for that matter Kristoff who took time from his busy schedule of shooting After Party Massacre, not to mention his horrormerch.com business. He and his camera were to follow documenting the trip, the insanity, and the violent barrage of metal that took place. Also to mention Kristoff's footage will be an official Onward to Golgotha: Weekend With Incantation DVD set, for next years release. Many hails to his flurry of paparazzi moments and all of the hard work he put into each show. In conclusion, the first album personally speaking was a mind altering experience back in the early 90's when I was a foot shorter and much more a novice to legendary death metal acts such as the one I'm now proud to be a part of. With a line-up of such insane musicianship and talent that made the Onward to Golgotha album I could only hope that the past three shows paid homage to them and kept the flames of their legacy burning bright. A strange situation in a way to find this said album being herald into a hall of fame when it was only such, to the minds of those whom came into contact with it. Amongst the 15-18 year-olds back then (myself included) who treated this album as a time honored piece, never could imagine such a thing. Hails to everyone who was involved and whom we've met while out for the three show run this past weekend. Till our next meeting."
- Chuck (Sherwood, bass)

Originally released in 1991, "Onward To Golgotha" redefined the bounds of brutality and blasphemy for death metal and has long been heralded as one of the heaviest and most uncompromising metal albums in the world. Decibel also named "Onward…" one of the 20 best death metal albums of all time as well as one of the most important records in the genre.
Relapse Records will release a limited "Hall of Fame" edition vinyl version of "Onward To Golgotha" to coincide with these dates. The deluxe edition will be strictly limited to one pressing of 1,000 copies on colored vinyl and include an embroidered INCANTATION "Onward To Golgotha" patch and sticker.

INCANTATION frontman comments on Maryland Death Fest - more festival appearances lined up - June 2, 2010
Coming off the heels of yet another explosive and successful appearance at Maryland DeathFest, Incantation frontman and Ibex Moon Records founder John McEntee issued the following statement:
"We would like to thank all of our friends fans and supporters for making our appearance at the Maryland DeathFest another massive success for the band. The response we have gotten from this performance is nothing short of incredible. For us it's great to see that our style of uncompromising death metal is still alive and well in the United States. We would also like to thank our good friend Martin Van Drunen (Asphyx, Hail of Bullets) for sharing the stage with us for our cover of “Scream Bloody Gore”. It was also great to see the positive response we got for doing our Dio tribute of the tracks “The Mob Rules” and “Stargazer”. This was something that is very personal to us and its great to see the death metal community as a whole understanding that death metal along with other styles of metal would be a much different place and I believe for the worst without Ronnie's influence."
"It was also the cool to get to hang out with all our friends and check out amazing bands like Autopsy, Sadistic Intent, Possessed, Coffins, The Chasm and Obliteration just to name a few. We want to personally thank Ryan and Evan four letting us be a part of such an awesome event. We definitely look forward to the rest of our festival appearances throughout 2010 and to play for all of our diehard supporters."
Video footage of Incantation performing Black Sabbath's "The Mob Rules" at the Fest can be viewed here.
"In label news, we would like to give a horns up to Asphyx for another amazing live set at MDF. We also like to thank everybody for stopping by the Ibex moon records table for the Asphyx autograph session. Along with everybody that came by to talk and/or picked up some of our merchandise. Thanks for a much for all the support it is greatly appreciated."

Added INCANTATION mainman John McEntee: "I'm extremely excited to work once again with both Craig and Jim we really work good together and everyone has a lot of respect for each others contribution to the band's history. I really look forward to playing some of our older songs that we don't always get to play do to time restrictions at our shows. It will be cool to do a few shows that accent more of our earlier recordings. We will for sure pull out some songs that haven't been played in a long time. There are no long-term plans at the moment. With this line up we are just doing these shows more out of our own enjoyment then any big long-term reunion.

INCANTATION Post European tour update - December 25, 2007
INCANTATION's frontman John McEntee comments on the Blitzkrieg 4 tour of Poland (with Vader, Rotting Christ, Krisiun and Funerus). and the Balkans Assassination tour (with Krisiun, Estuary and Inactive Messiah):
"Well, first off I want to send out a big thanks to everyone at Massive Music for making this amazing tour a reality. We are very grateful that you gave us the opportunity to preform in so many country's that we have never played before. You guys really stepped up to the plate."
"Well, the third leg of the European tour was the Blitzkrieg 4 with Vader, Rotting Christ, Krisiun and my other band Funerus. It was a true honor to be apart of such a strong package after so many attempts have failed in the past to play Poland. We want to thank all our long time supporters for coming out and kicking ass every night.. You guys made the long wait worth it. We look forward to returning to Poland again and hopefully as a headliner."
"The forth leg of our 2 month European tour was of the Balkans. What can I say, once again it was Brilliant. This was our first time in the Balkans and it was bad ass! It was so great to play for all these people that never got the opportunity to see us live before. Every night the crowd was fired up for some killer metal. It was also cool to have the addition of or label mates and long time friends Estuary on the bill. This part of the tour just felt like a all out assault by all the bands every night."
"We would like to send out a big hail to: Krisiun, Vader, Rotting Christ, Funerus, Amebti, Riul Doamnei, Estuary, Inactive Messiah, Crionics (we hope you guys a well after your disaster on your Russian tour) Massive Music and crew for making our 2 month tour such a great experience. also a big thanks to Reyash for once again doing a great job on bass on the tour along with being a true brother of metal."
"This year has been a milestone in our career as a band. We have had the opportunity to play more country's we have never played before then any other year in our history and it's been a true honer. I want to thank all our die hard supporters around the world for showing us your support."
"I want to also send out my condolences to Vitek and the guys in Decapitated, we had the opportunity to tour with them back in 2002 here in the USA. We were blown away buy there brutality and talent. From all of us in Incantation you will be missed."
INCANTATION has been confirmed for next year's Central Illinois Metalfest, set to take place July 18-20 at the Canopy Club in Urbana, Illinois. Also playing is label mates Denial Fiend and Funerus and many more great death metal bands.

Also on the tour was my other band Funerus along with the Japanese band Anatomia. Anatomia were great touring mates, they are a kick ass old school style death metal band and heavy as fuck. They were a perfect opener for the tour! It was also great for Funerus, we got a great responce everynight. on behelf of Funerus we want to thank all the japanese fans for the support. We want to send out a big thinks to Naru for doing a very professional job on the tour, truly a job will done. Also thanks to Naru's family for the great hospitality.

INCANTATION check in from Europe again! - October 26, 2007
Balkans Assassination Tour 2007: Important update and check in with band
John McEntee of INCANTATION:
We just got back from the "Flaming Arts Fest Tour 2007". This was our first time ever performing in Russia. We played along side are long time friends in Vader, Krisiun, Rotting Christ along with some cool guys from the bands Amenti and Riul Doamnei. I must admit I didn't know a lot about the Russian death metal scene before the tour, but I have to say it was over the top! We packed venues every night! The crowds were totally sick some if the craziest we have played for.
We were pretty busy traveling most to the time, but we did get time to visit red square. That was really cool, growing up in the time of the cold war it was amazing to get to visit and have some great gigs in a country that was once unheard of for a American band to visit. Also at the Moscow show I did a interview for the biggest metal video TV show in Russia. So that was a great honor.
On the "Flaming Arts Festivals" we also played our first time in Belarus. That was a phenomenal gig! The show was by far sold out and the death bangers were totally sick. After the show we did a interview for the legendary Minsk radio show metal massa brutto Alex the host was a really cool guy a true metal warrior .
I want to thank Massive Music and Flaming Arts productions along with everyone that made the fest tour happen. We are also honored to have gotten the opportunity to play for all our new and old school Russian fans alike, we look forward to returning again sometime. Next time with a headlining set.

Balkans Assassination Tour 2007: Important update and check in with band - September 24, 2007
John McEntee-
Well the first leg of our 2 month European has come to a end. For sure The Northern Assassin Tour was a great success! I was told before we left that the Scandinavian scene wasn't too strong. Well, i can't speak for other tours, but for us it was great. We had a excellent turn out every night. There were a lot of cool, old school death metal fans at all the gigs. We also got to hang out with some friends from Grave, Nominon, Immersed In Blood, Rotten Sound, Beherit, Demigod, Demilich and many more. It was a honor to be apart of such a kick ass tour, everyone has been great the bands, crew, clubs employees and all the die hard death metal supports!
My new Mockingbird Special X has sounding great every night, it stays in tune great even with my low c tuning. What is also killer is that even as hard as I am on the guitar i haven't broke any strings yet.
We are now getting ready to conquer Russia on the flaming arts festivals. I'm sure it will be a great experience. I want to thank Massive Music for this great opportunity. I also want to thank Craig and Reyash for doing such a great job every night, it's a honor to perform with such great guys and amazing musicians."
Craig Smilowski-
"The first leg of the tour has been a huge success. everyone is very cool and all the bands are very talented and give 100% every night. On the equipment side of things let's just say that Zildjian was more than happy to help me out with the cymbals I needed for the tour. Thank you James McGathey for your prompt actions. The cymbals sound great! To all at Vic Firth, the sticks ordered for the tour are of excellent craftsmanship as always. The other bands have taken interest in them. By the way SONOR is king, I miss my drums immensely."
In addition there are a few important changes in the tour schedule of the
Balkans Assassination Tour 2007 featuring KRISIUN, INCANTATION, INACTIVE
MESSIAH and ESTUARY. The tour will start as planned, but dates in Greece
have been cancelled (the promoter of these shows turned out to be a
faker!) Previously announced show in Austria is also cancelled (the
promoter withdrew his offer!) Instead of these, we the tour has already confirmed
shows in Novi Sad (Serbia), Spisska Nova Ves (Slovakia) and Zlin (Czech
Republic). The entire tour schedule below, Please, update your bookmarks!

INCANTATION & FUNERUS ARE NOT playing The Cenexpo Festival of Armenia 2007 - August 24, 2007
Due to a lack of professionalism by the promoter involved with the production of the Armenia festival INCANTATION and FUNERUS will NOT be preforming on Saturday August 25.
John McEntee explains, "The bottom line is the promoter never paid for our airfare for the show. We tried everything we cold but we had no choice but to cancel. We are really pissed that the promoter has used our name to promote the show then not do what was needed to get us over there to actually play."
Nelson Syphorium Records, who booked INCANTATION on the festival, reply, " We regret this unpleasant news for all the fans of INCANTATION and FUNERUS. We expect some day to be able to have them return to our country,with the best treatment like the they deserve."

INCANTATION European tour Line-up - July 20, 2007
John McEntee of INCANTATION:
This will be a devastating line up, Rayash (Supreme Lord) did a amazing job on the Rotting Christ, Malevolent Creation tour earlier this year. He is a great guy to work with and a true metal warrior. It will also be a honor to work with long time friend Craig Smilowski (Goreaphobia, Immolation), he is a killer drummer and all around great guy. I think you guys will be impressed with this unholy force of metal we have ready for this tour!"
Rayash:
Once again my American Metal Brother John McEntee from INCANTATION had offered me the participation in their European Tour. I'm excited as hell and very proud of the fact that I will be able to enforce the INCANTATION line-up and support them on bass guitar during the upcomming 50 gigs in September and October of 2007. Together with John McEntee and Craig Smilowski we will kick your asses! You will die motherfuckers! It will be a true hellish Death Metal Domination! See you in Poland! "
Craig Smilowski:
I am extremely excited about this news! I have been rehearsing with long time friend John McEntee INCANTATION/Funerus along with Alex Bouks/Goreaphobia I received a phone call via Alex that John wanted to talk to me about a tour and when we spoke I told John 'I would be honored.' What makes this so special for me is that I get to see Poland. There are many shows scheduled in Poland and I am extremely excited to play there.
I personally would like to take a moment to thank John McEntee for giving me this opportunity and I am looking forward to upcoming tour and to meeting all my (Polish brethren.)

INCANTATION main man John McEntee releases a strong statement about Cathedral Rock Productions - July 17, 2007
“There were many problems working with Cathedral Rock Productions. I would like to let everyone in the metal community know that he is a real con-artist and after talking to many bands and promoters that have worked with him we all agree the conclusion is he is a all around a rip-off that does not care about the bands, fans or anything else except how much money he can scam from everyone.”
John continues, “Even with the major problems and financial loss that Cathedral Rock Productions had plagued on us, we still made the best of the tour and have worked with many great people. We also want to thank all the Incantation supporters that have came out to the shows along with everyone that have helped us make the best of our problems with Cathedral Rock Productions."
Incantation would like all metal fans to read the below detailed account from Tour Manager and bass player Roberto Lizarraga [who took over tour management duties after Javier Puentes of Cathedral Rock Promotions failed to purchase the originally requested, Victor of Tumba Production’s, airfare to Colombia] as said from his and Incantation’s experience on the “2007 PRIMORDIAL DOMINATION SOUTH AMERICAN TOUR”
Roberto begins with this statement:
"It must be made public to the world that the promoter in charge of booking this South American tour for Incantation is a fucking RIP-OFF and CON ARTIST, his name is JAVIER PUENTES of Bogota, Colombia and his production agency (I would call it a theft agency) is called 'Cathedral Rock Productions"
He goes on to explain what happened, “Javier Puentes owes Incantation a lot of money in plane tickets and band fees. Let it be known that 2 days before starting the tour this asshole tried to cancel everything. Incantation re-negotiated and agreed to purchase 3 out of 4 plane tickets from USA to Colombia then continuing from Chile back into the US, upon the grounds Javier Puentes reimburse this money from the attendance of the upcoming Bogota show. Little did we know (yet soon found out) Javier Puentes had previously received deposits from Lima (Peru), La Paz Bolivia and Santa Cruz (Bolivia). Javier Puentes charged these promoters and never used this money to purchase our flights.”
"We played in Bogota and after that things got very, very shady as Puentes started coming up with dozens of excuses regarding the Bogota show and the money we were supposed to receive. That night ended and we had to hit the road for the overnight to travel to Pereira, Colombia. After the Pereira show myself, and John McEntee agreed to meet at the hotel with Javier Puentes to settle the money situation. He never showed up and left us at the hotel. The next morning a friend of his left a message for me at the reception, and a hand written note saying ‘Do not worry Javier is in Pereira and will pick you guys up tomorrow!!!!’ He did not leave an address or a phone number where we could reach him we were left sitting in a hotel in the middle of Colombia without a SINGLE PENNY!!!”
"To our luck, at the Pereira show we met Ricardo Gutierrez from BRUTALIZED RECORDS. He came to the hotel the next day to have lunch with us where one of his friends told us how to find Javier Puentes. So we set off on a man hunt and found Puentes in a small hotel in the middle of downtown Pereira, hiding from us."
"At this point we were FORCED to threaten him verbally and physically. All we got from him at this point was $150 dollars and we could not use John's credit card for expenses because it was up to the limits with the plane tickets. He promised us again that as soon as we got back to Bogota he would have a lot more money from home and he would give us our money. Off course as soon as we got to Bogota we did not receive a dime. All we could do was wait because we NEEDED our plane tickets from Colombia to Peru, at this point all we wanted was to get out of Colombia AS SOON AS POSSIBLE"
"In the end and after MANY, MANY phone discussions, we met him at the airport in Bogota where he purchased ONLY 3 tickets to Peru for the band. I was forced to stay in Colombia for an additional day. Javier Zarate from ICARUS MUSIC (Peruvian promoter) helped us out by purchasing MY flight from Bogota to Lima to help us get out of Colombia. In the meantime, we were kindly assisted by Nelson Varela of SYLPHORIUM RECORDS, who got us to the airport, gave me shelter in his own house for the extra day and took me out sight seeing and drinking in Bogota."
"When we got to Peru, things got far better, then in Bolovia things got difficult again with one of the promoters who too was very short on cash. By the end of the Bolivian dates our hope of rescuing the tour was COMPLETLEY GONE, yet once we got to Chile, everything improved."
Roberto concludes ”So, I would like to send a blasphemous HAILS and THANK YOU to the following individuals who helped Incantation make it through this VERY PROBLEMATIC and so to say, sort of ‘successful" tour:
In Bogota, Colombia:
- Carolina and Julio
- Nelson Varela at SYLPHORIUM RECORDS and Daisy

INCANTATION Mainman Explains Abbreviated Santiago Performance - July 2, 2007
Mainman John McEntee of Pennsylvania-based death metallers INCANTATION has issued the following statement regarding the band's abbreviated June 24, 2007 concert in Santiago, Chile:
"We need to apologize to all the people that came at to the Santiago, Chile show on June 24th. Five minutes after we arrived at the venue, we were told that the police wanted to shut down the show. The promoter Jose (from Inferno Rock Store) did some negotiations with the officers and then told us that the police gave them one hour before they were to shut it down. If the show wasn't over by then that the police would use force to break it up. So to try to prevent a riot, the promoter told us to rush on stage and do a short FUNERUS set then immediately do as many INCANTATION songs as possible. We were not happy with the situation but at the moment it seemed like the only option. The bottom line is that we hope the people from Santiago understand we wanted to give them a professional show like we were able to do at the other cities on the tour. Due to the unfortunate situation, we felt that playing some songs were better then nothing. We look forward to returning to Santiago to do a show the right way and give the die-hard INCANTATION supporters the best performance possible."
INCANTATION's seventh album, "Primordial Domination", was released last fall on Ibex Moon Records.
INCANTATION will be hitting the road this time with KRISIUN, ESTUARY & INACTIVE MESSIAH - May 31, 2007
INCANTATION will be hitting the road once again this time with KRISIUN, INACTIVE MESSIAH and ESTUARY. It will be the bands first time in Eastern Europe and founding guitarist / vocalist, John McEntee, could barely contain his excitement when asked about it:
"I'm sure it will kick ass! We have always had a lot of support from the Eastern European extreme metal underground. It will also be killer to do the dates with label mates ESTUARY, our long time friends in KRISIUN and new friends from the Domination tour INACTIVE MESSIAH. We are ready for an all out death metal onslaught and we'd like to thank Massive Music for making the tour a reality. I'm sure this will be an endeavor to remember!"
"Before we head off to Europe though we will be returning to Mexico City August 18th with DISMEMBER, GRAVE, SINISTER, ENTHRONED, BELPHEGOR, and INQUISITION. I'm sure this show will be amazing since the Mexican Death metal heads are always a crazy bunch of diehards! We look forward to one hell of a night and a great time hanging out with a lot of old friends!"

“We have been back home from tour for a few weeks now. I have just been real busy getting things ready for the 3 new upcoming Ibex Moon Records releases ESTUARY, BLOODY SIGN and THORNAFIRE along with getting things organized with our European Ibex Moon Records office.
We all would like to send out a big thanks to Massive Music and crew for doing a amazing job with the tour we look forward to working with everyone again. The tour was a great success, we want to thank everyone for the great response every night. It was awesome to play for all you crazy death head! All the bands on tour were totally cool and we got long great with everyone. We look forward to touring again with ROTTING CHRIST, MALEVOLENT CREATION, MYSTIC CIRCLE, NEURAXIS and all the other bands on the tour sometime in the future.
Jim Roe did a great job filling in on drums. It was an honor to perform with him again after all these years and I look forward to working with him again some time down the line. Also, Rayash (Supreme Lord) did a phenomenal job filling in on bass and we will be working with him again on our next European tour. Rayash is a true warrior of metal! I'm currently working on more dates for the Primordial Domination world tour. Again, we would also like to thank all the true death metal heads for making Primordial Domination a great success!”
DRUMMER KYLE SEVERN TO SIT OUT UPCOMING INCANTATION EUROPEAN TOUR
TRENTON, N.J. – Former Incantation member Jim Roe will fill in for drummer Kyle Severn on the band’s upcoming European tour with Malevolent Creation, Rotting Christ, Neuraxis, Mystic Circle, Harm, and Inactive Messiah .
“It sucks that I won’t be able to play drums for the European tour, but I need the time to fulfill some work obligations outside of metal,” Severn said. “It is a great honor to have Jim Roe helping and playing with Incantation again. He was and always has been a huge part of the creation of the Incantation drum style. His traditional, barbaric style of drumming has always been a signature of Incantation, and this is a style in which I always loved and tried to keep in Incantation.
Roe played with Incantation on the “Onward to Golgotha" and “Mortal Throne of Nazarene" albums. “Kyle will be missed on this tour but we are very fortunate to have Jim helping out,” said guitarist/vocalist John McEntee. “He really understands the Incantation sound and feeling.”
Added Roe: “I look forward to getting out on the road and jamming on some Incantation songs. It’s been a long time and I think it will be a great experience.”
The group has begun rehearsing with Roe in preparation for the tour. “I’ve heard the practice tapes and was blown away by the authentic feeling he has with the old songs and the new,” said Severn.
Incantation’s seventh album, “Primordial Domination,” was released last fall on Ibex Moon Records. The longstanding and influential band has kept a steady tour schedule since the release of the records, touring the U.S., South America, and Europe.

“Primordial Domination” was recorded at Mars Recording Compound during the spring with the band’s current lineup of McEntee, drummer Kyle Severn, and bassist Joe Lombard. The album was recorded with engineer Bill Korecky, whom the band has worked on its previous five releases.
“These songs are really cool,” Korecky said. “The band approached me with a great production idea. They always move forward.”
Incantation previewed “Primordial Domination” on its Decades of Death US tour this summer with Vital Remains and Dawn of Azazel, as well as the hugely successful Diezmando a La Cristiandad tour of Spain last month, performing the last show for the “Decimate Christendom” album at the Gran Canaria in Las Palmas.
“We all had a great time and some killer shows,” said McEntee. “Both Trauma Production and Irredemption helped make this tour a truly a great experience.” For the Spanish tour, bassist Roberto Lizárraga for Infantum Obscure, who has helped out Incantation in the past, stepped in. “He did an amazing job on this tour,” McEntee said. “His dedication is something that we are truly grateful for and we look forward to working with him again.”
Incantation will perform its first shows after the release of “Primordial Domination” in Brazil, where the group will be playing with Dark Funeral and Funerus as part of the V Setembro Negro Festival.

Incantation will unleash its brand of decimating death metal across America as part of the Decades of Death 2006 tour with Vital Remains, Sin of Angels, and Dawn of Azazel.

Without a doubt one of the most important bands ever to emerge in the death metal genre, INCANTATION returns with another blasphemous offering of doom/death heaviness. Long imitated but never equaled, INCANTATION have made a name for themselves as an uncompromising, bludgeoning metal force to be reckoned with. Over the years, the band has given us such classics as Onward to Golgotha and Diabolical Conquest. Now, with Decimate Christendom, the band continues to set a standard of quality for all others to meet.
Over their illustrious fifteen-year career, INCANTATION has become an infamous death metal institution and a pillar of the international underground metal scene. The staggering combination of the band's ominous sound, vicious style, incredible work ethic and unwavering dedication has left an indelible mark unmatched by all except the most legendary of their peers. Arguably metal's hardest working band, INCANTATION has ventured forth like conquering crusaders, converting thousands of new fans time after time. From Canada to Colombia, Argentina to Europe, Central America to Australia and the States, INCANTATION have endeavored to reach every corner of the world. Additionally, they have given such other prestigious acts as Nile, Decapitated, Krisiun, Enslaved, and Kataklsym their first opportunities to tour on U.S. soil.
Although the band has band seen its share of lineup changes, they’ve always managed to stay active and relevant. Furthermore, INCANTATION main man John McEntee’s commitment to the scene is something to be respected, if not revered. With the return of drummer Kyle Severn in 2000, the band came full circle as they went into the studio to record Blasphemy in 2002. After the release of Blasphemy, with the departure of Mike Saez, John McEntee took over vocal duties and prepared for extensive touring. The "Blasphemy World Assault Tour" took the band all corners of the earth, including many first time appearances in countries like Australia, New Zealand, Italy, England and Scotland. In March of 2004, John McEntee (guitar/vocals), Kyle Severn (drums) and Joe Lombard (bass) returned to the legendary Mars Recording Compound to work with longtime producer Bill Korecky (Integrity, Earth Crisis). The result is yet another primal slab of sonic death that is sure to make heads spin.
Decimate Christendom picks up where Blasphemy left off, as well as harkening back to their doomier past. Dark harmonies burn through the oppressively heavy guitar attack to conjure up images of demons and acts of the unspeakable. Once again, they’ve pushed the limits of death metal and delivered that “classic INCANTATION sound” – pure blazing aggression with total agonizing doom. Decimate Christendom has captured the band at their finest and most creative apex to date. While few artists leave an outstanding mark upon the music world, INCANTATION have built a legacy that will extend past their years. Their shadow has been cast forever over the genre, and we are eternally grateful.
INCANTATION are:
John McEntee (Vocals/Guitar)
Kyle Severn (Drums)
Joe Lombard (Bass)
