US death metal veterans Incantation have announced their 13th studio album, “Unholy Deification”, set for release on August 25 via Relapse. The band also unveiled the video for lead single “Concordat (The Pact) I“. You can watch the clip below.
“I’m not interested in playing it safe,” states guitarist and vocalist John McEntee. “I think other people feel that there are limits to what we do. However, I don’t see it that way. If it feels right, then it’s Incantation. The songs we write are an honest expression of ourselves. When people hear the new album, I hope they think, ‘Why are these guys so pissed off?!’ Rage gives focus, which is why this album turned out the way it did.”
Incantation are one of the longest-running and most prolific acts to hail from death metal’s formative years. The group most recently teamed up with Blood for a split 7″ last year and dropped its previous full-length “Sect of Vile Divinities” back in 2020.
You can pre-order Unholy Deification on vinyl, CD, and cassette through Relapse. The album features guest spots from Jeff Beccera (Possessed), Henry Veggian (ex-Revenant), and Dan Vadim Von (Morbid Angel).
