BLOOD INCANTATION - STARSPAWN (Dark Descent Records)

There has been quite an underground buzz around BLOOD INCANTATION following the releases of their demo and 7", raising the expectations for their debut fulllength all the way up into the cosmic spheres their music evokes. And surprise: „Starspawn“ is nothing less than an absolute monster of an album that, regardless of its relative shortness, has much more to offer than just a few great Death Metal songs. BLOOD INCANTATION manage to achieve what every true artist should aim for: They build their own world and for the duration of the record, the listener is held captive by the endless wonders and terrors these four men from Denver bring to life with their sound. The way BLOOD INCANTATION combine supremely complex songwriting and stunning technicality with the raw, primordial power of old Death Metal is remarkable. An inscrutable labyrinth of riffs and drum patterns at first listen, „Starspawn“ reveals its true beauty piece by piece with every spin. Once you found your key to BLOOD INCANTATION’s musical realm, they take you on a journey through miraculous worlds where colors and emotions change from second to second. Making compositions that diverse sound coherent at any time is true musical mastership and BLOOD INCANTATION could teach great parts of the scene a few important lessons on this issue. If unique and abysmal Death Metal without hoods and pig’s blood is something that warms your functionless heart, BLOOD INCANTATION is for you.
