UMUR
"Deliverance of Horrific Prophecies / Profanation" is an EP/single release by US death metal act Incantation, which was released through Relapse Records in November 1991. Incantation released the "Entrantment of Evil" EP in August 1990 and before that two demos in early 1990. Both tracks on "Deliverance of Horrific Prophecies / Profanation" are culled from the June 1990 "Demo #1" and were later re-recorded and included on the band´s 1992 debut full-length studio album "Onward to Golgotha".

As if the material on the "Entrantment of Evil" (1990) EP wasn´t dark and brutal enough, Incantation just continue to deliver material straight from the abyss on "Deliverance of Horrific Prophecies / Profanation" (not surprisingly really, as the material from both recordings were recorded at the same sessions), which is an even more brutal and mean sounding death metal release. While it´s certainly fast and blasting at times, it´s actually surprisingly doomy and heavy too. The growling vocals have now become almost beastly and unintelligible in nature, and the gloomy and murky sounding production further enhances the feeling that you´re on a one-way trip to hell...

...Incantation´s closest relative at this point is definitely Immolation, but they thankfully manage to put their own spin on the most brutal and occult themed part of the early 90s US death metal scene. Definitely worth a listen if you enjoy that type of death metal. A 3.5 star (70%) rating is deserved.
