UMUR
"Interdimensional Extinction" is an EP release by US, Colorado based death metal act Blood Incantation. The EP was released through Dark Descent Records in August 2015. Blood Incantation formed in 2011 and released three demos before being signed for the release of "Interdimensional Extinction".

"Interdimensional Extinction" features 4 tracks and a total playing time of 18:05 minutes, which serves as a good length and amount of material to introduce Blood Incantation to the world. Stylistically the material is technical/progressive death metal. It´s a combination of old school death metal elements and more contemporary elements like dissonance and an atmosphere of controlled chaos that many other contemporary artists also use. Lead vocalist/guitarist Paul Riedl has a decent sounding growling style, but his vocals are not placed very high in the mix and I also miss a bit more emotion from his performance. The vocals have a tendency to become a little monotone. The instrumental part of the music is both interesting and challenging, but a few more hooks or memorable moments would have been welcome. It´s details though, and overall the quality of the music is high.

The EP features a powerful, detailed, and well sounding production, which helps heighten the listening experience, and upon conclusion "Interdimensional Extinction" is arguably a good quality debut release by Blood Incantation. A 3.5 star (70%) rating is deserved.
