Blood Incantation

A Denver-based band who ornament their death metal core with psychedelic and exploratory tendencies, Blood Incantation emerged in 2011 and found critical acclaim with their 2016 debut, Starspawn. Comprised of vocalist and guitarist Paul Riedl, guitarist Morris Kolontyrsky, drummer Isaac Faulk, and bassist Jeff Barrett, Blood Incantation's caustic riffage, eerie flourishes of psychedelia, neck-snapping technical acumen, and lyrics about space and death, were first put into play on a trio of demo recordings. A split 7" with fellow Coloradans Spectral Voice was issued ahead of the group's debut EP, 2015's Interdimensional Extinction. Starspawn, the band's first full-length effort, was released via Dark Descent Records and received accolades from numerous online publications. A concert EP, Live Vitrification, preceded the arrival of the band's sophomore long-player, 2019's punishing Hidden History of the Human Race, which marked their first outing for Revolver Records. ~ James Christopher Monger
