Incurso

The most amazing technical albums I've heard in a while. The changups they do in this album are insane. One second you'll be thinking they are going to maintain the present tempo, and then they change it up so fast you have to literally wait a few seconds for it to kick into your sub-conscience. It's really a fun album to listen to. Highly recommended for metalheads.

Although these guys have been around for years, this was my first listen, and I must say, it is impressive --very intricate guitar riffs, fretless bass, drums ...fantastic. Remind me a bit of Between The Buried and Me....but on steroids. If you're a BTB&M fan, you'll love these guys.

I've read a lot of mostly disparaging reviews of this album, and I can honestly say, the critics are pretty wrong this time. Well, reviews are never right or wrong, just an opinion. So in my humble opinion, this album blows freaking doors down. If you are a fan of the tech-death genre, and have heard anything by Gorod, Obscura, Necrophagist, or previous SOP albums, that's mostly what you get on Incurso, mostly. The bad reviews start to accumulate around the fact that good portions of the album aren't memorable, due to the fact that the riffing is....ehem... too technical. Like that's a knock to a tech death band?! If you don't have to listen to that album 40 times just to pull out all the nuances of ONE INSTRUMENT, it's not TECH-DEATH! I like to be challenged by my music a little and not always given a chance to think for myself where a song could be going. If you like the genre, Atheist, Death, Cryptopsy, or Son of Aurelius, and think that a badass guitarist given the chance to do an even more experimental tech-death album than his original band's (Obscura), is a good thing, then please listen to this, you will like it. Maybe you won't like the orchestral accompaniment in album closer "Apparition", but certainly the amazing riff layering and vocalizations thrown over it. It's a good tech-death album, not great, just really good!

OMG... Really?! I too read some critical fan reviews of this. I don't get it. This is the best technical death metal album to date! -This year, for sure. (If you don't have Unexpect's 2011 "Fables Of The Sleepless Empire", you're totally missing out.) Now, granted, I'm a prog-head. I listen to a lot of technical death metal simply because I appreciate the musicianship. My current playlist includes Martyr, Gorod, Obscura, The Faceless, and even Protest The Hero, in addition to Opeth, Dream Theater and Rush... I bought "Noctambulant" about a year ago and was blown away. However, like a lot of technical death metal, I found that album to be somewhat one-dimensional, in that every song had the same pace... That is to say, all-out... I can't really listen to more than 3 or 4 songs before I'm done. Now, if the criticism is that not every song on "Incurso" sounds exactly the same and isn't balls-out on every track, I'll grant that... & I think it's all the better for it. The song structures are so much more interesting than their previous 2 releases. There are actual song *dynamics* here! I've been spinning this one over and over. I can't see fans of "Noctambulant" not liking "Incurso". It's a natural evolution. Great writing, in concert with extraordinary technical prowess... If you're already a fan, gotta have it! If you're just getting into the world of technical death metal, this one's also a great place to start. RAWK!!! \m/

This band is awesome. Forget the giant Sea Dragon, being summoned by some guy in a log cabin on the cover. Forget the high speed lead guitar tweaks. Or perhaps, note them! This album has some of the strangest melodies, true melodies, you have heard. This is an hell spawned oddball, I wouldn't pass it up. Notice how the high pitched patterns repeat in most bands, rather often; not here. It is offset here by unkown variable. Frequent guitar solos. Don't know nothing about no riffin. But the hectically paced lead segments of the band are worth hearing alone. If you don't like that, keep in mind that As You Sleep, As You Drown, Fallujah, even Masstaden, and laughing at Tactical by World Under Blood have nothing on this album. Yet to be seen, but I think this is one of the best albums of the year, For Me. Relapse ain't bad, it's unappreciated. I like this and I've had an affinity with Beneath the Massacre recently, even though they are nearly opposite. Even if you're a fan of This or the Apocalypse, Eternal Lord, or Misseration I think you will like this. Yes it does have weird, obviously panaramic, rather than repetitive guitaring in the lead. What it comes down to is, this is Not typical scandi metal, or is it German? I go by the names, don't really care to taint my mind with bios. And no, it is not Black Metal either. It is undoubtably, some of the best Technical Death I've seen thus far. It is hard to the core and will make you think, as well. Layered and discordant; by the way that modern Death Metal is performed, this is just the same, nay better. The sound is altogether odd. And yes, the riffs are interesting. This is my opinion, as always. And I'm raving about the album, because I think it's that relevant! I take no issue of this band, I wash my ears of whatever accusations are made against it.

So good
