Bustling tight and massively noisy, Incarna bark their way through five tracks of metal
that sounds better by the second play as the intricacies of the progressive edge bleed through the hardcore to produce something extremely heavy. Then added to that the methods used with the vocals by utilising it as another instrument rather then just an expression of anger/rage the growls and barks produce in places, 'sweet' points that sound extremely good although it can sound flat in another moment. Don't get me wrong this five track EP is not the finished article, but could be the beginning of something very interesting.

Incarna is a five-piece metal band from Oxfordshire UK. Formed way back in 2003 having just picked up their instruments, Incarna have grown from strength to strength since the arrival of a second guitarist in late 2005. With numerous shows and a couple of minor demo recordings under their belts, the band attracted the interest of UK labels, eventually making the decision to work with Casket Music/ Copro Productions (Earthtone 9, Fony, Panic Cell, Desecration, Forever Never, Mendeed, Cancer, Vacant Stare).

Incarna have finished recording their debut EP “Spires Deceased” at Philia Studios, Henley-on-Thames (Johnny Truant, Stampin’ Ground) and is a million miles away from anything the band have done previously. Working with Nick Hemingway on production duties (Cancer, Fony, Penknifelovelife and also drummer in ISOR), “Spires Deceased” is a fusion of the heaviness and brutality of modern metal, mixed with the band’s ever-evolving taste for more melodic and progressive musical passages. With an identity of their own and time on their side, Incarna are eagerly anticipating what the future holds for them.
