1391 - Incantation Desecration (of the Heavenly Graceful) 1998

With releases like 1992's "Onward To Golgotha" and 1998's "Diabolical Conquest", there is no denying that Incantation are one of the heaviest, darkest, and most crushing death metal bands to grace the death metal scene. "Diabolical Conquest", unlike "Onward to Golgotha", features a less swampy guitar sound. The tempos are also faster in general. The most distinguishing feature of Incantation's music, except for the tremolo riffs, is their ability to put those riffs in order seamlessly, which is a quality that most older bands lacked. Tempo changes are all over the place, and yet the tunes are catchy. Stunningly unique and haunting songs such as "Desecration (of the Heavenly Graceful)" prove this.
