“Incineration Victory” is the first ever release by the Swedish band GRAVE HERESY who play traditional aggressive Black / Death Metal to perfection. Vocals like wolf howls in the northern forests, relentless drumming and solos like early MORBID ANGEL, this band has got it all. The album opens with an intro track that sets up the mood of the album in a slow descending spiral. You can hear the signal being processed in the distance but it doesn’t come through fully whilst the message in the background is being played out in a loop. Once the initial communication breakdown is established, we jump to track # 2, ‘Attenuating The Flesh Treshold’, where the band moves directly into top gear. This is just bestial Black Metal being spewed out of the unholy instruments. It’s chaotic, it’s muddy, rough at the core and exploding at the corners. GRAVE HERESY don’t leave any gaps in their delivery. I can recommend this to all fans of War / Bestial Black Metal. If you’ve never heard these genres before or haven’t had the opportunity to listen to TEITANBLOOD, give this album a chance. GRAVE HERESY engulfs you in their atmosphere and drowns you in their raw approach to Black Metal. Again, is this a brand new approach or does this release provide another new dimension to the genre itself? No. It is however a phenomenal expression and subsequently a brilliant execution of their vision which should be applauded.
