EP review: The Incursion - SturmSiege (2020)


The Incursion – SturmSiege – EP – 2020

USA

Nihilistic Noise Propaganda


The Incursion delivers yet another ass-whopping release of utterly barbaric Black/Death entitled, “Sturmsiege”. This new EP beats the listener into submission from the get-go, featuring 5 tracks made up of hard-hitting double-bass, frenetic riffs, and heavily gutteral vocals. The atmosphere created by the band is truly oppressive and sets the tone, including their penchant for sick, dissonant riffs that makes the whole experience sound heavy as fuck. The members are all fairly adept at playing their instruments, particularly the drummer who seems to play at inhuman speeds, showing a great deal of virtuosity. (Reminder to the reader: it's not a drum machine.) The Incursion is spawned from the same abyss that gave birth to bands like Goatpenis, Amputator, and Baphomets Horns – so if you like that kind of intense Black/Death Metal sound, then by all means, check these guys out. Definitely a band to keep an eye out for. (HT)
