Description
Evil Incarnate delivers a classic punch of old-school death metal, with Mike Eisenhauer leading the charge as the band’s central force. His unwavering vision is clear as ever, blending gritty mid-tempo grooves with bursts of relentless aggression, calling to mind the eerie intensity of Acheron and Funeral Nation alongside the relentless drive of early Deicide and Morbid Angel. Eisenhauer’s rough-edged vocals add a visceral layer to each track, fitting seamlessly with the heavy, double-kick-laden beats and sturdy riffs that anchor the music.
This album builds on the band’s core sound while adding a hint of atmospheric depth through carefully placed keyboards and intros that create an eerie ambiance. The track “Not My Christ” uses keyboards sparingly, enhancing the midtempo foundation with a subtle yet dark layer, while other intros bring an almost cinematic feel to the fore, though some effects don’t fully deliver their intended impact. The riffs are powerful and hook-laden, showing off a nostalgic yet fresh take on death/thrash stylings that keeps the music grounded in a familiar, satisfying groove.
