Reviews : Albums : Incarnate, "Exist to Extinct"

Finland’s Incarnate release their second demo-like, self-financed album, Exist to Extinct. Aside from the clumsy album title, the eight tracks that make up this disc totally rip. The band seamlessly mix deathy thrash with vocals that land somewhere between black metal and gore for maximum effect. Sounding like a blend of Sodom or Kreator with Exhumed but with plenty of unique nuances, there isn’t a moment that’s dull here. Though death, thrash and gore have all had their share of contributions over the last decade, somehow Incarnate manage to find something fresh and new to add to the scene with Exist to Extinct. These guys are a band to watch, as their future is very bright if this album is any indication.
