The word "dark" does this album no justice. Left Hand Path is dark. This death metal monument goes beyond darkness to previously unexplored chasms of evil. Imagine all the furnaces of hell devouring the earth through a wind tunnel of eternal hatred. This immeasurable hate, so pure and uncompromising, is fueled by the omniscient fury of blast beats, tremolo picking, and the evilest, lowest vocals this side of Demilich's Nespithe. To enter this scorched and vitriolic realm is to at once pass the point of no return. From the opening moments of "Demonic Incarnate", Incantation manifests its bestial malignancy in the form of devastatingly brutal death metal, complete with some of the most dismal, diabolical doom ever recorded. If ever there was a death/doom album, this is the end-all be-all!!
