1 festival played

Denver death metal by way of Tangerine Dream — cosmic, patient, and the most critically adored band in the genre.

Blood Incantation is a death metal band from Denver, Colorado, formed in the early 2010s. The group works in a style rooted in early-1990s death metal but built around long, winding compositions, with riffs that shift between churning heaviness and drifting, atmospheric passages. Lyrics and artwork draw on science fiction, ancient astronaut theories and cosmic themes.

The band has also recorded material closer to ambient and synthesizer music, reflecting an interest in 1970s electronic records alongside its metal influences. Its albums have been unusually widely reviewed for a death metal act, and the group's live sets tend to favor extended pieces played more or less in full.
