Even though the major market for black metal still remains primarily located in Europe, recent years have seen a sharp increase in the quality of the albums that have been released in from the USBM scene. Bands such as Panopticon, Bone Awl or even most famously Wolves In The Throne Room have all produced near classics within their respective sub-genres, bringing America to the forefront of the worldwide black metal scene's awareness. With no sign of slowing any momentum, Incursus a raw black metal band and their debut full length, Eternal Funeral Trance are just another great example of America showing its worth.
Although a relatively new band, Incursus's ranks feature seasoned veterans, such as Kult ov Azazel's VJS on guitar and bass along with Demoncy's Horidus and Ixthira, who perform on vocals and drums. Aside from Eternal Funeral Trance being the culmination of many years experience, the album also benefits from a pristine production, which definitely helps clearly illustrate the scathing assault brought on by the band. The record, for the most part, is dominated by blindingly fast, chaotic, yet dangerously precise blast beats and guitar work. VJS's playing while undoubtedly aggressive, still manages to create an almost anxiety filled atmosphere throughout the duration of the album. On songs such as "A Ravenous Despair" or fifth track "Evil Comes Forth", VJS displays a slower, doom filled style of playing, which will cast almost any listener into a dark, despair filled trance.
Drummer Ixthira plays with very little variety for the majority of the album, but his percussive maelstrom is key to helping complete the sinister nature that the rest of the music brings. Vocally, Horidus's visceral screech is not only higher pitched then most other black metal vocalists, but is also leaps and bounds rawer. To back up his often hellish sounding yelp, he also often produces a distorted guttural bellow such as on songs like "From My Subconscious Throne"or "As One As Nothing". Unsurprisingly, the bass's rumbling presence is completely absent from the album, although its absence is often forgotten due to the high quality playing of the rest of the instruments.
When it comes to raw black metal, Incursus is most definitely a band worth looking into. Containing every element needed to craft a superbly misanthropic, disgustingly violent yet supremely enjoyable record, Eternal Funeral Trance is a mandatory album for anyone who is a fan of black metal.

band is sickkk

agreed
| | | Album Rating: 4.0
I like your reviews and all, but it seems as though you barely touch upon problems and strong points within tracks and such.* A band needs to apply their skills for an album to be good, not just potential.
Otherwise, good review, pos' (because it is a good review).
However, Nocte obducta is still better.
*I realize that you do this once and a while, but it still slips beneath the radar more than it probably should.

That paragraph seems to just add verbiage to the review rather than provide the reader with a lot of information. The information about the drumming is too vague. If that's all you have to say then omit it, otherwise expand upon it and give examples of where it becomes integral. The vox fall ill to the same plague; if the bassist isn't heard much, it isn't integral to the album, is it?

No, because they're too general, presumptious, vague and amateurish.
