Many people will now get turned off by the fact that I name drop an Incantation album as there has been a constant outpouring of Incantation inspired black/death metal in the last few years. I agree there is way too much of that but I have to stress that all the boring clones tend to take too much from the first Incantation album. Mortal Throne of Nazarene is the album with all sorts of riffs that are actually reasonably high up on the fretboard and from those dynamic riffs Hypderdontia very much seems to have taken the most of their inspiration. This is especially prominent on the second track which bears the title Internal Incineration. The riff that starts at the 30 second mark just got one of the coolest progressions that I’ve heard in the last couple years. It almost overshadows the rest of the EP and even Incantation themselves haven’t made a riff this good in a very long time. In my opinion it is definitely THE riff of 2017. What also sets them apart and does not make them a caverncore band is that their songs have plenty of shifts and dynamics. Some of the shifts feel Autopsyesque while the slower riffs themselves feel Pestilence inspired. Another thing is that the production on this EP is pretty clear, no cavern muck here.
