“Whispering Spiritscapes” is true heaving gothic metal, recalling the thunder of some of the band’s earliest material but with the kind of slick, modern veneer displayed on the CONCRESCENCE OF SOPHIA EP. Across its six new tracks, THE INCUBUS OF KARMA deftly intersects moments of gentle reflection and growling pain, all the while being stalked by a black cloud of dread that you can’t (and really don’t want to) shake. But to pack 2 hours’ worth of new metal into a single release and manage to keep it a thoughtful, engaging, and not-at-all monotonous listen is another skillset all together.

Mournful Congregation call that a Tuesday.

Their just released THE INCUBUS OF KARMA is their first proper full length in 7 years, and is arguably their finest recorded moment to date and the best expression of what the band has been building towards over the last 25 years.įor most bands, packing 2 hours’ worth of new music usually means a double album or a bunch of EPs.
