That's right folks, good ol' stop-go-sto...p-go-stop-go techy death metal, think maybe some Necrophagist or Obscura less the melodic moments. You know what? Upon first listen, this album absolutely destroys. Despite being an ever-shifting form of brutal tech-death metal, they still manage to keep a nice groove that transcends any combination of frantic riffs. These grooves make Incurso kind of an album that conflicts itself in a positive way. You see, it's incredibly abrasive and pointy, yet there's something almost completely intangible that gives it a certain level of digestibility you wouldn't expect from an album of this sort. I guess you could say in spite of all the manic riffs flying in every direction, the album still has a nice flow to it.
Clever songwriting paired up with top-notch musicianship would make Incurso damn near perfect, eh? No, not really. It's almost incredible how lacking in variation this album is. "Apparition" and "Spiritual Deception" are two of the few tracks on here that stand out from one another, otherwise it seems to be a steady monotonous onslaught. No track standing on its own is bad at all, but in its entirety, Incurso really fails to offer anything new after the third or fourth track.
Definitely an album that has a short play quality to it. Listened to at a couple tracks at a time is fantastic, trying to sit through the entire thing from start to finish, however, is incredibly tiresome.

The whole album is not a masterpiece in my opinion. This guys are talented, no doubt, but technical death metal needs more melody and passion, not only a demostration of technic. There's one song in this album wich is one of my favourite songs ever: Apparition. It's an amazing mind blowing song, seriously, but the rest of the album is not as amazing as that song. Anyway I would rate this a 7. Probably people who are more into Tech Death than me may find it a very good album.

This is an OK album for me and maybe is a very good album for tech death fans. I like well executed tech death, not that wanker bands with no feeling. This album is not bad, except one song: Apparition. That song is not an OK song, that song is a fucking amazing masterpiece, one of my favourute metal songs ever. If the entire album were as good as that song it would be the best tech death album ever.

I'm really digging on the layering, panning tricks and the general composition of this as a whole. A fine release!

Don't be fooled by the oldies comments up there. This is an absolute Tech-Death masterpiece. Without a doubt. It is IMO not as good as Noctambulant but still this is just great.
