Abysmal Incantations by Insult

March 29, 2023 By Cory Balon

abysmal-incantationsSwedish band Insult released Abysmal Incantations in 2009. The album art they used was a cropped version of Gustave Doré’s illustration, Geri Del Bello.

“INSULT, hailing from Sweden, was born in 2004, as a manifestation of sinister and hateful spirit of Old-School Death Metal in its (im)purest form! At the moment the band is writing new anthems, and, in preparation for the forthcoming full-length attack, a pact was signed with DAEMON WORSHIP PRODUCTIONS to release both of the band’s official demos – ‘Decree’ and ‘Axiom’ – on a single CD, to finally make them available to wider audience. Pounding raw hatred combined with haunting melodies, INSULT proudly marches forth, crushing everything to dust! 11 hymns of (im)pure blasphemy – ‘Abysmal Incantations'”    — bandcamp
