Synopsis

Album Description
Death Metal ARTIST BIO: INCAPACITY was formed in the summer of 2002, by Anders Edlund (SOLAR DAWN). He approached his long-time friend Robert "Skoog" Ivarsson (PAN-THY-MONIUM, ASHES, WOUNDED KNEE, FETT) with the idea of starting an old-school-sounding thrash/death metal band. When asked to join on guitar, Robert accepted immediately. Christian Älvestam (UNMOORED, SOLAR DAWN, TORCHBEARER) was the next member to be recruited, set to handle the guitar alongside Robert. The bass duties were taken on by Anders, and after a long search, they found the right drummer in Henrik Schönström (UNMOORED, SOLAR DAWN, TORCHBEARER). Andreas "Drette" Axelsson (EDGE OF SANITY, THE DONTCARES, INFESTDEAD, THE DEADBEATS, ex-MARDUK) rounded out the line-up on vocals. With the band members set, Cold Records released the band's debut "Chaos Complete" in July of 2003. "Chaos Complete" received great responses worldwide and the name INCAPACITY has become well known in the metal world since the album release. In February 2004, the band entered Sound lab Studios (NASUM, KRIGSHOT, THE PROJECT HATE, DISFEAR, ROTTEN SOUND) in Örebro, Sweden to record the follow-up "9th Order Extinct", with producer Mieszko Talarzcyk (NASUM, KRIGSHOT, GENOCIDE SUPERSTARS). The final product is an album consisting of ten fast, brutal and aggressive songs, with production that can be placed in between Testament's "The Gathering" and The Crown's "Possessed 13". The album was mastered by Peter In De Betou (whose credits include: DIMMU BORGIR, DISMEMBER, GRAVE, EDGE OF SANITY and HYPOCRISY). Pär Johansson, whose work has appeared on albums from UNMOORED, THY PRIMORDIAL, IMPERIAL DOMAIN, and TORCHBEARER designed the cover art. Incapacity is proud to carry on the great tradition of Swedish metal, and poised to be one of the new leaders of the Swedish thrash/death metal movement.

CD Reviews

Good but not a classic
Destroy Boy | www.ohboydestroy.com | 12/10/2005
(3 out of 5 stars)

"This disc starts off with a short, grindy song that lets you know these guys have upped the

brutality ante on this sophomore effort. Whereas "Chaos Complete" followed a more traditional

Swedish melodic thrash/death route this new one has way more blast beats, more

straightforward death metal beats and a generally harsher, more coarse sound to the songs.



That's not to say it's totally bereft of their previously more melodic sound. There's some catchy

lead work sprinkled in a lot of the songs but it's not the dominant riff of a song like it was in the

past. This tends to make the songs a little less distinctive with some songs even approaching

generic death metal but they're still played extremely well. Depending on your preference this

could be good or bad news. If you like the more traditional death sounding thrash bands like The

Crown you'll probably like this record more. If you like the more melodic death thrash bands like

Callenish Circle or Light This City you'll probably like their first record better. As for my two cents, I

think they had a pretty good take on the melodic sound, especially with some of the more death

metal like material here being less attention grabbing.



There's also the ubiquitous overly long slow "supposed to be scary" song which they thankfully

skipped last record but it shows up here in spades. It's only salvation is a really catchy chorus

and a nice thrashy breakdown mid song so I don't find myself hitting the skip button.



On the whole this record doesn't grab me like their first one did. There's some quality cuts on

here to be sure but the first record was solid from start to finish with a more distinctive

songwriting approach. On "9th Order Extinct" the blast beats and sheer speed make many of the

songs sound too similar to make this a standout record.
