Vertigo-inducing death metallers INCANTATION have unveiled their brand new video for the track “Messiah Nostrum”, taken from the band’s forthcoming album, Profane Nexus. The video is streaming exclusively via Revolver at this location.
Regarding the Don Taylor-directed video, drummer Kyle Severn issued the following:
“Our second offering off of our new album Profane Nexus, ‘Messiah Nostrum’, is about world religion and prayer culminating at a point in the cosmos before time, creating a messiah. This messiah’s only desire is to destroy what created it. The performance was filmed by Don Tyler, who captured the darkness of the song perfectly.”
Watch the previously released videos for “Rites Of The Locust” HERE and a playthrough of the song by guitarist Sonny Lombardozzi at this location.
Additionally, the scheduling for INCANTATION’s upcoming tour with Swedish black metallers MARDUK and labelmates ABYSMAL DAWN has been announced. See the full-listing of dates and venues below.
INCANTATION triumphantly return to their original label Relapse Records to vomit forth another unholy offering of godless abominations on Profane Nexus, their formidable tenth full-length album. Embodying a dizzying array of blasphemous tracks – culminating in sacrilegious conquests, crushing dirges, and vile riffing – Profane Nexus is an obliteratingly heavy execution of disgusting death metal that further solidifies the band as one of extreme music’s most influential and consistently hailed artists of the past thirty years.
Recorded at the band’s own Incantation Studios in Johnstown, PA and mixed/mastered by Dan Swanö (Bloodbath, Asphyx, Dark Funeral), Profane Nexus’ is perhaps the finest example of pummeling death metal and disemboweling funeral doom ever conceived.
Profane Nexus will be released worldwide August 11th on CD/LP/Digital via Relapse Records. Physical bundle pre-orders are available via Relapse.com at http://bit.ly/IncantationPN and digital pre-orders via Bandcamp HERE.

The official 360-degree visualizer video for the song ‘Rites Of The Locust’ from legendary blasphemers INCANTATION has been unleashed (view below). The song, a weapon of anti-biblical proportions, is one of eleven new tracks engineered to showcase the band’s inherent – and unrivaled – musical, lyrical, and visual depravity on their forthcoming 10th studio album, entitled Profane Nexus. The album drops on August 11th via Relapse Records, the very same label that released the band’s suffocating-yet-groundbreaking debut effort, Onward To Golgotha, over a half century ago.
Watch the 360-degree video for “Rites Of The Locust” below:
Incantation founding father, John McEntee, had this to say regarding the direction of the video:
“With the advent of 360-video visualizer technology, we were able to convey the song’s powerful imagery alongside the intensity of the music. This song is an example of one of the more aggressive songs on the album. We feel it’s the perfect representation of death metal and everything an Incantation fan wants. Rage motherfuckers!”
