Inculter

The new attack on everything boring shows a band that has matured further when it comes to song writing and arrangement but has not forgot the aggression and juvenility that is so very much needed in this genre. Just like a bag of beers this record could have been brought to a home alone party in 1990 and caused havoc on the dance floor. The spirit of old combined with the splendour of youth makes for a great and timeless listen. Kreator could have followed up their early works with this epitome of snootiness, or Schizophrenia-era Sepultura could have gotten drunk together with Ride The lightning-Metallica and made this record. When Lethal Salvation ends this album, behold, the end of time for “Morbid Origin” is thrash at its best.

Originally discovered by Edged Circle, Inculter are a blistering thrash band hailing from the west coast of Norway. They first burst onto the scene with the Stygian Deluge 7″ EP in 2013 which quickly sold out and established them at rapid speed. From there, the still-very-young band were voted “Band of the Week” by Darkthrone’s taste making Fenriz. Spin forwards a few months; the arrival of “Persistent Devolution” was released and a few years after that their second peak “Fatal Visions”.

Staying true to their sound whilst pushing their own limits, here on Fatal Visions do Inculter exhibit more finesse and flair, more magick and mastery. If Persisting Devolution leaned more on the raw side – understandably so, given the band’s youth at the time – then the self-produced Fatal Visions sees the now-quartet getting to the heart of their sound and, with mastering by Enslaved’s Herbrand Larsen, leaving a more powerful and timeless document for the ages.
