Incantation – Onward To Golgotha

Pretty good remaster although I don’t have an original to compare. But this is cool, the end of each side gets a little bit of inner groove distortion going on but that also may be an issue from the original source tapes. Pressing is clean and quiet tho

Sounds very good and noise is practically nonexistent. Transparent color looks good.

Excellent pressing. No warps, great mastering with almost no pops or crackles. Crankability is great here. Kick back, play it loud and try not to get whiplash!

"Onward To Golgotha" is like the first blow of a shovel on cemetery ground to dig the deepest grave. Like an experienced gravedigger, Incantation has been methodically unearthing the darkest and most disgusting essence of Death Metal for more than thirty years. Well, it is impossible to overestimate the debut work at all. That's what really deserves the title of "classic".

The next reissue for those waiting to receive this masterpiece in their collection turned out to be more than worthy. In fact, this press does not differ from the previous ones from Relapse, except for the new color design of vinyl - the green turned out to be simply amazing, with a turquoise glare when viewed in the light. And a little gratitude to the deceased R. Deo in the insert. The cover looks a little more contrasting, but has good sharpness, and this slightly darker version looks great.

In of sound, everything is very good, the low-frequency range obviously dominates, the sound is deep, a little cave-like, good separation of instruments, the mix is readable and clear. Perhaps technically there is not the highest DR, but this record absolutely cannot be called flat. The vinyl plays perfectly, mass defects are not heard. However, it is worth taking into that the vinyl is packed in a regular paper envelope without protection - in this regard, Relapse does not consistently change anything for its releases - so arm yourself with brushes before listening.

Even this have the matrix of 1st US-pressing this doesn't have "Made in Canada" circular on the back like on the real 1st press. Also the "distributed..." text is missing.

Incantation has one of the strongest Debuts in Death Metal history, along with Suffocation, Deicide, Immolation, etc. So happy to have the original CD copy! Full review on the vinyl release here: https://discogs.cinepelis.org/release/6653577-Incantation-Onward-To-Golgotha

Amazing album. This has got to be one of the most unrelenting pieces of music you could ever experience. There is nothing I do not like about this album. The production is extremely thick and unforgiving, the riffs are iconic to me. The songwriting is made to really take you on a journey. In fact, the album title and cover art really fit the music perfectly. Relapse killed it with the layout for the artwork and liner notes. They also knocked the way the record itself sounds out of the park. Super clean, heavy, thick, and murky sounding. This is a essential pick up for every self respecting Death Metal fan. I think as with their EP, I have a very hard time deciding my favorite tracks because the entire album is so perfectly put together that it almost always needs a front to back listen!

Great remaster here, I can finally hear the riffs front and center where they're supposed to be

My CD ha same matrix/runout but silver inner instead of the black one showed in the picture of this release.

Hello! Can someone tell me if this is a bootleg ?
