Finlandās Soul Incursion are ready to release their first EP titled āEternal Darknessā, an effort that sounds like the aural equivalent of a war tank marching into a battlefield.Ā
In less than twenty-five minutes, the four-piece churn out brutal and vicious death-metal more focused on the pure weight and impact of crushing riffs and pummelling drums than incessant speed or excessive technicality.Ā
Hailing from Helsinki, Soul Incursion was formed in early 2020, when guitarists Oskar and Henri started writing songs in the vein of old school death-metal bands like Pestilence, Death and Demolition Hammer, highlighting a penchant for an unrelentingly heavy, catchy riffage.
The bandās first studio recording, the āInfernal End / Intracranial Formā single was released in late 2021 and found the Finns intertwining fast thrash-inspired riffs with a decimating death-metal attack and some catchy melodies.Ā
With new member Arttu Turunen behind the drum kit, Soul Incursion returned to the studio to record five songs for a new EP and if their previous single suggested the path they might tread, this new EP confirms it and shows that Soul Incursion know how to write some serious and potent death-metal.
