Mixerr Album Reviews #1,625

Blood Incantation - Astral Spells is a gruesome hardcore rock album/EP filled with gruesome dark songs. The song titles alone by themselves indicate that the album has a dark mood to it. The album is filled with negative music. The album itself is similar to Cannibal Corpse, Killborn, or Carcass. The album was pressed on a red cassette with a limited amount of copies pressed. Only 100 copies were pressed. It was released in March 2014. The album itself is a demo which is why there are only 4 songs.


Hovering Lifeless is a song with negative vibes and darkness. The song has a dark mood. This song is about living without life.

You are somehow made weightless are being moved or levitated by some unknown device in a synthetic gravitational environment. Meaning that you are in a fake environment with no gravity.

You lay adrift in the cosmic tide of ice. Lost to the abyssal waves of time. You lay in a waterbed of ice and are lost to time being unable to move. Floating eternally with open eyes. You are cryogenically frozen similar to how Dr. Evil of the Austin Powers movie series was. Living without life.Celestial epitaph for all of mankind.


Mephitic Effluvia is a song about foul smelling odors which are unpleasant or harmful. Mephitic means foul smelling and effluvia is a word used to describe a an unpleasant or harmful odor along with secretion.

The area reeks of plague and decaying lifeless bodies. Limbless horror radiates the fetid reek of plague where these celestial bodies decay. The aura is suffocating. It’s much worse than any funeral you have ever been to. Tides of blood described were for sacrifice. Born of blood and starspawn.


The Vth Tablet (Of Enûma Eliš) was recorded live in 2013 by the band during a live session. The song describes bacterial remains of humans on a distant planet where voids of eternal night unfurl beneath glares of stars burning.

Read the lyrics to the song.:

Caught on an asteroid
The size of a planet
Bacterial remnants of humans
Traverse the stars
As we fall through holes in time
Beneath glares of stars burning
Voids of eternal night unfurl


Obfuscating The Linear Threshold was recored live by the band in 2013 during a live session. The song describes beyond threshold in worlds know to human kind. It’s out beyond the threshold of humankind.

Out and beyond threshold in worlds know to human kind. It’s out beyond the threshold of humankind. Black holes burn away dimensions shattered by tombs of time. Collapse the galaxy of human life. Outside they wait. From beyond I see the nothing.

The song uses unique Latin words. Red below to see an example.:

Venet mors te superare
Bonum est mortis meditari


I rate this album, Astral Spells, 3/5***.
