Blood Incantation is an American death metal band formed in 2011 in Denver, Colorado. The band is known for its atmospheric and complex approach to death metal, blending elements of extreme metal with themes of science fiction, cosmic philosophy, and mysticism. They quickly gained attention in the underground metal scene for their ability to combine technicality and brutality with a unique and introspective atmosphere.

The band's debut album, Starspawn (2016), was widely acclaimed by critics and helped establish Blood Incantation as one of the most innovative bands in contemporary death metal. The album is characterized by long and intricate compositions, with abrupt tempo changes and a fusion of heavy riffs with atmospheric passages. The band continued to explore these themes and sounds on their second album, Hidden History of the Human Race (2019), which received even wider praise, often being cited as one of the best metal albums of that year.

Blood Incantation is also known for its intense live performances and ability to create an immersive atmosphere both in the studio and on stage. The band's lyrics often address cosmic and existential themes, reflecting a worldview that blends science, philosophy, and mysticism, which sets them apart from many other death metal bands that focus on more traditional genre themes.

The band consists of Paul Riedl (vocals and guitar), Morris Kolontyrsky (guitar), Jeff Barrett (bass), and Isaac Faulk (drums). They remain an influential presence in the death metal scene, attracting a dedicated fanbase and being recognized for their unique contribution to the genre.
