    One of the best metal albums of the decade. Brutally heavy, psychedelic and breathtaking all at once.

    This was by far the best metal album of 2019 and there were some incredible albums. This was my first introduction to Blood Incantation and it did not disappoint. Best song on the album is easily the final song Awakening from the Dream of Existence to the Multidimensional Nature of Our Reality (Mirror of the Soul).

    This album is bulky and abrasive in the best ways possible. Blood Incantation isn't reinventing the death metal wheel but they're still whipping up 4 very solid back to back bangers. I dig it

    There’s unhinged beauty meeting catchiness, a cabal that draws in its listener despite its inherent capriciousness. Hidden History of the Human Race is an irrefutable classic, dispelling any doubt that Blood Incantation are one of this generation’s leading death metal acts.

    Hidden History of the Human Race isn’t just one of the best death metal albums of the year, it’s one of the best metal albums of the entire decade. Stripped of its reductive metal assignations, it’s also one of the finest psychedelic albums of the decade.

    It makes for an album that impresses without overstaying its welcome, but it's more than just the sum of its parts. Hidden History has a vibe, like something old and undiscovered. It's the riffs, the all-analogue recording process, everything. You breathe the atmosphere of this record when you listen to it. That's why you'll return to it again and again.
