Incineration in the Infinite – Serpent’s Tongue Review

Upon pressing the play button, the listener is welcomed by the opening track, Satanic Ritual in the Fog of Night, which envelops them in a haunting soundscape. This is followed by a heavy, aggressive instrumental segment that carries through the final two songs, conjuring vivid and eerie imagery.

Incineration in the Infinite is a creative endeavour launched by Ömer Doğramacı. It acts as a companion project to his other venture, Fragmentary Solid Abyss, with both exploring akin musical and thematic realms. Yet, Incineration in the Infinite emphasizes crafting immersive and evocative soundscapes characterized by unique tempo variations and refined song structures, favouring simplicity in its songwriting. The project also weaves in the defiant spirit of punk rock, the chilling ambiance of black metal, and incorporates the heavy intensity of stoner metal alongside the sombre, introspective atmospheres of doom.

In just three hauntingly and crushing atmospheric tracks that total less than twenty minutes, Serpent’s Tongue offers a disquieting journey that is anything but a leisurely walk in the park. Those who appreciate dark instrumental music that explores the recesses of the psyche will find this sound profoundly impactful. The raw, DIY production quality enhances the music’s essence, wrapping listeners in a veil of darkness that persists well beyond the last note. As the final echoes fade away, one is left with a lingering sense of unease, prompting introspection long after the experience has concluded.

There are no vocals in Incineration in the Infinite. Instead, they focus entirely on creating atmospheric and evocative soundscapes through their instrumental work, which is delivered by a fruit of art devilmanship. Providing the listener with heavy and immersive compositions and arrangements — both instrumental and musical — with instrumental work emphasizes simplicity and atmosphere, with loose and free performances that prioritize emotional depth and mood over technical complexity.  This approach allows for a profound connection between the listener and the music, fostering an experience that transcends mere auditory immersion.

Incineration in the Infinite showcases powerful, crushing riffs paired with haunting melodies. The sound draws inspiration from the stoner and doom metal genres, aiming to craft a dark and immersive ambiance. The riffs are predominantly slow and weighty, enhancing the music’s overall heaviness. The bass lines are essential, providing a solid foundation that enriches the compositions with depth and resonance. In the realms of stoner and doom metal, the bass often stands out, and it appears that Incineration in the Infinite adheres to this convention, utilizing the bass to amplify the low-end intensity.

The drumming enhances the music’s slow and intentional flow, featuring dynamic tempo changes and strong beats. The drums infuse a sense of rhythm and momentum, while also enriching the overall atmosphere of the pieces. This combination creates a compelling auditory experience, drawing listeners into a darkened soundscape that feels both immersive and expansive. The interplay between the bass and drums underscores the heaviness of the genre and invites a meditative quality, allowing for moments of reflection amidst the crushing riffs.

A hauntingly immersive journey through the depths of darkness and heaviness is offered, building on the captivating charm of Incineration in the Infinite and their album Serpent’s Tongue. Imagine yourself tucked away on a cold, rainy night when all modern distractions have vanished and the world has fallen into a shadowed silence. Serpent’s Tongue is a must-listen for lovers of deep instrumental experiences because it transports you to a world of hypnotic melodies and brooding atmosphere. The sheer intensity of the music resonating through your speakers or headphones will engulf you.

The album concludes with the final track, The Gates of Daemons. As the final echoes fade away, one is left with a lingering sense of unease, we want to give a shoutout to WormHoleDeath Records for letting us review Incineration in the Infinite and his album, Serpent’s Tongue.
