Hailing from the cult metal hotbed of Chile, INVOCATION SPELLS indeed invoke a potent 'n' poisonous spell here. Bestial metal, blackthrash, and especially classic speed metal all get dumped into the duo's ever-bubbling cauldron, then shot forth with a filth 'n' fury that can only come from South America. The recording crucially finds the balance between fuck-off raw and clear/cutting, with each incensed-yet-impassioned note ringing out through the sulfurous haze before mangling the mind with quintessentially Chilean diabolism. At eight compact songs, Descendent The Black Throne wastes no time and demands repeat invocation, each galloping anthem spelling absolute possession. INVOCATION SPELLS descend the black throne and command obeisance.
Review
...a fine offering that fans of the South American black/thrash scene should find more than potent enough to satisfy their hunger. The music is a swirling, boiling cauldron of miasmic blackened thrashing that would make Sarcofago proud. It's not often a band is able to find that fine balance between filthy, sweltering blackened metal and crisp production values, but here we find an album that is as primordial as it is listenable. Invocation Spells is one of Chile's finest offerings in recent years, and that's really saying something because their scene is on fire lately. - Metal Observer 4/5
