notes
"up and coming progressive art rock" - Steve Morse; Boston Globe
"deliciously dreary" - "It has been a long time since this reviewer was anxious to purchase a CD so expediently" - "beauty, grandeur, and majesty" - "a combination of haunting orchestral work, Rasputina-like rock and a mix of jungle like percussion." - Mike Ventarola; Legend's Magazine
"riveting" - Rob Tuck; Alternative Distribution Alliance
Incus is a 6 piece tribal, dynamic and mesmerizing dark-world band from Boston, MA. Their music is evocative, with male and haunting female vocals, various drums, cello, keyboards and bass.
With bass, tympani drums, metal percussion, and a Taos Native American cottonwood tree trunk powwow drum on the bottom, a beautiful cello, keyboards, various percussion and earthy male vocals in the middle, and a pristine angelic and sometimes middle eastern female voice on top, Incus's full sonic spectrum has moved audiences from Boston to Miami. They have toured the east coast three times, and are currently headlining major venues in New York and in Boston. A recent article in Boston's Weekly Dig suggests that they would be better suited performing in the woods around a fire in front of thousands, than on stage at a bar. Incus is proud to have Yanka Rupkina, known for her work with "The Bulgarian Women's choir", Kate Bush, Linda Ronstadt, and George Harrison, appearing on their album.

Oh yes, universal
author: John from Our HavenTribal music on the highest level. Live or CD is pure listening bliss. Spiritual soaring lyrics, a powerful musical collection.
Tribal Rock, with amazing vocals and instrumentation
author: ShellyI was really enjoyed the music when I first heard a friend's CD, and then I heard Incus LIVE!! OH MY! What heart this group has, and the female vocals are absolutely unearthly! Jason connects so strongly with his audience through this music. It's dark and uplifting at the same time. I sing Incus' songs in my sleep. Please, Incus, come back to Ohio to play for us again!!!
WOW, this band rocks and soothes at the same time, Awesome, even better live!
author: VeronicaI recently had the privelage to see INCUS live and in person, they are a cool bunch of musicians and friendly souls. The CD captures every essence of their awesome sound, which tells me they did not do a lot of editing in the recording studio. They are RAW and soothing to the soul. Their sound is unique and addictive. I want more, more, more. I heard a lovely French Love Song at their live performance, I only hope a new CD is in the works including this delightful composition of a love story. I"m hooked, please come to my town soon Springfield, Ohio, or Yellow Springs, Ohio, they would definatley appreciate your cutting edge music ensemble.
Music as magic and spiritual transformation
author: Moonshadow - CE community / TNBurning Thread is a journey beyond the senses into a realm of primal heat and thinly veiled sexuality. Seeing the band live recently in Tennessee convinced me that I am a full blown devotee of the music, of the meaning and of the men of Incus. Anyone who connects to the Earth, dances the Fire or is intrigued by the Mysteries should check this out.
Enchanting
author: AngelicaI love this band!!! They are a truly innovative and magical sound very tribal.

When I first heard of Incus, I was intrigued. I saw them live and then were amazing and their CD proved to be an equal replication of their talents. This CD provides the listener with an accurate representation of art at its best and I would encourage any music enthusiast to invest in this truly great CD.
very nice debut album
author: RobertI really liked the performances on the album, the music ranged from slow and languorous to heavy and/or fast paced which was good. I liked the instrumentation. I would have liked to have heard more of the female vocals, though, as I thought one of the best moments on the album was the short intro to Big Grey and for most of the rest of the album she is deligated to backup vocals. Other than that, there's nothing really wrong with this album and if you like what you hear in the samples then by all means buy it!
mentally & spiritually expanding
author: M PeltanI was greatly impressed with what I heard when I popped in the cd for the first time. I was expecting a bit more native sounds but was not disappointed in the least.
Mesmerizing Fire Dancing Music!
author: Tawny from Jacksonville, FloridaIf you are into Earthy, Trance-Like, Pagan Oriented Music... Then this CD is a must have! Namaste!
This band Rocks!!!!!
author: NorthStar* From the Dark ForestIf you feel the vibe of the rhythm, and vibration of the winds, the thundering of her voice through the Spiritual curtains, and the Haunting madening vocals, and dont get moved from your mortal coil.....something is seriously wrong with you.... this band is setting new standards in the music industry, I recomend it to everyone!!!
I WANT MORE!!!
author: Rob from CharlotteAlthough Incus certainly has their own sound and style, the best way for me to describe these guys is a mix between Rasputina (strings only), Dead Can Dance and the soundtrack to Dracula! Every single song is wonderful, with deep bass strings, ethereal voices in the background, deep drums and dark vocals. I played this CD 3 times in a row when I first bought it and I couldn't stop listening to it. Each time the CD is over, I yearn for more!!!!
