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.

Tribal Rock, with amazing vocals and instrumentation
author: Shelly
I 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!!!

I 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 / TN
Burning 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.
