 
Incite is a little band from Pheonix, Arizona
whose frontman is the stepson of legendary thrash
icon Max Cavalera, they’ve been together
since 2004 but Richie Cavalera is now the sole
original member in the current line up. They’ve
released 1 EP and 2 studio albums, “The
Slaughter” coming through in 2009 and then
followed through with 2012’s “All
Out War” which I’m about to break
down and pick through its elements to see if it’s
any good or not.
I didn’t think I would but I’m actually
really digging this stuff, it’s packed full
of power riffs and aggressive tones strewn together
through a exhilarating 10 tracks with no build
up, break or cool down at all. Their new guitarist
has really pushed this material up in quality
as he can blast those licks and hooks out like
no one’s business, “Feel The Flames”
would be the best place to start if you need any
convincing. Growing up on the heavy metal scene
Richie Cavalera is very well educated on what
needs to be done and it shines through immensely
during this album, barking out those screams and
growls with ease and mixes well with the harsh
tones provided by the guitars to really capture
aggression and anger in its purest form. Opener
“The Aftermath”, “Nothing Remains”
and “Die Alone” are my favourites
as they are extremely diverse, use alternative
tricks and styles to expand their horizons and
make for some beasty tunes.
So youngsters can live up to legends if they really
put the effort in, this much is clear from this
album alone as they may have used the Soulfly/Cavalera
Conspiracy links to bump themselves up but hey
when you have the tools you might as well use
them! Once you get past their musical heritage
and links they are a ferocious little beast of
a unit and have earned their praises on their
own merit.
4/5
