MANCHESTER-BASED MELODIC DEATH METAL BAND INCASSUM SIGN WITH ROCKSECTOR RECORDS FOR THE RELEASE OF THEIR DEBUT FULL LENGTH ALBUM “RITE OF PASSAGE”

| 20 September 2012 | Reply

Melodic death metallers Incassum, based in Manchester (UK), are to release their
debut full length album “Rite Of Passage” on Rocksector Records on 19th November
2012.

The founding members, Sharleen, John & Roo (Snowden) met at Salford University
in 2004, & in sharing common interests & musical influences the logical step
was to put a band together. Launching themselves on the North West live circuit
their early promise became evident & those people in attendance will recollect
some colossal nights with a band which was clearly becoming a force to be reckoned
with. This level of reputation in the live arena has served the band well from
inception up-to-date. With a small number of line-up changes Chris Taylor later
joined on lead guitar & Joe Ratcliffe on bass.

After self-releasing 2 demos, Incassum signed to Casket Records in 2008 for the
release of a mini-album “In Vain”, which is the English meaning of the band’s Latin
name. A strong debut, “In Vain” received particular praise from Kerrang with a KKKK
review.. “heavy stylistic nods to both Arch Enemy & Lacuna Coil.. the
versatility of vocalist Sharleen Kennedy.. from sublime melody to black metal
thunder.. there’s already plenty to get excited about here”

Following on from “In Vain” the band has further established itself on the live
circuit, across the UK & Ireland including a tour with fellow Mancunians Spires
& have also worked relentlessly on the new record – this time a full length
album encompassing a more diverse sound, a little more progressive &
sophisticated.

“Rite Of Passage” was recorded at both Gracieland & Noiseboy Studios in Greater
Manchester during 2012, co-produced by Stephen Boyce Buckley & Incassum.
