Incursion – ‘The Hunter’ EP (No Remorse Records)

Incursion – ‘The Hunter’ EP (No Remorse Records)

Originally founded in 1982, the first incarnation of Incursion only lasted four years and recorded three tracks. With limited musical experience in the intervening 30 odd years, it shows that the New Wave of Traditional Heavy Metal movement from Florida from the early ‘80s has not really moved on a lot in this camp.

He’s been missing out for all these years. If you have read any of his previous reviews you will have a good idea about many of the things that he’s going to say here. Theatre of Tragedy hits basically every major point winner that works on him, with this one while also touching on some nostalgia, reminding him of some of the styles of music in video games of the time.

Jonny B is pretty sure there’s now an automatic filter at ÜRHQ that takes any album submissions that are vaguely outlandish and assigns them to him… but you know what? He’s totally here for it. It means he gets to check out bands that might otherwise be completely overlooked, and today’s submission from Canadian act Alpha Boötis is a perfect example of that…
