AllMusic

Onward to Golgotha is the debut studio album by the American death metal band Incantation. The album was released in 1992 on Relapse Records. It was re-released in October 2006 with a bonus DVD of live performances. Decibel added the album to their hall of fame. To celebrate being added to the hall of fame, it was re-released on 180 gram vinyl, but limited to only 1,000 copies.

Composition and style

In response to the increasing commercial success of death metal in the early 1990s, the members of Incantation were "were hell-bent on driving back into darker underground regions where it had originally arisen from in the mid-to-late ’80s with bands like Possessed, Celtic Frost, Bathory and Death." Hence, the sound on Onward to Golgotha has been characterized by a "morbid, funereal atmosphere", drawing influence from black metal and doom metal. Scott Koerber of Decibel described the album's sound as utilizing "swarming guitars, blasting darkness and crushing doom" guided by a "warlike, blackened death metal pace, with abstract leads and pinch harmonics illuminating the tangled mass." Greg Prato of AllMusic described the album as "the sound of being swallowed whole into the bowels of hell" and "death metal at its most extreme."

Incantation guitarist John McEntee cited the 1985 album Seven Churches by Possessed as a major influence on Onward to Golgotha.
