INCANTATION Drummer KYLE SEVERN To Sit Out Upcoming Tour

January 23, 2007

Former INCANTATION member Jim Roe will fill in for drummer Kyle Severn on the band's upcoming European tour with MALEVOLENT CREATION, ROTTING CHRIST, NEURAXIS, MYSTIC CIRCLE, HARM, and INACTIVE MESSIAH.

"It sucks that I won't be able to play drums for the European tour, but I need the time to fulfill some work obligations outside of metal," Severn said. "It is a great honor to have Jim Roe helping and playing with INCANTATION again. He was and always has been a huge part of the creation of the INCANTATION drum style. His traditional, barbaric style of drumming has always been a signature of INCANTATION, and this is a style in which I always loved and tried to keep in INCANTATION.

Roe played with INCANTATION on the "Onward to Golgotha" and "Mortal Throne of Nazarene" albums. "Kyle will be missed on this tour but we are very fortunate to have Jim helping out," said guitarist/vocalist John McEntee. "He really understands the INCANTATION sound and feeling."

Added Roe: "I look forward to getting out on the road and jamming on some INCANTATION songs. It's been a long time and I think it will be a great experience."

The group has begun rehearsing with Roe in preparation for the tour. "I've heard the practice tapes and was blown away by the authentic feeling he has with the old songs and the new," said Severn.

INCANTATION's seventh album, "Primordial Domination", was released last fall on Ibex Moon Records. The longstanding and influential band has kept a steady tour schedule since the release of the records, touring the U.S., South America, and Europe.
