Incantation is an American death metal band that was formed by John McEntee and Paul Ledney in 1989.

Their most recent album, Sect of Vile Divinities, was released through Relapse Records in August 2020.

Incantation's music frequently draws on anti-Christian, Satanic, and occult themes, and the band is notable for mixing widely varied tempos into their music, often playing slow, down-tuned passages similar to those performed by death-doom bands like Autopsy.
