INCARCERATED represents the inevitable collision of two extreme worlds: the neck-snapping speed of Thrash and the guttural intensity of Death Metal. Based in London but comprised of members from across the globe, the band’s sound is a borderless assault of jagged riffs, massive chords, and commanding choruses that have resonated with the underground since their inception.
The journey began in 2021 when founder Lander da Silva (Guitars/Vocals) assembled a lineup featuring Andy Butler (Bass/Backing Vocals) and Rafael Rojo (Lead Guitar). Their 2022 debut EP, INCARCERATED, served as a violent introduction to the scene, earning critical praise and propelling the band through a relentless touring schedule. This momentum culminated in a high-profile appearance in the finals of the Metal for Masses competition, establishing them as one of England’s most formidable emerging live acts.
The band’s evolution reaches its zenith with their debut full-length album, Necrosphere (Released January 2026). The record is a testament to their uncompromising standards, tracked at London’s Rogue Studios by Alessio Garavello and Andy Butler, before travelling to the hallowed halls of Sweet Silence Studios in Copenhagen. There, the album was mixed and mastered by the legendary Flemming Rasmussen—the sonic architect behind Metallica’s Master of Puppets, Morbid Angel’s Covenant, and Blind Guardian’s most iconic works.
While the album features the parting percussion legacy of former drummer Alberto Pesco, the band entered a new era in late 2025 with Hercules Tsekouras behind the kit.
With the visual power of singles "Fatal Fate" and "Deprived" currently dominating streaming platforms, INCARCERATED is no longer just a "band to watch"—they are a sonic takeover. As 2026 unfolds, the group is actively securing dates for an expansive UK and European tour cycle, bringing the crushing atmosphere of Necrosphere to the masses.
“The destruction is tonic in this release and will be the joy of fans of Carcass, Kreator, Slayer, Cannibal Corpse, among others.”
Renato Samson from Heavy & Hell
“One punch and the skull is cracked. One riff and the bones are broken. In the old catacombs where only the damned are buried, it’s a massacre in the dungeon! A bloody thrash death metal attack!”
Asphix from Deadly Storm (Czech Republic)
