I couldn't think of a better way to start the hostilities here at Insula Tenebris, and kick off with a Madeirian band by choosing none other than Incognita!
More than deserved, since in late 2018 they announced their reunion after 25 years of absence, with the promise of releasing new material the following year (this one). The first single came out in March: "Say My Name", which was also the first track of the upcoming EP "Polarization", inicially scheduled for release in May.
The release was eventually postponed for this month, and the EP now renamed "Three" will come out in less than 3 weeks, on 29th November, being as fair to its name will feature 3 tracks, one of them named (of course) "Say My Name", which I present bellow, a song aimed at those anonymous internet users, who take advantage of fake profiles to attack others and say all kinds of crap, while hiding as cowards behind a screen, says the singer Carlos Ferraz.
As you will tell immediatly, the track is powerful, thanks to its strong and groovy riffs, a reminiscence of what Incognita did in the mid 90's, in the EP "Life's a Bitch" and the full-length album "Madeirus Sarcasticus".
Up until 1998, before the band split up, they performed live in several shows and festivals in Portugal, sharing the same stage with big names such as Cradle of Filth. In 1994, they were also invited by Zé Pedro, of iconic Portuguese rock band Xutos & Pontapés, to play at his bar Johnny Guitar in Lisbon, where they recorded a live demo.
Nowadays Incognita consist of former members Carlos Ferraz, on vocals, Márcio Ferreira, on bass, Jorge Gonçalves and Isaac Marques on the drums, and the newcomer Jukka Haapakoski from Finland, on guitars.
