Having returned partway through 2013's Disarm the Descent, Leach is firing on all 12 cylinders here, ramping effortlessly between spine-curdling screams and melodic cleans.
Backed by a jackhammer rhythm section accentuated by frenetic fretwork, Incarnate is a triumph of production values.
Just meshing all this fury into a sound sphere where the individual musicians can all be determined is impressive.
