The Ultimate Incantation is the debut studio album by Polish death metal band Vader.

A music video was shot for the song "Dark Age", which was directed by Kimmo Kuusniemi and Tanja Katinka.

We knew many fabulous LPs [had been] recorded in this studio, so the whole of Vader was more than happy.

[4]Steve Huey of AllMusic contended that The Ultimate Incantation cemented Vader as one of the most technically proficient bands in the death metal genre.

However, he claimed that the raw production values impaired the clarity of the album's instrumentation.
