The new Blood Incantation album, Absolute Elsewhere , is unlike anything you’ve ever heard before. Yes, that’s an audacious, possibly hyperbolic claim, but few can claim a sonic watershed as readily as this Denver, Colorado quartet. Hovering at nearly 45 minutes, their longest full length recording yet, the album’s two sprawling movements – The Stargate and The Message – are as confounding as they are engaging, exponentially expanding upon the formulas laid down by their scene-shattering debut Starspawn (2016) and landmark followup Hidden History of the Human Race (2019).

As Blood Incantation’s Paul Riedl tells,  “‘Absolute Elsewhere’ is our most potent audial extract/musical trip yet; like the soundtrack to a Herzog-style Sci-Fi epic about the history of/battle for human consciousness itself, via a 70s Prog album played by a 90s Death Metal band from the future.” 

For inspiration, the group looked to the mid-70’s progressive rock collective, Absolute Elsewhere (best known as a celestial stopover for King Crimson drummer, Bill Bruford) as the album’s namesake. For the uninitiated, Absolute Elsewhere’s obscure 1976 album, In Search of Ancient Gods , was constructed as a musical accompaniment to the works of Chariots of the Gods author, Erich Von Daniken, and his theories of non-terrestrial humanoid prompts towards mankind’s evolution. The subject matter of which should serve as no surprise to anyone familiar with Blood Incantation’s cosmically philosophical leanings.

But make no mistake, the four musicians working under the Blood Incantation banner for the past decade – guitarist and vocalist Paul Riedl, drummer Isaac Faulk, guitarist Morris Kolontyrsky and bassist Jeff Barrett – have successfully left the microgravity of genre behind and are re-writing the Rosetta Stone of extreme music with a new language entirely. Demonstrations like their 2022 all-synth show or 2024’s Roadburn Festival headlining appearance where they played back-to-back death metal and ambient made it clear: Blood Incantation have honed their abilities to go boldly where few bands have gone before, and reveal no signs of slowing down.

Cosmic Death Metal band BLOOD INCANTATION just announced the release of their first Ambient record “Timewave Zero” that will be out on February 25^th. Recorded in World Famous Studio in Denver, Colorado “Timewave Zero” will be available as 180g Gatefold LP+CD, Ltd. CD+Blu-ray Digipak and on all digital platforms.

The Ltd. 2CD Digipak version will come along with an additional 27-minute-long bonus-track (“Chronophagia”) and contains a Blu-ray with the full album as 5.1 mix + over 40 minutes of visuals directed by Wayne Joyner (https://www.waynejoyner.com/).

The band comments: “An astute listening to our previous recordings reveals a gradual and deliberate increase of Experimental, Progressive and Psychedelic components. ‘Timewave Zero’ is the distillation of these elements into a concentrated piece; stripping away the Metal and emphasizing the Dark, Cinematic and exceedingly Cosmic atmosphere our music is known for.”

TRACKLIST:

1. Io (21:00)
2. Ea (19:40)
   Chronophagia (27:37) – BONUS CD DIGIPAK

Cosmic Death Metal crew BLOOD INCANTATION from Denver finally re-release their fan-hailed 2015 EP “Interdimensional Extinction” as well as their first full length album “Starspawn” on Vinyl and CD.

The first studio EP “Interdimensional Extinction” from this twisted Colorado death metal legion has been remixed and mastered by Damian Herring (Subterranean Watchtower) and will be available as 180-gram LP in various colors such as “Glow in the dark” (see below) including an exclusive poster + etching on Side B and as CD Digipak on Aug 6^th.

The debut LP Starspawn is an album that leaves the listener feeling transcendentally disembodied at the end of an unknown dimension, with its intense and otherworldly technical/ambient/funeral Death Metal being produced entirely in analog. This monumental Death Metal masterpiece will be available as Gatefold 180-gram LP including an exclusive poster and as CD Digipak on Aug 6^th.

The presale has already started – be quick and get one of the strictly limited colors before they are sold out!
