BLOOD INCANTATION
All Gates Open

Blood Incantation’s Absolute Elsewhere is unlike anything you’ve ever heard before. Few can claim a sonic watershed as readily as the Denver, Colorado quartet. At roughly 45 minutes, the two compositions that make up this album are as confounding as they are engaging in their scope, melding the 70's prog leanings of Tangerine Dream (whose Thorsten Quaesching appears on „The Stargate [Tablet II]”) with the deathly intent of Morbid Angel. Blood Incantation has already proven themselves, perfecting progressive death metal with 2019's Hidden History of the Human Race while branching out into exclusively synth-driven soundtrack territory with 2022's Timewave Zero. Now, with Absolute Elsewhere, which takes its title from the mid-70's prog collective (best known as a celestial stopover for King Crimson drummer, Bill Bruford), Blood Incantation are leaving the notion of genre behind and writing a new language for extreme music itself 

The recording of Absolute Elsewhere with All Gates Open (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) includes a 73-minute documentary. Now available on home video, this documentary takes you deep into the legendary Hansa Tonstudios as the band rehearses and records, featuring appearances from members of Tangerine Dream, Hällas, and Sijjin. The soundtrack and documentary were initially available only in the Deluxe Artbook edition of Absolute Elsewhere.
