BLOOD INCANTATION have announced a new album!
Titled Absolute Elsewhere, the upcoming album from the American death metal band is the follow-up to 2022’s ambient Timewave Zero EP and 2019’s Hidden History Of The Human Race, and is scheduled to be released in October this year, via Century Media Records.
The band decamped to the celebrated Hansa Tonstudios in Berlin, Germany in July last year to record with producer Arthur Rizk [POWER TRIP, SPECTRAL VOICE, KREATOR, WAYFARER, SUMERLANDS etc]. This legendary, pre-Weimar-built recording complex was where many of their most progressive influences including TANGERINE DREAM, ELOY and BRIAN ENO created classic albums in the 1970s. Unmistakably, Hansa and Berlin became part of the underlying character of the album, culminating in TANGERINE DREAM’s own Thorsten Quaeschning contributing lead synths, Mellotron and programming to The Stargate [Tablet II]. Other special guests include Nicklas Malmqvist, from Sweden’s HÄLLAS, on lead synths/keys, piano and Mellotron throughout all tracks, and Malte Gericke, the SIJJIN/ex-NECROS CHRISTOS mainman contributing guest vocals in his native tongue.
Speaking about the upcoming album, guitarist/vocalist Paul Riedl says, “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.”
