Review
Hold onto your hats, folks! Blood Incantation's 'Absolute Elsewhere' is a mind-bending odyssey that'll leave you breathless and begging for more. This fourth studio album, dropped on October 4, 2024, via Century Media, is a cosmic rollercoaster ride that blasts through the stratosphere of extreme music.
Clocking in at a whopping 43 minutes, this beast of an album is split into two massive tracks, each divided into three sections. It's like the band took the DNA of death metal, spliced it with the wildest prog rock imaginations, and then shot it into space. The result? A sonic supernova that'll melt your face off and rebuild your brain.
Arthur Rizk's production at Hansa Tonstudio in Berlin is nothing short of stellar, creating a sound so rich and immersive you'll feel like you're floating in a cosmic soup. And let's not forget the cherry on top - Thorsten Quaeschning from Tangerine Dream lending his magic to 'The Stargate [Tablet II]'. It's like Blood Incantation took a time machine back to the 70s, kidnapped the essence of prog rock, and dragged it kicking and screaming into the future of death metal. This album isn't just pushing boundaries - it's obliterating them! - Zane
