BLOOD INCANTATION return with an exciting glimpse into their forthcoming album, “Absolute Elsewhere”, by releasing Side A, “The Stargate”. Accompanied by a unique short film filled with hallucinatory and supernatural atmospheres, the album promises to captivate even the most discerning listeners.
The news was released by their record label, Century Media Records, with the following press release:
BLOOD INCANTATION have finally released a preview into their forthcoming album, “Absolute Elsewhere”. Its first movement, “The Stargate” is available today in its entirety across digital retailers and comes with an exquisite short film, “The Stargate” which was directed by award winning cinematographer Michael Ragen (Guillermo del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities: The Viewing) and features mesmerizing analog fluid effects by Chris Parks (The Fountain).
“The Stargate” short film is unlike anything you have experienced before. It presents the saga of a mysterious artifact and its victims in a hallucinatory synthesis of science fiction and folk horror, where mind bending imagery and unsettling atmospheres converge in a surreal tale of primeval blood magic, interdimensional travel and grotesque otherworldly technology beginning in the Dark Ages and journeying into voids of deep space.
“Absolute Elsewhere” hovers at nearly 45 minutes, their longest full length recording yet, the album’s two 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 follow up “Hidden History of the Human Race” (2019).
