Blood Incantation Announce Documentary ‘All Gates Open: In Search Of Absolute Elsewhere’

Blood Incantation has already opened the bloody gates of new music after sharing the wonder news of their upcoming album Absolute Elsewhere but they’re adding to it by announcing a new documentary that shows what the whole process was like for them.

All Gates Open: In Search Of Absolute Elsewhere is a 73-minute feature film that follows the band through the time they spent recording Absolute Elsewhere in 2023 at Berlin’s Hansa Studios. Watch the official trailer for it below.

It’s only a touch longer than the album itself, surprisingly enough. Apparently, Blood Incantation incanted their way into their longest album yet, since Absolute Elsewhere clocks in at a whopping 45 minutes. It may not seem like a lot, but if you know Blood Incantion, you’ll know it’s a lot for them. It’s also only two behemoth-length songs long, which seems to track for them.

Vocalist and guitarist Paul Riedl says of the album

“’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.”

Don’t forget that the band is also randomly tech-savvy now, having also launched their Discord channel Stargate Research Society, as well as the Elsewhere Searcher app. The app serves as a place for all of the band’s fans to congregate and shit talk in the best way, while the researchers a part of the Discord society found some vintage tracker software on a floppy disk. That’s just so… hipster.

Absolute Elsewhere comes out October 4 via Century Media. You can pre-order it here.
