Blood Incantation@www

Skjønner jeg greia har denne utgivelsen vært tilgjengelig som en del av en deluxeversjon av forrige skive, men nå som egen utgivelse inkludert en over timen lang dokumentar.

Paul Riedl: “It’s not the next album or follow-up to Absolute Elsewhere, it’s the soundtrack to the documentary about making the album with songs that are from before. The documentary deserves to be experienced, not just as content for the internet. The soundtrack captures the very first seed of what led to Absolute Elsewhere. This is where that era started.»

Forrige skive, ‘Absolute Elsewhere’, var veldig bra, og det blir spennende å sjekke hva de denne kommende utgivelsen vil tilføre. Så langt er jeg i grenselandet for at den passer her, det er kun stemninger og flytende verdensromlyder.

«Following their boundary-shattering 2024 opus Absolute Elsewhere, Denver’s cosmic death metal visionaries Blood Incantation return with a new chapter that dives deeper into the origins of their most expansive era. All Gates Open (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack).
 
More than a companion piece, All Gates Open (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) captures the very genesis of Absolute Elsewhere. Composed in 2021, the four immersive tracks reveal a radically different dimension of Blood Incantation’s sonic identity: pastoral, ambient, and deeply introspective. Built from synth improvisations, acoustic instrumentation, and exploratory studio sessions, the material represents what guitarist/vocalist Paul Riedl describes as the yang energy to the shadowed atmospheres of Timewave Zero.»

Dokumentar

«The included documentary takes viewers inside Berlin’s legendary Hansa Tonstudios, where the band relocated for a month to write and record Absolute Elsewhere. Directed by Niklas Tschaikowsky and Tammo Dehn, the film offers an intimate and unfiltered look at the band’s creative process, daily life, and immersion into Berlin’s cultural fabric—featuring appearances by members of Tangerine Dream, Hällas and Sijjin.

Together, the soundtrack and film form a complete artistic statement – one that not only documents a pivotal moment in the band’s evolution, but also preserves the initial spark that ignited their most ambitious work to date.»
