10-inch sized artbook with 52 pages [extensive artwork with loads of photos & liner notes] containing full album “Absolute Elsewhere” (CD1), “All Gates Open (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)” on CD2, and the Luminescent Bridge-EP (CD3 – first time released on CD format) // Blu-ray featuring the documentary “All Gates Open: In Search of Absolute Elsewhere” and the full album in Dolby atmos and 5.1 mix)

Blood Incantation’s Absolute Elsewhere is unlike anything you’ve ever heard before. Few can claim a sonic watershed as readily as the Denver, Colorado quartet. At roughly 45 minutes, the two compositions that make up this album are as confounding as they are engaging in their scope, melding the 70’s prog leanings of Tangerine Dream (whose Thorsten Quaesching appears on “The Stargate [Tablet II]”) with the deathly intent of Morbid Angel. Blood Incantation has already proven themselves, perfecting progressive death metal with 2019’s Hidden History of the Human Race while branching out into exclusively synth-driven soundtrack territory with 2022’s Timewave Zero. Now, with Absolute Elsewhere, which takes its title from the mid-70’s prog collective (best known as a celestial stopover for King Crimson drummer, Bill Bruford), Blood Incantation are leaving the notion of genre behind and writing a new language for extreme music itself.
