Make no mistake. Blood Incantation’s latest long player is absolutely the business, fully justifying the hype and buzz surrounding it. Boasting just two tracks, Absolute Elsewhere has topped many a fan forum and online poll for album of the year. This is not just limited to extreme metal lists but it has even entered mainstream consciousness. For instance, the esteemed Metal Hammer named it Album of the Year while Decibel ranked it at second. For good measure, even the ultra-conservative Time magazine ranked it seventh on its Top 10 albums of 2024!
Blood Incantation has taken the spirit of Voivod and mixed it with elements of Dream Theatre, Rush and not least Pink Floyd, the band has created an absolute magnum opus. While the likes of Death and Gorguts have elevated the technical death metal genre in the past, this is quite literally a giant leap in terms of vision and concept.
The change in tempo, vibe and even mood within the same composition is quite simply breathtaking, swerving between cranium-crushing passages and melodic interludes with consummate ease and no small amount of stylistic nous. The album sucks listeners into a giant vortex of sound that is just remarkable in its ability to switch between genres, conjuring images of deep space and volcanic eruptions in equal measures. Those who treat music as more than just background sound will absolutely love the compelling nature of this long player.
Produced by Arthur Rizk, Absolute Elsewhere was recorded in Hansa Tonsudio in Berlin and is released on the Century Media label. This cosmic masterpiece can be sampled on all major streaming platforms while physical copies were spotted at Kutu Berahak Records, with the compact disc retailing at RM70 while the vinyl edition is double that.
