En route to the October 4th release date of the band's highly-anticipated full length, Absolute Elsewhere, along with the band's accompanying feature film paired with the album - psyche prog death specialists Blood Incantation have announced plans to hit the road for a comprehensive North American tour to close out the year. 

The Absolute ElseTour begins with a special one-off in Boulder, CO on the release date for Absolute Elsewhere, October 4th. From there, the band will make their way to the Pacific Northwest to begin the trek in Portland, OR on November 7th. The tour closes out on December 5th in Omaha, NE. 

The band shared with the news of the tour confirmation, 

“At last, prepare yourself to experience the entirety of our new album across North America this fall. Joining us on the premiere leg of the worldwide ‘Absolute Elsetour’ campaign will be the singular and prolific Midwife, presenting a dichotomy of sonic extremities destined to take you deep into uncharted cosmic realms.

Ahead of this, our inaugural voyage into the ‘Absolute Elsewhere’ timeline will be christened by none other than the enigmatic Master of Silence, Mr. Steve Roach, who will open the Stargate alongside us at the Boulder Theater on October 4th, in a unique and exploratory event truly showcasing Cosmic Music for Cosmic People.”

Following Blood Incantation's hailed 2022 ambient masterclass in Timewave Zero, Absolute Elsewhere runs an immersive 45 minutes and consists of just two sprawling movements, "The Stargate" and "The Message". Working with revered producer Arthur Rizk, the band retreated to Berlin, Germany to begin work at Hansa Studios. The legendary destination was home to some of the 1970s most definitive prog works from the likes of Tangerine Dream, Eloy and Brian Eno to name a few. 

Blood Incantation's Paul Riedl offer his assessment of the totality of the project. “‘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.”

En route to the October 4th release date of the band's highly-anticipated full length, Blood Incantation has also confirmed the release an accompanying feature film. 

All Gates Open: In Search Of Absolute Elsewhere is a 73-minute presentation documenting the band's time in Berlin in the summer of 2023 and their work inside the hallowed walls of the famed, Hansa Studios. Among the legendary albums made their include David Bowie's Heroes, Iggy Pop's Lust for Life and a source of inspiration for Blood Incantation, Tangerine Dream's Force Majeure.
