Prog/psych death metallers Blood Incantation release their long-awaited new album, Absolute Elsewhere, this fall, and they’ve announced a tour supporting it. “At last, prepare yourself to experience the entirety of our new album across North America this fall,” the band say. “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,” they add. Tickets to all shows go on sale Friday, August 9 at 10 AM local, with an artist presale starting Wednesday, August 7 at 10 AM ET with the password STARGATE.
The NYC show is on November 26 at Elsewhere. See all dates below.
Absolute Elsewhere was named after the short-lived ’70s prog band featuring King Crimson percussionist Bill Bruford, and is broken into two length tracks, due out on October 4 via Century Media. The band recently announced an accompanying 73-minute documentary, All Gates Open: In Search of Absolute Elsewhere, and an original soundtrack, All Gates Open (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack), and a book to go with it. Watch the trailer for the documentary below.
Midwife, meanwhile, releases her fourth album, No Depression in Heaven, in September, and you can hear “Killdozer” from that below.
