Denver’s cosmic death metal visionaries Blood Incantation release All Gates Open (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) today via Century Media. Their first-ever soundtrack vividly captures the documentary and making of their boundary-shattering 2024 opus Absolute Elsewhere.
Originally only available as part of the deluxe Absolute Elsewhere Artbook, All Gates Open now emerges as a standalone release for the very first time, featuring both the full soundtrack and the accompanying 73-minute documentary. The release is available today in multiple formats including a Blu-ray edition, vinyl variants and digital album, following Blood Incantation's nationwide takeover of Alamo Drafthouse Cinemas last month.
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.
Blood Incantation have revealed their stunning new video for "Dawn" which was directed and produced by Miles Skarin of Crystal Spotlight. Skarin details, "'Dawn' takes you to the dusty surface of a faraway desert planet. Remnants of a lost civilisation are found across the desert badlands. The sun rises, planets and moons march overhead in the sky. Gravitational anomalies create pockets of floating rocks as the proximity of the neighbouring planets increases. A doorway to another reality opens..."
"'Dawn' was filmed on-location, with the plan being to travel to and spend a few days in a desert location rather than opt for a fully digital animation approach as we have done previously for 'Inner Paths' and the opening of 'Luminescent Bridge'. 'Dawn' continues the journey of 'Luminescent Bridge', exploring more of the distant planet Elsewhere..."
