Blood Incantation have announced a new nearly-20-minute two-song single called Luminescent Bridge, which is said to contain a death metal song called “Obliquity of the Ecliptic” on side A and the ambient title track on Side B. Nothing is streaming from it yet, but the record is set to ship in less than two weeks, on September 13. Century Media’s description reads:
Behold the latest offering from the enigmatic death metal outfit, Blood Incantation: a 12-inch maxi single featuring a brutal death metal track on Side A and an ethereal, cosmic composition on Side B, with a total runtime of nearly 20 minutes. On Side A, prepare to be annihilated by Blood Incantation’s signature sound, with crushing riffs, thunderous drums, and guttural vocals that will transport you to the abyssal depths. This track will leave you convulsing in a frenzied, primal state. Side B takes a departure from their death metal fare and explore again a cosmic, ambient soundscape that will leave you mesmerized. With atmospheric synthesizers, haunting melodies, and otherworldly timbres, this composition will take you on a journey through the boundless expanse of space.

Blood Incantation released the ambient album Timewave Zero last year. Their last non-ambient album was 2019’s Hidden History of the Human Race.
