Since 2015's Interstellar Extinction, Blood Incantation have set a track record of constant and boundless sonic experimentation that harkens back to decades old influences with an ear to the future, resulting in two highly acclaimed full-lengths that sent them spiraling to the top of the death metal food chain. The follow-up to 2019's Hidden History Of The Human Race is on its path (with more information soon), and until then, the band have leaned instrumental through the Timewave Zero (2022) EP and Luminescent Bridge (2023) maxi-single, the latter of which is today's matter of focus with the release of their Luminescent Bridge music video in partnership with Miles Skarin and Alex Pace.

Blood Incantation comment on the video:

“Originally conceived as an acoustic interlude in the tradition of ‘Meticulous Soul Devourment’ and ‘(Mirror of the Soul)’, ‘Luminescent Bridge’ quickly became something entirely different upon entering Rocky Mountain Recorders in March 2023. Compelled by a tangible air of creativity, we forwent acoustic instruments entirely and ended up implementing several spur-of-the-moment ideas - such as drums, grand piano and even trombone - to create a vast, dynamic tapestry of textures both alien and familiar, yet remaining quintessentially Blood Incantation in feeling and atmosphere. Drenched in analog and digital synthesizers, multiple tape echoes and soaring electric guitar, this intended outro to a subsequently abandoned 7” EP became a towering landscape of otherworldly sonics, earning its place as the title track for our latest maxi-single release.”

They add:

“With this expansive energy in mind, we knew the eventual music video would similarly have to be something completely new for us, further evolving our imagery and aesthetic into new realms as we make our way towards our imminent third album. Thanks to the masterful VFX and cinematography of our friends Miles Skarin and Alex Pace who also worked on the music videos ‘Inner Paths (to Outer Space)’ and ‘Obliquity of the Ecliptic’, and the ‘Timewave Zero’ live Blu-Ray, respectively - we are able to present to you the official video for ‘Luminescent Bridge’.
