Blood Incantation became essential listening from Starspawn onwards, but Interdimensional Extinction was a good sign of what was to come. I bought this to spread the word that Blood Incantation, who opened for Emperor last night, has refined their stagecraft to a masterful level. This was my third time seeing them since 2019, and it was by far their best performance of the three. They played Absolute Elsewhere in its entirety and Vitrification of Blood, and they nearly brought down the house!
Favorite track: Subterranean Aeon.
