Blood Incantation's Absolute Elsewhere, released on October 4, 2024, is a groundbreaking addition to the progressive death metal genre. This album showcases the band's signature blend of technical proficiency and atmospheric depth, pushing the boundaries of their musical exploration.

This Limited Deluxe 3CD + Blu-ray Artbook edition features a 10-inch, 52-page artbook filled with extensive artwork, photos, and liner notes.

It includes the full album on CD1, "All Gates Open (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)" on CD2, and the "Luminescent Bridge" EP on CD3 (marking its first CD release). The Blu-ray disc offers the documentary "All Gates Open: In Search of Absolute Elsewhere" and the full album in Dolby Atmos and 5.1 surround sound mixes.

Absolute Elsewhere has garnered widespread critical acclaim. Paul Simpson of AllMusic described it as "a headstrong rush of slashing riffs, complex time signatures, tripped-out growling, and wild, surreal left turns," noting that the album "exceeds all expectations." Dom Lawson of Metal Hammer hailed it as "pure prog-death perfection and one of the best metal albums of 2024." The album has also been recognized in several year-end lists, including Decibel's Top 40 Albums of 2024 and Metal Hammer's Top 50 Albums of 2024.

For those interested in experiencing the album live, Blood Incantation announced a fall 2024 tour to promote Absolute Elsewhere. The tour commenced with a release-day concert on October 4 at the Boulder Theater in Colorado, featuring ambient artist Steve Roach. The tour continued in November, with Midwife as the supporting act, covering major cities across the U.S. and Canada.

Absolute Elsewhere stands as a testament to Blood Incantation's evolution, offering a profound listening experience that transcends traditional genre boundaries.
