Blood Incantation Tour 2026

Interstellar death metallers Blood Incantation expand horizons with their newest 12-inch maxi single, Luminescent Bridge. Featuring "Obliquity of the Ecliptic" and "Luminescent Bridge," the two-track mind-bender plunges listeners into the depths of the abyss and the furthest reaches of space. Last year, Blood Incantation telegraphed their love of and respect for kosmische musik with their acclaimed instrumental album, Timewave Zero. Luminescent Bridge is yet another stepping stone into the group's final form. "Obliquity of the Ecliptic" is voidward death metal—crushingly opaque, mysterious, and inquisitive. The side-A track builds off the finer points of albums Starspawn (2016) Hidden History of the Human Race (2019), but the cosmogonic regality adds new dimensions to Blood Incantation's ever-widening framework. On side-B, "Luminescent Bridge" pivots to the introspection of infinity. Created entirely in the studio, the nine-minute track plays out like a dying star—ominous, forlorn, yet hopeful of rebirth. Luminescent Bridge was recorded at Rocky Mountain Recorders Studio (Denver, Colorado) with Chris McNaughton. Arthur Rizk (e.g. Kreator) mixed and mastered. Renowned sci-fi/fantasy artist Steve R. Dodd painted the cover art for Luminescent Bridge. The band says, "As for what's to come, it is safe to say that people haven't seen anything yet when it comes to what Blood Incantation is capable of. But for the time being, they must cross this short bridge first."
