Self-awareness is a beautiful thing. Think about this for a moment. You’re a death metal band at the top of your game. Your last record, Hidden History of the Human Race was lauded to the genre’s loftier heights; transcending critical reception and launching the band’s name well past the limits of that said genre. What do you do? Well if you’re Blood Incantation (lucky you!), you do exactly whatever you desire. Naturally, that means this death metal juggernaut is prime to release a completely ambient record, purple smoke and airy mysticism. Wait. What? Not that any of this has been a state secret. For quite a while now these guys have been pretty open about where album number three would go. Wider descriptions of psychedelics a la Pink Floyd and airy kaleidoscope ambience progressions have been dangled in front of the fan base more akin to worshiping gnarled, distorted riffs and blasted snare sections. As you could imagine; the album’s reception hasn’t yet stood the tests of time. Thankfully, Timewave Zero is a journey through both space and time. Continuing Blood Incantation’s surge from one successful record to the next.
