Blood Incantation – Astral Spells 10" MLP

Every story has a beginning… Mind you, technically speaking, this wasn’t exactly THE beginning for the BLOOD INCANTATION guys. By that time, the Colorado lot been together for roughly three years and had put out low-key, limited and rough sounding material available to friends and family only. But one could say that it’s truly on the Astral Spells demo that BLOOD INCANTATION fully became BLOOD INCANTATION. Compiling two rough unmixed demo versions of 'Hovering Lifeless' and 'Mephitic Effluvia', and an even rougher live versions of both 'The Vth Tablet' and 'Obfuscating The Linear Threshold', it's here for the first time that the cosmic vibe, weird guitar patterns and overall 'oddness' became apparent — with then session member Damon Good from the mighty MOURNFUL CONGREGATION and STARGAZER adding his personal touch on fretless bass. Originally released as a cassette in a limited run of 100 copies, the studio side of this tape was meant to serve as a basis for what would become their debut EP Interdimensional Extinction. However, due to the sound engineer losing the tracks, the release had to be remixed, thus making those first versions quite exclusive. Pressed by Doomentia Records on 10" vinyl, including a 6-panel booklet with lyrics, two interviews from 2013 and 2014, archive photos and even testimonials from both Paul Riedl (guitar and vocals) and Damon Good, making this long-awaited reissue worthy of the legend BLOOD INCANTATION has become ten years later.
