Blood Incantation have announced a theatrical screening for their ‘The Stargate‘ short film. Not to be confused with the 73-minute documentary feature, ‘All Gates Open: In Search Of Absolute Elsewhere‘, which chronicles the making of their new album “Absolute Everywhere“, this venture instead serves a as visual accompaniment to the first movement of that record.
A press release offered the following of it:
‘Blood Incantation have announced The Stargate short film which exquisitely captures the entirety of Absolute Elsewhere’s first sprawling movement. The Stargate presents the saga of a mysterious artifact and its victims in a hallucinatory synthesis of science fiction and folk horror, where mind bending imagery and unsettling atmospheres converge in a surreal tale of primeval blood magic, interdimensional travel and grotesque otherworldly technology beginning in the Dark Ages and journeying into voids of deep space.
Directed by award winning cinematographer Michael Ragen (Guillermo del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities: The Viewing) and featuring mesmerizing analog fluid effects by Chris Parks (The Fountain) with an original score by Blood Incantation, The Stargate is unlike anything you have experienced before.’
You can catch the film at Brain Dead Studios in Los Angeles, CA on September 10th. A Q&A with the band and Ragen will also be held at the screening, which will also serve as a double feature, as the 1986 sci-fi horror ‘From Beyond‘ will also be shown. Blood Incantation‘s new album “Absolute Everywhere” will be out on October 04th. Touring plans on that record include the following shows.
