BLOOD INCANTATION - Isaac Faulk opens 'The Stargate' on new album 'Absolute Elsewhere' INTERVIEW

[@nirmalvarma3386]

lykathea aflame! finally a proper shoutout from the man himself...

[@TheMetalTris]

Hell yeah! I love Lykathea Aflame, such a great band. I do wish that we could find their music on streaming though, each time I try and listen I can't find them for love nor money!

[@nirmalvarma3386]

@@TheMetalTris such a shame yeah. Put out one legendary album and then fucked off.. the drummer played in Cult of Fire, a black metal band they are good too..

[@muppetjoe870]

Fantastical interview! Album of the year so far!!!

[@timk6181]

I haven't been as taken by a prog metal album since Blackwater Park.

[@HotelHobbies]

Absolutely loved this interview. Sounds like a great person to speak to and great insights into the album.

[@TheMetalTris]

Thanks so much for your kind words, that really does mean the world mate. Glad that you enjoyed it so much!

[@colorfulrugguy6041]

Great album and nice interview.

[@TheMetalTris]

Thanks so much for the kind words and very glad that you enjoyed the interview as well :)

[@Doctor-Shoebill]

This album fucking OWNS! Nothing short of brilliance!

[@TheMetalTris]

Couldn't agree more. A modern Metal masterpiece and one that I think will be talked about for many years to come. Thanks for checking out the interview!

[@absence7445]

What a great interview! Always love the questions you ask and Isaac gave some incredibly insightful answers. Well done! Really appreciate you putting timestamps for each question as well.

[@TheMetalTris]

Thanks ever so much for your kind words! That really means a lot because it's something that, when you're in the trenches of editing and it feels like there's no real end in sight that definitely makes it worth it haha I'll be uploading my review of Absolute Elsewhere very soon and this week I will also have my interview with Undeath and their album review as well. it's a good week to be a death metal fan!

[@sathingtonwilloughby6199]

Incredible guy. Recording Starspawn in five days! Absolutely mind-boggling to me how you can perform on such a high level and bring that precise of a performance to the tape in just five days. Truly masters of their craft. Also love the fact that the band loves Lykathea Aflame. Was going to listen to the album at the Babelsberg Studios but sadly had to cancel it because I got sick. Can't wait to hear The Message.

[@TheMetalTris]

I know right?! I can't believe how the band recorded that record in 5 days you know what I mean?! Lykathea Aflame are such a great band too right? Ahh that's a shame on the Babelsberg bit there mate, I am sure that would have been fantastic. Still though, another couple of hours and it's yours! Let me know what you think of The Message :)

[@sathingtonwilloughby6199]

​@@TheMetalTris Just listened to it and man... It was something absolute else. I mean Hidden History will forever hold a special place in my soul but this is another 10/10 record.

[@lolh4x]

This album is literally so fucking sick. I normally don't vibe super hard with keyboards/synths in metal most of the time. This album completely changed that and blew me away.

[@TheMetalTris]

Couldn't agree more. This is one of the best albums that we've heard in a long time and will be talked about for many years to come I find! Thanks for checking out the video and I hope you enjoyed the interview :)

[@noogie1]

I can't wait! I've met Issac, he rules! Super pumped for the album!

[@TheMetalTris]

He really is the loveliest fella isn't he?! Thanks so much for checking out the video and I hope that you enjoyed the interview. I know that it was a pretty big one but there was just so much on here that I thought fans and fellow nerds like me would love haha!

[@VitrificationOfBlood]

Great interview! Love this band so much and the new album doesn't disappoint!

[@TheMetalTris]

Hell yeah! Thanks so much for checking out the video, I hope that you enjoyed the chat as well and found out some interesting elements about the new record. What a band!

[@thecelestialmutant102]

this interview is so fucking good. What a great insight into the band!

[@TheMetalTris]

Dude thanks so much Tom, means the world mate. I really loved chatting with Isaac on this one and as we both know, we're big fans of Blood Incantation haha one of the best bands out there. Thanks for checking the video out man!

[@bruffyb3796]

Can't wait for this dude! Progressive death metal at its best, hopefully we'll get a new Rivers of Nihil aswell.

[@TheMetalTris]

Fingers crossed it'll be coming soon eh! It'll be great to have more of them as well. Music is in such a fantastic place at the moment I really do think. Between BI, RON, Urne (as you mentioned), Cattle Decap, Horrendous, Tomb Mold, 200 Stab Wounds, Pallbearer, Elder so much great stuff out there!

[@brianstice2950]

I met Isaac last wayfarer tour. Such a down to earth cool guy. I wish him all the success in the world!

[@TrevorGintheplace2Be]

Amazing interview!!! Thanks!

[@TheMetalTris]

Thanks so much for your kind words! And also for checking out the interview in the first place as well. It's hugely appreciated and I absolutely love this band. Excellent bunch of dudes, what do you think of the new record?!

[@TrevorGintheplace2Be]

@@TheMetalTris Album is absolutely amazing! Don't judge me to harshly but I stayed up late last night and listened through it in the dark lol. I agree with you, this is where i have wanted the band to go. Ever since I heard Paul mention in an interview that there was "a gulf of sounds for us to explore" between the ambient stuff and the brutal stuff. Honestly it's way better than i could have imagined. I remember being psyched out of my mind when BTBAMs opus "Colors" came out, this kinda makes it seem hoakey to me now lol... This is prog, yes as a sounds we all recognize from previous eras... but even more important, it's truly progressive in that we have never heard these sounds so beautifully situated next to eachother. truly forward thinking and surprisingly so listenable. feast for the ears for sure! Now i just want them to score movies.

[@pan.satyros131]

Amazing album. Stoked for the last show of the tour in Omaha!

[@TheMetalTris]

Hell yeah! Glad that you're a fan and thank you ever so much for checking out the video as well, it means the world that people are such big fans of both the band and also the channel too!

[@hectorThechilldudeonacouch]

This album will be interesting. Great interview.

[@TheMetalTris]

Hell yeah dude, it's THE album of the year for me currently. there's just nothing out there that sounds like it as far as I am concerned. You gotta feature it on the couch man!

[@hectorThechilldudeonacouch]

@@TheMetalTris I will

[@colkutz8313]

I grew to love Timewave Zero. Absolute Elsewhere arrived in the mail yesterday and am looking forward to listening on repeat for the next few weeks...so far I'm noticing and loving the humanity of the drums, a very live sound. Thank you Blood Incantation. Thanks Tristan for a great interview!

[@TheMetalTris]

Thank you ever so much for your kind words here! Really do appreciate it and it means a lot. I really wanted this interview to be a good one and I think that we very much got into the weird and wonderful world of Absolute Elsewhere haha - that's a really great shout on the live sound aspect of the drums. I hadn't really thought about that but you're absolutely right! Great catch, I've reviewed the record as well if you're interested!

[@anthonyg1791]

Great interview

[@TheMetalTris]

Hey there Anthony, thanks so much for the kind words! Glad that you enjoyed the chat, I'll be having my review uploaded very soon as well :)

[@maxwellholmes594]

bro i thought the hairdo from their promo pics was his actual hair hahahaha

[@brucefinney2344]

Where do I get that Battlefield Earth t-shit!

[@AntZombie121]

I wonder if Steve Wilson has listened to blood incantation?

[@israelthacker8568]

I was thinking the same thing when I first listened to this album!

[@PropagandrejMinister]

[@grafikmetal]

Blood Incantation seems to grasp better than most that to be human is both life and death.

[@TheMetalTris]

Couldn't agree more. That is totally what it means and yet also interesting to explore the world in-between as well. Truly one of the best records we've had in a very long time

[@HenryRuins]

Timewave Zero was perfect fans who trash the record imho just don't get it so I recommend for everybody to watch Amoeba's What's In my Bag? episode to get the understanding why the band does the things they do

[@TheMetalTris]

Oh my god YES! That episode is so good and I picked up some real gems from their recommendations with Klaus Schulze etc... really exciting stuff and for someone that has no idea where to start with New Age / Ambient kind of stuff so that really helped me. Thanks for checking out the video and for commenting too!

Here you go my friend! Lykathea Flame

[@dusiolek6]

​@@TheMetalTris thank you!

[@44DoubleZer00_Studios]

Since this new album is more progressive and very classic rock vibes, I woul REALLY like to see them do an epic/symphonic death metal album. In that style of Septicflesh, but more cosmic like

[@TheMetalTris]

Oh wow! That would be interesting. I can sort of imagine that but also can't at the same time you know? I am sure that whatever the band have got cooking will be just as incredible. I am sure that they're already looking ahead at what they can do and achieve. Let me know what you think of the record now that it's out and thank you so much for checking out this interview too!

[@richardjefferies3420]

Oh dear, man…when interviewers can’t interview, man…

[@TheMetalTris]

Hey there mate! First off, thanks ever so much for checking out the video, what was it that you thought wasn't very good about the interview?

[@WitchfinderGeneral-p3t]

Wow! This band never fails to surprise me with how incredibly bad they are. The pinnacle is their constant self-fellatio. This sounds like bad Pink Floyd. Nothing they've put out is anywhere near remotely being good. And the lyrics are laughable. Well done at making another steaming pile.

[@henrywalton5967]

Go on then, let's hear your music

@@WitchfinderGeneral-p3t definitely not my favourite band but I do like them. But you're dissing their art and doubt you have made anything this amazing.
