First time I saw BI was on the a Demilich tour, they played a bunch of stuff from Starspawn and the EP. some dude shouted VITRIFICATION OF BLOOD and the vocalist said not today

Then I saw them with Immolation and Morbid Angel and they only Vitrification in full and one song from this before it was announced lol

To someone who has never heard Death Metal, Blood Incantation’s mockery might seem new. In reality, they are another band who adopted sci-fi tropes while injecting extreme pomp into their mindless technicality. Given they lack the song structure of Between the Buried and Me, Meshuggah,Pyrrhon, Atheist etc., what remains is a simple equation. They failed in having their instruments arbitrarily clash (their only goal), and since there is nothing unique about them or their music, Blood Incantation only act as a much lesser tribute band covering concepts from the 90s with a few added keyboards. Every song has been done before: more proficiently by Nocturnus, Pestilence, Malevolent Creation, and Demilich; more uniquely by Opeth, Portal, Godflesh, and Sepultura. While there is nothing explicitly wrong with the music itself, comparisons can be drawn due to the music's soulless repetition. The real issues are the failure of the instrumentation to hold up and the lack of identity. The apotheosis of their pomp is “Awakening from the Dream of Existence to the Multidimensional Nature of Our Reality (Mirror of the Soul),” which is the longest song on the album (which could have been abbreviated significantly without losing meaning); despite its monumentous length, it manifests all of their imitations, beginning with a typical death metal passage reminiscent of Monstrosity and ending as standard as it began, bridged only by a short-lived sequence of ambience followed by bland slightly psychedelic chords à la Edge of Sanity. After another short section of ambience finishing the 18 minute piece, the 36 minute runtime of the album comes to a close, replete with only re-statements. Their previous efforts were more focused and teemed with long self-indulgent passages, whereas this release exists in a limbo, caught between commercial viability and higher technicality.
