“Inner Paths (to Outer Space)” is what happens when one of the best new American metal bands invites us along for a vision quest. “We improvised this track on psychedelics over a period of several months, allowing it to grow and evolve as it chose,” Blood Incantation said of the first taste from their long-awaited second album, Hidden History of the Human Race. From the Colorado quartet known for giving pulverizing, cosmic soundtracks to ancient alien conspiracy theories, “Inner Paths” spends most of its runtime patiently building toward the quicksand-deep death metal they perfected on 2016’s Starspawn. It’s more surreal and atmospheric than anything they’ve recorded, with Jeff Barrett’s fretless bass taking a predominant role. And once they hit their peak, over Isaac Faulk’s rippling blastbeat, they don’t just recall their ’90s forebears; they actually bring one on board, enlisting Demilich vocalist Antti Boman for a long, hellish gurgle that emerges from the song’s bottomless depths before dissolving back into the atmosphere. As with all their best work, Blood Incantation scoured the past and found a portal to a world that feels nightmarish, new, and breathtakingly alive.

美国最优秀的新一代金属乐队之一Blood Incantation在新歌“心灵之路(通向太空)”中邀请我们一同进行了一场视觉探索。“这首歌是即兴创作的，有关迷幻剂，花了我们几个月的时间，好让这旋律肆意成长和演变，”Blood Incantation如此般评价了他们万众瞩目的第二张专辑《Hidden History of the Human Race/不为人知的人类历史》的第一首释出单曲。从以音乐分散性极高而闻名的科罗拉多四重奏到古老的外星阴谋论，这首歌的大部分音符都在耐心地构建着死亡金属乐，向他们在2016年发行的专辑《Starspawn》中完美而熟练的流沙般深层的音乐靠拢。这首歌比他们以往的任何作品都更超现实、更有氛围，Jeff Barrett的无品贝斯格外精妙。一旦他们似乎技达顶峰，但又有Isaac Faulk的阵阵冲击音，他们不仅能让人回想起了90年代的前辈们的音乐；实际上，他们还邀请了一位半巫妖的歌手Antti Boman加入制作，在歌曲呈现的无底深渊中发出地狱般的长时间汩汩声，然后又蒸发殆尽。这首歌和他们所有的佳曲一样，在歌曲中Blood Incantation追溯了过去，找到了新的入口，通往一个充满梦魇的世界，一个崭新且令人窒息的世界。
