Preview: Blood Incantation Bring Cosmic Death Metal to Lisbon This October
The American death metal visionaries Blood Incantation return to Portugal this autumn for an exclusive headline date at Music Station, Lisbon, on Saturday, October 18, 2025. The show marks the band’s only Portuguese appearance on their ongoing Absolute Elsewhere European tour.
Hailing from Denver, Colorado, Blood Incantation have carved out a distinctive place in the metal landscape with their fusion of progressive death metal, psychedelic ambience and cosmic themes. Their latest record, Absolute Elsewhere (2024), has been hailed as a creative breakthrough — praised by The Wire, Pitchfork, Kerrang! and The Quietus, which called it “the most significant death metal album since Altars of Madness.”
Led by guitarist and vocalist Paul Riedl, the quartet are known for transforming their intricate studio compositions into overwhelming live experiences. Their performances combine relentless technical precision with an otherworldly atmosphere that has made them one of the most talked-about acts in modern extreme music.
Opening the evening is Author & Punisher, the industrial doom project of engineer and sound artist Tristan Shone. Renowned for building and performing with his own Drone Machines — custom mechanical instruments that blur the boundary between human and machine — Shone returns to Portugal for the first time since his striking set at Amplifest 2019. His performances deliver a visceral exploration of automation, sound design, and the physicality of music itself.
Presented by Amplificasom, this event promises a night where death metal’s cosmic vastness meets industrial precision — a rare opportunity to witness two of the most forward-thinking forces in heavy music sharing the same stage.
