Blood Incantation: All Gates Open - In Search of Absolute Elsewhere (2026)

With the film 'All Gates Open' the American progressive death metal band Blood Incantation takes you behind the scenes of the band’s time in Berlin while recording their latest album 'Absolute Elsewhere'. Simultaniously with the new release of the official soundtrack, the film is now presented for the first time as a cinema screening.

Filmed at the legendary Hansa Studios, the documentary captures the band in their natural environment — writing, rehearsing, recording, and exploring the city. It’s an intimate and unfiltered look at a unique creative process, shaped by Berlin’s atmosphere and culture. This is not a typical music documentary, but a deep dive into how an album comes to life — raw, immersive and honest.

Melkweg often hosts different types of programmes at the same time, such as concerts, club nights and films. Please note that there may occasionally be some noise pollution from other programmes during the screening.
