Blood Incantation were loading their equipment into Berlin’s fabled Hansa Studios to record their fourth album, Absolute Elsewhere, when they were mistaken for Depeche Mode.
“There were seven or eight people outside the studio, taking pictures,” says Paul Riedl, singer and guitarist with the Denver genre-splicers. “We roll up with all our gear, and they say, ‘Are you Depeche Mode?’ We’re like, ‘No, we’re clearly not.’ That didn’t stop them trying to sneak into the foyer with us.”
