ALKALOID Premiere Song “Cthulu”
January 28, 2015, 9 years ago
Germany's most extreme progressive metal supergroup, Alkaloid has recently completed their debut album The Malkuth Grimoire. In celebration of this event, the band has premiered the song "Cthulu":
Consisting of a pedigree of extreme musicians, including current and former members of Necrophagist, Obscura, Spawn of Possession, Aborted, Dark Fortress, God Dethroned, Blotted Science and Noneuclid, Alkaloid set out to push the boundaries of progressive, extreme music on their full-length debut. The group also decided to self-record and self-release The Malkuth Grimoire via a crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo. The campaign has less than three days remaining and the band has already surpassed their goal.
Besides CDs, downloads and t-shirts, the band is offering perks which include personal items, equipment of current and previous recordings plus the offer to do session work for a contributor's own project.
Drummer Hannes Grossmann (Blotted Science, exObscura, exNecrophagist) commented on the completion of the album:
"We finished the mix of The Malkuth Grimoire. Well, what can I say...it's a monolith. I really have no clue how people will react when hearing the whole thing. But I'm happy. No doubt that it is the best sounding record of my career. And it' heavy...I mean HEAVY!!"“Carbon Phases”:
