Germany's most extreme progressive metal supergroup, ALKALOID have recently completed their highly anticipated debut album The Malkuth Grimoire. In celebration of this event, the band has premiered the song "Cthulu" via MetalSucks https://www.metalsucks.net/2015/01/28/exclusive-track-debut-cthulu-alkaloid/.

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.com. The campaign has less than three days remaining and the band has already surpassed their goal.

ALKALOID previously released the single "Carbon Phases" along with an album teaser which can both be heard https://soundcloud.com/alkaloidband. A trailer for the crowdfunding campaign can be viewed

About Alkaloid:

Alkaloid is a new band created by five good friends, who happen to be well-known musicians of the metal genre. Their intention is to go beyond any limit that metal music sub-genres might have these days and create the world's most extreme Prog Metal band.

They define themselves through the field of tension created between musical opposites. All band members are active death metal musicians who nevertheless all have a much broader view of music than blast beats and growls. They establish from the beginning that they have many faces, and that oscillating between (seemingly) contrary or mutually exclusive styles is an important factor.
