German extreme progressive metal supergroup Alkaloid, featuring current and former members of Necrophagist, Obscura, Spawn of Possession, Aborted, Dark Fortress, God Dethroned, Blotted Science and Noneuclid, is streaming “Cthulu” off of their recently completely and highly anticipated debut album The Malkuth Grimoire, here.
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 HERE. A trailer for the crowdfunding campaign can be viewed HERE.
Drummer Hannes Grossmann (Blotted Science, Ex¬-Obscura, Ex¬-Necrophagist) 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!!”
