Numen

Description

2-CD in deluxe digibook format (19x19cm) with a 36-page booklet, limited to the first pressing. 'Numen' is the third album by ALKALOID and it features some of the band's most intricate, thought-provoking, and completely insane ideas. The album is narrated from the godlike perspective of an ancient alien who can reshape the entire galaxy with his demonic growls. ALKALOID is still connected by their love for death metal. After all, they are a supergroup consisting of founding members of OBSCURA, DARK FORTRESS, and SPAWN OF POSSESSION. The fiery, finger-tapped solo that crysheightizes after the halfway point of 'Clusterfuck' is crushed like an ant under a Drop-D hammerstorm. But on 'Numen,' the Bavarian band also play around with all kinds of genre experiments. 'The Cambrian Explosion' turns tech-death upside down with seductive hints of jazz and flamenco. ALKALOID are the mad scientists of metal. With 'Numen,' they have created another explosive mixture of progressive death metal! For fans of: OBSCURA, BEYOND CREATION, FRACTAL UNIVERSE Read more
