Alkaloid - The Malkuth Grimoire (2015) ~Nachote88~

A MUST FOR METALHEADS!!

Their 73-minute debut album is an entirely DIY effort. It was financed through a successful crowdfunding campaign, produced by Alkaloid, and recorded by Hannes Grossmann at Sound-of-Mordor Studio in Nuremberg, Germany.

As for the song you’re about to hear, NCS writer Austin Weber has a few enthusiastic observations:

From the onset, the track explodes like a supernova, igniting a shimmering explosion of guitar pyrotechnics, hellish growls, and decimating drum beats. Yet from its explosive beginnings, the belly of the song evokes a crushing, groovy, Morbid Angel stomp, not dissimilar to the slow-motion massiveness explored on “Ocean Gateways” by Obscura.

A procession of rapid and snaking solos follows from this deathly doom, soon hitting an atmospheric stride of celestial wonder, abounding in dark melodies and a backing flurry of leads. Soon after, the track doubles back into a furious aggressive jaunt before slowly getting quieter and dissolving into the aether.

Quite a dense track indeed, one that showcases a new merger between death metal and progressive elements spun into a vortex of impressive creativity.
