Numen | LP | Alkaloid

Transparent orange 12' double Vinyl (33 rpm) in gatefold with 4-page insert, limited to 250 copies worldwide.

Numen is the third album by ALKALOID, and it contains some of the band's most intricate, thought-provoking, but also completely insane ideas. The album is told from the god-like perspective of an ancient extraterrestrial who can reshape the entire galaxy with their demonic growls.

ALKALOID are 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 plays with all sorts 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
