Alkaloid Signs Record Deal With Season Of Mist

posted Nov 2, 2016 at 12:40 PM by xFiruath.  (11 Comments)

Season of Mist is proud to announce the signing of the German/Dutch progressive extreme metal band Alkaloid. You may recall Alkaloid earned the runner-up spot for "best metal newcomer of 2015" in our year-end awards, just barely being edged out by Gruesome.

Alkaloid features Hannes Grossman (ex-Obscura, Blotted Science) on drums, Christian Munzner (ex-Obscura, ex-Necrophagist) on guitar, Linus Klausenitzer (Obscura, Noneuclid) on bass, Danny Tunker (ex-Aborted) on guitar, and Morean (Dark Fortress) on vocals and guitar.

The band is now writing a second album to follow "The Malkuth Grimoire" (reviewed here), which is slated for a 2017 release via Season Of Mist. Regarding this signing, the band comments:

"After crowdfunding and self-releasing our debut album 'The Malkuth Grimoire', we have come to a point where we simply need a reliable partner, who fully understands our musical vision and believes in it 100%. Therefore Season of Mist is the perfect label for us. We are extremely excited about our collaboration and cannot wait to start producing our next album."

In Alkaloid's own words, the band is defined "through the field of tension created between musical opposites. Alkaloid merges extreme metal and other more diverse genres of music into a unique style that people will somehow find familiar, but haven‘t heard yet."

when hannes and christian left obscura i thought my prog tech death world was ending but between this band, the new obscura album, and hannes and christian solo albums their is so much more music to enjoy. looking forward to a new Alkaloid album, and to every one who wants extra obscura albums make sure your not sleeping in on the Hannes Grossmann solo albums

Quick! "A" needs a Heimlich maneuver! It sounds like he's choking. I can only speculate on what is caught in his throat.


On topic. Alkaloid (and Hannes solo project) is/are top notch progressive death metal. Glad that SoM signed them up.

Can't wait to see what happens next. I personally voted Alkaloid over Gruesome but you don't win 'em all. I see A is having a kak attack again. Dude needs to see a doctor about that.

Te bi trebao poboljšati svoj engleski i gramatike, tako da možete vrijeđati ljude učinkovito. Gledaš djetinjast i neuki sada.

English translation:
You should improve your English and grammar, so you can insult people effectively. You're looking childish and ignorant now.
