Alkaloid release new song ‘The Cambrian Explosion’

ALKALOID have released a brand new song!

The new song, titled The Cambrian Explosion, is taken from the German progressive metal band’s upcoming new album, Numen, which is scheduled to be released in September this year.

Watch the official lyric video for The Cambrian Explosion here: 

“We’ve all been around the block a few times by now as metal musicians,” says vocalist Morean. “The feeling that we’ve outgrown the narrow niche of pure extreme metal was a main motivator to start this band in the first place, ten years ago. The ‘prog’ tag is handy for us because, per definition, it already encompasses a wider range of possible styles and influences we can get away with than any one specific metal genre. This means we could ensure from the beginning that we’ll always be able to write whatever we want, no matter how crazy our ideas become. The heart of this band is always the songwriting, and we all like complex and virtuosic music in all its diverse manifestations. However, we do share a love for death metal as the smallest common denominator in the band, and we wanted to make sure no one thinks that just because we include melodies, clean guitars, and influences from other genres, we’d automatically sacrifice the brutality and relentless esthetic of extreme metal.”

Numen is set for release on September 15th via Season Of Mist. Pre-orders are available now and can be purchased here.
