New Alkaloid neurotransmitter 2023-08-22 by Azazzel | 6 Comments | Mad scientists Alkaloid, featuring members of Obscura, Triptykon, and Dark Fortress, have cooked up a new batch of highly-anticipated mind altering metallurgy to flood and rewire our synapses. Numen, their 3rd LP, is due out September 15 on Seasons of Mist and clocks in at 70 minutes over 2 Discs.
The first dopaminergic brain blast on offer is title track "Numen (Dyson VII)", out now. A continuation of their unique sound forging new psychonaut pathways through musical-neurogenesis to dimensions unknown.
"We proudly present the title track of our new album, and the first of three new chapters in the ongoing Dyson Saga up the Kardashev Scale. Through mindbogglingly complex manipulation of mass, electromagnetism and the structure of spacetime itself over countless aeons, “Numen” transforms into an acceleration hub for sentinel worldlets sent toward other galaxies. "
"‘The title, ‘Numen‘, got its start at the dawning of Alkaloid. It’s a word that Morean fell in love with immediately, and he knew it had a place in his creative endeavors. Whereas The Malkuth Grimoire talked about combining existing elements into new structures, and Liquid Anatomy dealt with the creation of new elements, ‘Numen‘ tries to look at the universe from a kind of meta-perspective from an imaginary god, as if the space that everything happens in was given a voice and a role as observer and shaper of everything that happens."
“Musically, we mangled materials inspired by Rainbow and Pink Floyd, as well as Meshuggah into a polyrhythmic context, while still staying true to the sound of our Dyson world. The subtle but continuous disturbance of the main 12/16 groove by a stubborn 7/16 layer is a hint at the massive forces at play in the story”.
“We’ve all been around the block a few times by now as metal musicians,” says songsmith 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.”
