Alkaloid, the band featuring drummer Hannes Grossmann (Howling Sycamore, ex-Obscura), bassist Linus Klausenitzer (Noneuclid, Obscura), guitarists Christian Münzner (ex-Spawn of Possession, ex-Obscura) and Danny Tunker (ex-Aborted), and vocalist Morean (Dark Fortress, Noneuclid) are proud to announce that their new album, Liquid Anatomy, will be released on May 18th via Season Of Mist. What can we expect? Hannes states, “On our new album ‘Liquid Anatomy‘ there will be 8 songs which drastically differ from another. The stylistic and dynamic range will be much wider than on our first album. At the same time we managed to make a cohesive record on which every song stands for its own and simultaneously adds to the whole picture. Even though ‘Azagthoth‘ is quite catchy, it’s a very complex track with polyrhythmic time signatures. On the drums for example, in the chorus of the song I play a simple 4/4 with my hands while my feet and the guitars mimic a 5/8 that is going on throughout the entire track. I guess it is no surprise to anyone who heard our last album that we are using complex musical patterns. However complexity or playing techniques are not the things that matter the most in our songwriting. We just want to write good, unique and timeless songs without having to stick to any stylistic musical boundaries. Well, that said, I hope you’ll find this song as good as we do. Have fun listening!”
