Algaion: 'Exthros'

A 1:05-minute video trailer from Swedish dark metallers Algaion's upcoming full-length effort entitled 'Exthros' (which means "enemy" in Greek), is now available at this location.

'Exthros' is Algaion's first full-length album in 13 years, since the last ever effort 'General Enmity' in 1997, albeit a vast change of musical direction comparing to the melancholic style clearly evident in 'Exthros'.

The pivotal alliance of disheartened melodies and hauntingly unforgettable tunes; this is exactly what longtime Swedish kings of despondence Algaion is all about.

Thirteen years of unvented disconsolation resulted in the spawn of 'Exthros' and is already one of the most powerful and dazzling showcase of amorous melo-riffage, unorthodox yet sensual passages and the undeniably flawless performance of Mathias Kamijo (ex-Pain, Morifade), Mårten Björkman (Arditi, ex-Octinomos) and Robert Eng (Corporation 187, ex-Satanic Slaughter).

'Exthros' is an unrivaled blend of scathing blackened death metal with the incessant alluring gloom that made Algaion ever so unique to begin with.
