This German group of mad scientists blends technical proficiency with sci-fi inspired themes

ALKALOID

German collective Alkaloid knows no bounds. Morean, Hannes Grossmann, Linus Klausenitzer and Christian Münzner had already defied the laws of the metalverse as members of Obscura, Triptykon and Dark Fortress, but since banding together as a supergroup in 2013, they have rearranged the very composition of Progressive Death Metal. Their three studio albums fuse everything from otherworldly polyrhythms and sci-fi concepts to monstrous growls, brutally technical riffs and infectious choruses.

Despite their already impressive discography, during the summer of 2024, Alkaloid conducted a boundary-pushing performance that, once and for all, proved their alchemical mastery. With their new live album Bach Out of Bounds, the band build fascinating parallels between their unmatched compositions and revered composer Johann Sebastien Bach, and in a feat of reverse engineering, it also transfuses the soul of Bach into Alkaloid’s own creations.

Here's your chance to catch them live in Munich at Prog Metal Mania 2027!
