Alkymist
ALKYMIST is a new force in doom metal-a force which, in its own manner, seeks to bring the hope of change into a time of turmoil. The band was formed in 2016 by guitarist Stefan Krey (Gas Giant) and bass player Kaspar Luke(Dureforsog) with the intention of creating the heaviest possible music within a progressive and atmospheric universe. In 2017, the line-up was completed by singer Peter Bjorneg (Detest) and drummer Philip Kjr Morthorst (The Ritual) and, subsequently,the quartet recorded the debut EP Element, which was released January 2018. The EPs inspired and original approach to progressive sludgy doom, as well as the mystical and minimalistic visual aesthetics, created a buzz in the Danish scene, where expectations for the bands forthcoming release have been notable. Now, ALKYMIST are ready with their self titled debut album, which consists of six grandiose metal compositions over 44 minutes, recorded and produced by Lasse Ballade (Solbrud, Orm, Slaegt).
