The new album Phlegethon, of Italian progressive metallers Kingcrow, will be available worldwide on May 17th 2010 through Scarlet Records.

A new song "Evasion" from that album is available for download at this location (.mp3). More samples are available here.

The album Phlegethon is described as "a new overall and exciting concept, representing the very best of their progressive rock/metal approach. According to the band: "This new discs finds us exploring paths of progressive rock and metal we've never ventured before - it is an exciting time for us and we feel more confident about Kingcrow's future then ever".

"Describing the band today is quite a difficult task, but one could state that the influence of such artists as Porcupine Tree, Riverside, Opeth, Orphaned Land or even Dream Theater in their more subtle moments are all present in the music of Kingcrow. With each release Kingcrow has taken a step further away from their original roots as a classic hard rock / metal band and is today one of the most exciting bands that Italy has to offer."
