Algaion - Reunited And Working On New Material
After a great long decade of silence, Swedish Melodic Black Metallers Algaion is back to the fold, reunited and preparations of a new full-length album are underway.
Previously busy on his stint with other bands (Hypocrisy, Pain, etc) and also currently in Swedish Power Metal band Morifade, Mathias Kamijo decided that it was time to resurrect the ghost of Algaion and brought it back to life in 2008 together with founding member Mårten Björkman.
New blood have since joined the Algaion camp, with current members from Coporation 187 (Viktor Klint and Robert Eng contributing on guitars and drums respectively) and Tobias Leffler (previously in Vergelmer and N.C.O) on bass.
In the meantime, the band signed a record deal with Pulverised Records. The label commented: "It is our great pleasure to have Algaion join the ranks of the Pulverised Records roster; we are very excited and definitely looking forward to a great working releationship with such a veteran class act!"
Algaion was formed in the early autumn of 1993, but already broke up five years later, after releasing two full-lengths. Peter Tägtgren, who recorded one of those albums, also played drums on one of the band's EP's.
