Official statement from Pulverised Records




Pulverised Records welcomes the legendary ALGAION!


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.

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!

This is our new official site.



Contrary to what many believe we never did split up. We have never been very productive, but the years 1993 through 1997 when we went recording at least three times, were followed by 1998 through 2007 of doing nothing. This was mainly due to lack of inspiration and us being involved in other projects.

In May 2008 England's Arcane Promotion Agency convinced us to go there and do a comeback gig. Video footage from that event can be found in the video-section of this site. With the first rehearsals in a very long time inspiration apparently came back, since May we have been in and out of Helltower Studio recording new material.
