In the early months of 2010 the band finished recording their new album “Phlegethon” that was released in june of the same year under the “Scarlet Records” label. It was considered on an international level as a relevant masterpiece and was classed as one of the elite prog metal albums of the year With Hopium, Kingcrow delivers a poignant album that fuses profound introspection with the raw vitality of rock.
