Algaion was formed in 1993 by Mathias Kamijo and Mårten Björkman.
After two demos we signed to the American label Fullmoon Productions who released our debut CD "Oimai Algeiou" in late 1994, this CD was the first recording of Peter Tägtgren's Abyss Studio.
In 1995 we went back to the Abyss Studio to record four new tracks now featuring Peter Tägtgren as our drummer. These tracks came to be released in 1996 by the Italian label Wounded Love Records/Avantgarde Records as the MCD "Vox Clamentis", the same label also released our latest CD "General Enmity" in 1997.
In 1998 we signed to the Swedish label LNP and recorded a new MCD entitled "The Herostratic Legacy" that never saw release due to LNP filing bankruptcy.
Dispirited, following the problems with LNP, we went on to devote our time to other projects. Mathias toured worldwide playing the guitar with Peter's bands Hypocrisy and Pain while Mårten started the band Arditi which has released four CD's on various labels and has been featured on the two latest CD's by Marduk.
We got together with Algaion again in late 2007 and have now written new songs and gathered a live line-up.
