Krisiun Writing New Album
Brazilian death metallers Krisiun near songwriting completion for the as-yet-untitiled follow-up to last year's Ageless Venomous.
"The new album will be different from all the death metal bands, it's not a promise to be the best or godly or shit, it`s gonna be just Krisiun on full aggression, power, and originality delivering the real death metal," said guitarist Moyses Kolesne. "After 12 years of touring and recording we keep progressing and learning, and definately much surprises will come from Krisiun on the next time. Krisiun lives only for the most aggressive death metal, fuck the fake cheesy shit bands which claim to be the best, fuck gothic, fuck melodic, fuck trendy weak new metal. Death metal is war and vengeance." More...
