History
Krisiun was formed in 1990, by three brothers, vocalist/bassist Alex Camargo, guitarist Moyses Kolesne and drummer Max Kolesne. (Alex uses his mother's maiden name). They have toured extensively through
North America,
South America and
Europe (recording their first official DVD while in
Poland).
The band is heavily influenced by the debut albums of
Sodom,
Kreator,
Morbid Angel and
Slayer. Their violent lyrics and very fast musical tempo makes them one of the most eminent "extreme death metal" bands in the world today.
They released two demos before moving to
São Paulo in 1995. People there had already started to notice the budding talent of the band. Shortly after the move, their second guitarist Altemir Souza left the band and returned to Porto Alegre (where he died in a
motorbike accident in 2002).
The
Unmerciful Order
EP (their only "major" recording featuring a second guitarist, namely Mauricio Nogueira of
Torture Squad) established the band as a cult act, and that status was further confirmed by the release of their debut album
Black Force Domain
(now as a trio) in 1995. The following albums continued to improve their brutal and uncompromising approach to death metal.
In February-March 2007, the band toured
North America with
Unleashed,
Belphegor and
Hatesphere. The band spent May and June 2007 on the road through Europe alongside
Immolation and
Grave. Early September 2007 saw them hitting the road again touring Northern Europe. And the last two weeks of September were spent in Russia on the Flaming Arts Festival tour. October 2007 saw
Krisiun
touring Poland and the Balkans extensively with
Vader,
Incantation and
Rotting Christ.
In April-May 2008, the band recorded their latest in Stage One Studios in the city of Borgentreich, Germany. It was produced by Andy Classen who had worked with the Brazilians on the album
Conquerors of Armageddon
and
AssassiNation
.
The new album was given the name
Southern Storm
and the launch in Europe was July 21, 2008 via Century Media Records. The disc brought 12 new tracks and a version of "Refuse/Resist", the
Sepultura classic from the
Chaos A.D.
album.
