KRISIUN will be touring in support of their recently released, 8th studio album, The Great Execution, which can be purchased on CM Distro here. Produced by Andy Classen at Stage One Studio in Germany, The Great Execution musically expands upon the trio’s trademark high-speed death metal with an increased amount of diversity, ranging from extreme tempo variations over distinct rhythm patterns to clean guitars—and even Flamenco parts! KRISIUN also used only analog gear and instruments while recording this album to avoid the compressed sound that so many musicians produce today.

The Danish metal festival Day of Decay returns with a new venue and an international top act to headline the bill.

For the third consecutive year, the annual one-day festival will annihilate the city of Aalborg in Northern Denmark and the gory devastation is set to take place on May 18th at Studenterhuset (students’ house).

The first confirmed bands are a true triple-headed metal monster consisting of the Brazilian deathmetal veterans of Krisiun, the melodic metal masters of Mercenary, and the upcoming local thrash heroes of Caro (formerly Omen).

“We are very proud to announce Krisiun – one of the greatest deathmetal bands around today. Having them play in Aalborg certainly is a big thing,” says Carsten Brogaard Pedersen, chairman of the Music Association Day of Decay, the organization behind the festival.

Since their conception in 1990, Krisiun has released eight albums and performed on stages worldwide. The latest album is the critically acclaimed “The Great Execution” which was released on Century Media in October 2011.

Second band on the bill – the merciless Mercenary – was formed in 1991 and has toured all over Europe and the US. For the past decade, Mercenary has been a pioneer for Danish metal on the international stage, verified by the release of six succesful albums. After several line-up changes, the band is back with a strong album and the four-piece is all set to destroy their hometown with their show at Day of Decay.

With a freshly signed contract with the US label Rogue Records America and a debut album coming out later this year, the thrash metal upstarts in Caro are determined to turn some heads. “They are a very skillful band so we think they are a perfect match for Day of Decay. One of the points of the festival is to support the metal scene in Northern Denmark, and we want to help these upcoming bands on their way by creating some good connections and expanding their network,” says Carsten Brogaard Pedersen.

In the past two years, the festival took place at two different outdoor venues, but this year Day of Decay is going down at an indoor location. “To us, as festival organizers, the collaboration with Studenterhuset entails a lot of advantages; and it is cool having a professional and experienced music venue to back us up – this is going to be the best Day of Decay so far!” says Carsten.

Day of Decay 2012 will feature around 10 bands comprised of international and Danish top acts as well as local bands. The organizers have formed a partnership with W:O:A Metal Battle which means that the Danish winners will perform at Day of Decay.

Tickets are DKK 250 (34 Euro for all you non-Danish readers) plus a fee, and they can be purchased online at www.billetlugen.dk as well as all other outlets of Billetlugen.

In anticipation of the imminent release of KRISIUN’s The Great Execution (due out October 31st in Europe and November 1st in North America), the Brazilian death metal trio is now giving fans yet another preview of the release with a new album teaser trailer! Click the link below for a preview of The Great Execution:

The Great Execution , produced once again by Andy Classen at Stage One Studio, is the band’s 8th studio album and musically expands KRISIUN’s trademark high speed death metal violence with a heavily increased amount of diversity, ranging from extreme tempo variations over distinct rhythm patterns to clean guitars—and even Flamenco parts!

KRISIUN only used analogue gear and instruments while recording in order to avoid the compressed sound that so many musicians produce today. This wise decision resulted in a more organic sound, with the songs on The Great Execution possessing both a warmth and rawness that are so often lost through digital production.

Only two weeks away from the release of their highly anticipated new offering The Great Execution (which will be released via Century Media Records on October 31st in Europe and November 1st in the US), the death metal trio KRISIUN is now unleashing a second song upon the masses. “Rise and Confront” is a relentless track that will blow your brains out– check it out here: www.facebook.com/krisiun.official

And for those who cannot wait to see the brothers perform the new breed of brutality live onstage, there’s more good news along the way. The gang of three will be playing a full blown European tour in January and February 2012 (exact dates to be announced very shortly).

Brazilian death metalers KRISIUN triumphantly return with their newest monument of brutality, “The Great Execution”, set for release on November 1st in North America!

“The Great Execution” is the band’s 8th studio album and musically expands KRISIUN’s trademark high speed death metal violence with a heavily increased amount of diversity, ranging from extreme tempo variations over distinct rhythm patterns to clean guitars—-and even Flamenco parts!

KRISIUN only used analog gear and instruments while recording this album to avoid the compressed sound that so many musicians produce today. This wise decision resulted in a more organic sound, with the songs on “The Great Execution” possessing both a warmth and a rawness that is so often lost through digital production. The low end is deeper, with drums that pound instead of bounce and guitar tones that sear rather than hiss.

“With our new record we managed to capture the sound and the vibe that we were always looking for,” adds vocalist/bassist Alex Camargo. Going back to Stage One Studio in Germany and working with Andy Classen again was the right choice. The album came out with a very distinctive and natural sound, shattering the boundaries of the style once more.

The cover artwork was created by Japanese artist Toshihiro Egawa, who previously designed artwork for acts like SUICIDE SILENCE, HEAVEN SHALL BURN, DEVOURMENT, DYING FETUS, among many others.

“The Great Execution” will be available as a limited edition digipak including a re-recorded version of the classic KRISIUN song “Black Force Domain” as a bonus track, plus as a180g gatefold vinyl and as a digital download.

Press opportunities for KRISIUN are available, so please contact nikki.law@centurymedia.com to schedule!

Italian death metal squad Hour Of Penance’s latest album, THE VILE CONCEPTION, is a piece of utter death metal from beginning to end. The four-piece has already started working on the follow-up. The band’s leader Guilio Moschini goes back in time recalling how Hour Of Penance started out, why the band had to go through some line-up changes and finally sheds some light on working on the fourth album.

ChaosFear hailing from Brazil delivers highly skilled and aggressive thrash metal to the bone. Even though the whole band is pretty new on the metal map, the whole trio has gained experience by playing in other local Brazilian bands. The demo debut already proved the trio’s skills to create asskicking and whipping thrash.

The Brazilians’ debut album ONE STEP BEHIND ANGER will be re-released with extra bonus material added. The band’s drummer Danilo de Freitas explains a little bit more about the upcoming album and some historical aspects of ChaosFear.

Moyses Kolesne – The guitarist of Brazilian Death Metal commandos Krisiun

Interview & live pictures by Arto Lehtinen & Luxi Lahtinen
Transcripted by Blake Wolfe (thanks a lot, buddy!)

The relentless Brazilian Death Metal trio, Krisiun, finally made it to Finland. Frankly, it was about the time. Unfortunately it needs to be said Krisiun’s name hasn’t been carved to the Finnish Death Metal heads’ that much yet (or so it seems to be), which was proved by a relatively lame attendance at both of the gigs in Finland. However, regardless of this somewhat low attendance to both of their gigs, the band’s guitarist Moyses Kolesne turned out to be a real humble person and extremely excited about having a chance to play in Finland for the first time in Krisiun´s history. So keeping this in our minds, the timing was pretty ideal for us to talk with him about the band, about all those things that have gotten them this far – and especially about Krisiun´s latest output ASSASSINATION which is another piece of evidence of these three Brazilian brothers´ skills to write catchy and ear-nailing Death Metal.

Now let´s give Moyses a chance to tell more about this murderous, all-devastating Brazilian war machine called Krisiun…
