Krisiun – Mortem Solis
Century Media Records
7,0/10,0
Brief:
Brazil’s kings of death metal Armageddon Krisiun launch their new album, Mortem Solis, via Century Media Records. For the group’s 12th album, the trio – brothers Alex Camargo (bass/vocals), Max Kolesne (drums) and Moyses Kolesne (guitars) – was determined to keep Krisiun’s long-standing underground fearlessness intact. As metaldom eyes commercial ventures, Mortem Solis is a direct counter, a white-hot blade into the chest of a pre-fab musical culture. This is tried and true fiercely aggressive yet deceptively hard-working death metal.
Krisiun’s infernal path started in Ijuí, Brazil, in 1990. The threesome were inspired by a diverse array of extreme metal, including Slayer, Venom, Destruction, Motörhead, Morbid Angel and famed countrymen Sepultura. The group toiled for years before signing a deal with São Paulo-based Dynamo Records and arriving at their now-classic debut album, Black Force Domain, in 1995. Word spread quickly. Krisiun’s unbridled ruthlessness was absolutely riveting. They inked a deal with GUN Records in 1997 to continue the onslaught in Europe, which commenced officially with Krisiun’s first tour outside of Brazil on the Black Force Domain Tour. Audiences were stunned by the trio’s full-throated, bloody-minded death metal. Since then, the legacy of brutality has been hoisted on battle flags like Apocalyptic Revelation (1998), their worldwide Century Media debut Conquerors of Armageddon (2000), Works of Carnage (2003), Southern Storm (2008), and Scourge of the Enthroned (2018). Mortem Solis continues the tradition of uncompromising musical insanity.
