Krisiun
Ageless Venomous (Nuclear Blast)
by Paul Lee
If any band deserves to wear the mantle that the once mighty Sepultura left, it’s Brazilian trio Krisiun. These demons continue to hone the distinctive violence of their last album, Conquerors of Armageddon, into a precision killing machine. Krisiun don’t bend my brain the way bands like Immolation and Nile (the new kings of avant-garde death metal) do, but for all Krisiun’s inexorable assault, they have continued to define their sound on this, their fifth collection of pure virulence.
