The death-threat is back with a new studio album at last! The Brazilian hyper-speed brothers who comprise KRISIUN have earned a legendary worldwide reputation, and been lauded with the highest praise and respect ever since their beginnings in 1990 for being one of the most savage and devoted acts within their merciless style of Metal. The three-piece have also continuously managed to step up the level of brutality, technical wit, as well as catchiness in their writing from year to year, all displayed with a conviction and precision second to none.

Having toured all over North- and South-America, Europe and Japan with genre-leading acts like Kreator, Soilwork, Cradle Of Filth, Napalm Death, Satyricon, Immortal, Dimmu Borgir, Morbid Angel, Cannibal Corpse, Nile, Nevermore, Cryptopsy or Deicide, KRISIUN have built a faithful legion of worldwide followers around their trademark sound, regardless of current musical trends.

After completing the touring for their latest studio longplayer, “Works Of Carnage” (2003), KRISIUN decided to use some newly composed songs as well as material from their classic “Unmerciful Order” debut mini-album as a combined treat entitled “Bloodshed.” Launched on Century Media in 2004, the release clearly demonstrates the impressive evolution the band has gone through from their raw initial shape into the accurate killing machine they are today. After some more global live-attacks in promotion for this special release, KRISIUN spent some time collecting footage for their first ever DVD release, “Live Armageddon,” due for release early 2006 via Metal Mind in Europe and Century Media in North America.

Utilizing the opportunity of a European festival trip in Summer of 2005, KRISIUN decided to enter Stage One Studios in Germany with producer Andy Classen (who had already worked with the band on “Conquerors Of Armageddon” in 1999) to nail down their new studio album, viciously titled “AssassiNation”. This brand-new 12-track offering not only comes with a crystal-clear, brutalizing production, but also contains the best elements the band has become famous for: Straight forward speed assaults, addictive mid-paced groove, strong drive in skilful catchiness and ultimately a flawless level of astonishing musicianship throughout all songs on the album. Stand out tracks like the opening opus “Bloodcraft,” the efficient neck-breaker “Natural Genocide”, the relentless “Vicious Wrath” and the annihilating “United In Deception” are spiced up by atmospheric instrumental pieces (“Doomed”, “Summon”) and topped off with a rendition of Motörhead’s “Sweet Revenge,” demonstrating KRISIUN’s admiration for old-school Metal sounds (which influenced the band to start out as musicians in the first place). Get ready for the massacre, as KRISIUN have returned to reclaim the Death Metal throne!
