The band has been an influence on many acts over their extensive career and continue to push the envelope in the genre with their aggressive form of extreme metal madness.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Adds the band, &#8220;KRONOS is beyond stoked and proud to join Unique Leader Records&#8230; the perfect fit for the Titan&#8217;s awakening! Unique Leader Records is one of the best extreme metal labels and has many talented bands from the brutal\/technical death metal scene on its roster. We&#8217;re absolutely pleased to be part of the UL family and eager to release our forthcoming new album very soon. Expect some real fury&#8230;.the Titan is back!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>A name derived from the Greek god of time, Cronos, father of Zeus, KRONOS was forged over fifteen years ago and quickly established a name for themselves based solely on their musical unity of harmony and violence. Featuring a continuous textual reference to the gods of ancient civilizations, KRONOS punctures ears with a heightened level of dynamics accomplished by only by a select number of bands. It all began in a small town in the Northeastern province of Alsace-Lorraine. Following various lineup shifts and musical experimentation, the pandemonium squad recorded their first demo in 2000. One year later, KRONOS would unleash their Titan&#8217;s Awakening debut. Produced entirely by the band, the lethal creation lead to a union with French imprint Warpath Records (formerly known as Shockwave). By the end of 2001, Titan&#8217;s Awakening was expelled once again into the world, this time with a brand new cover designed by Deather (Gurkkhas, Vital Remains, Angel Corpse) as well as a visually disquieting booklet.<\/p>\n<p>KRONOS later joined forces with Spanish label Xtreem Music run by Avulsed&#8217;s Dave Rotten, for the unleashing of their next two full-lengths. Second offering, Colossal Titan Strife was discharged in 2004 to the applause of underground critics in the proverbial know. Metal Crypt commended the band&#8217;s, &#8220;diversified guitar work&#8230; intricate drum patterns&#8230; wicked guitar solos and.. good number of catchy yet non-compromising hooks,&#8221; further insisting, &#8220;This French outfit is definitely worth checking out,&#8221; while Sputnik Music championed, &#8220;an impressive album that shows off the capabilities of death metal done right. KRONOS managed to pack a metric ton of creativity into each song and you will barely hear the same riff twice.&#8221; Added Last Rites simply, &#8220;worth your time if you&#8230; need some solid, well-produced death metal.&#8221;<br \/>\n<br \/>\nThird offspring, The Hellenic Terror, emerged in April 2007 and served as an attestation of the band&#8217;s enormous capacity for skilled execution and originality. Said Metal Crypt in a near perfect review of the release, &#8220;The Hellenic Terror contains more melodic sections than Colossal Titan Strife, but still possesses almost as much brutality&#8230;. KRONOS is one of the few death metal bands that manage to be melodic, brutal and still remain catchy as hell in their riffs and solos. This is definitely a must-have for fans of death metal.&#8221; Now that this Gallic Titan has blossomed into a powerful entity, they&#8217;re ready to vanquish and destroy the world with musical bloodlust and a new album to be released via Unique Leader Records this Summer. Further details to be unveiled in the coming weeks.<br \/>\n <br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pages\/KRONOS\/34830211765?fref=ts\">http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pages\/KRONOS\/34830211765?fref=ts<\/a><br \/>\n<br \/> <br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.uniqueleader.com\">http:\/\/www.uniqueleader.com<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Extreme metal powerhouse, Unique Leader Records, is very pleased to announce the addition of French&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","_mo_disable_npp":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-43309","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43309","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=43309"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43309\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=43309"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=43309"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=43309"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
