KROSIS IS all about creating new trends, fresh ideas, and entirely unique SUBgenres.
For some, living the dream is being in front of thousands, with lights and cameras on go. For us, it’s pouring our mind and soul into every creation — each step, each note, each beat — so our fans can be a part of the experience with us.
Together, we’ve toured major cities around the US and released 5 commercial projects to date with over +30K active monthly listeners.
COMMERCIAL ALBUM RELEASES
E.V.I.L. [Every Virtue Is Lost] (2022)
8-track high concept album following the hero character of A Memoir of Free Will in an alternate reality. With this release, we wanted to expand on the premise and offer a different listening experience with a more cohesive and tonal image spanning the length of the project. While lyrically the concept is formatted to be the antithesis of A Memoir Of Free Will, the music further develops character’s world with environmental soundscapes and emphasis on an inner monologue. The music and story are directly intertwined for our most enticing listen to date.
Genre: Deathmetal, Progressive, Tech Death
A MEMOIR OF FREE WILL (2020)
A Memoir Of Free Will is our first approach at a true concept album. The story is dense and allows the reader to take their own interpretations from the lyrics. The music is directly inspired by the lyrics with then intent to capture the emotions and energy the hero character of A Memoir of Free Will experiences. Musical themes include metal, jazz, ambient soundscapes, and electronic additions.
Genre: Tech Death, Progressive Metal, Ambient
MOUNT OF SACRIFICE (2020)
Although the release date suggest otherwise, Mount of Sacrifice is the debut EP of Krosis originally released in 2015. Our first project didn’t have much of shape yet, but the potential behind the music was definitely apparent. In this redux all instruments were rerecorded and all vocals were performed by Mac Smith. Musical themes include metal, jazz, ambient soundscapes, etc.
Genre: Deathcore
SOLEM VATUM REDUX (2020)
This rerelease delivers the same songs from Solem Vatem in a much more polished fashion. Each instrument was rerecorded and all vocals were performed by Mac Smith. Musical themes include metal, jazz, ambient soundscapes, and progressive elements.
Genre: Progressive Metal, Deathcore
SOLEM VATUM (2018)
Our debut album “Solem Vatem” was an experiment to determine what we were capable of. The entire project is filled with numerous thematic references, and despite feeling cohesive, the tracks follow their own unique path. The title track briefly describes the tone of the project while setting up for an intense shift leading forward into the next few releases. Musical themes include metal, jazz, ambient soundscapes, and progressive elements.
Genre: Progressive Metal, Deathcore
