In 2021, RISE OF KRONOS emerged as a powerful new force in the metal scene, rising from the ashes of the band Surface. After 11 relentless years of touring, recording three albums, and pouring their hearts and souls into their music, the members of Surface found themselves at a crossroads. They felt a burning desire to evolve, to push their artistry and professional journey to the next level.
Recognizing that their old identity no longer fully captured the intensity and direction of their music, they made the bold decision to reinvent themselves. However, they wanted to honor the legacy they had built and maintain the strong connection with their loyal fanbase, affectionately known as the Titans. The name RISE OF KRONOS was chosen, inspired by their 2015 album of the same name, symbolizing both a tribute to their past and a bold declaration of their future.
RISE OF KRONOS represents a fusion of dark, modern, and unyielding death metal, blending elements of progressive metal, Swedish death metal, and hardcore. Their sound is a testament to their growth as musicians and their commitment to creating music that is both innovative and true to their roots.
With a new image and a fresh conceptual approach grounded in Greek mythology, RISE OF KRONOS brings an electrifying energy to the stage. Their live performances are a dynamic and immersive experience, as they lead their audience on a journey to Olympus, invoking the power and might of the ancient gods.
