International slamming machine Kraanium arrives in Josefov as an uncompromising replacement for Devourment. If you were looking forward to a solid dose of Texas slam, Kraanium are the best possible candidates to fill the void and turn the moshpit into an absolute warzone. Founded in 2001 by twin brothers Martin and Mats Funderud, this formation belongs to the pioneers of European slam death metal and maintains a status as one of the genre's most influential acts.
Kraanium are defined by utterly primitive, monolithic breakdowns, extreme guitar down-tunings, and a vocal delivery that oscillates between guttural squeals and deep pig grunts. Their discography, featuring milestones like Post Mortal Coital Fixation or Chronicles of Perversion, represents the essence of the genre: no progressive solos, no unnecessary detours, just pure, mechanical destruction. Kraanium have weathered tragic losses and lineup changes, yet their dedication to absolute musical brutality remains unshaken. Live, this five-piece operates like a demolition crew, serving heavy-ass riffs one after another with surgical precision.
