MetalKult is proud to present an exclusive preview of Brazilian death metal act Krisiun’s latest full-length, Southern Storm, which will be released by Century Media on August 5.

For more than 15 years, the three-piece—Alex Camargo (vocals/bass), Moyses Kolesne (guitar) and Max Kolesne (drums)—has been creating pure, unrelenting extreme metal. With their seventh studio album, Southern Storm, Krisiun prove once again that they are as dark and violent as ever.

For Southern Storm, Krisiun tapped producer Andy Classen, who has previously worked with the band on 1999’s Conquerors Of Armageddon and 2006’s AssassiNation. Recording commenced at Stage One Studio in Germany and the result was nothing less than organic, brutal metal, as evidenced by opener, “Slaying Steel,” “Combustion Infernal” or the band’s cover of Sepultura’s “Refuse/Resist.”

You’ll have to wait a week to snag your own copy, but in the meantime, enjoy the following streaming preview! (more…)
