Napalm Records recording artists Krisiun are a Brazilian black death thrash metal band, founded by brothers Alex Camargo (bass, vocals) (Born March 11, 1972), Moyses Kolesne (guitars) (Born August 11, 1973) and Max Kolesne (drums) (Born June 12, 1974). Since its formation in 1990, the group recorded three demos, Curse of the Evil One in 1990, Mortal Toxic in 1991, and The Plague in 1992, and self-released an extended play (EP) titled Unmerciful Order in 1993. After signing with Dynamo Records (a Brazilian label), Krisiun released the debut full-length Black Force Domain in 1995, followed by Apocalyptic Revelation, in 1998. 1999 they signed with Century Media Records releasing their next ten studio albums. 2025 Krisiun signed with Napalm Records, home to Cradle of Filth, Fleshgod Apocalypse, Samael, German big four Teutonic thrash metal titans Destruction, fellow Brazilian death metal band Crypta.
Krisiun was formed in 1990, by three brothers, vocalist/bassist Alex Camargo, guitarist Moyses Kolesne and drummer Max Kolesne. Camargo originally billed himself as Alex Kolesne, but since 1995 he has used his mother's maiden name as his stage name. They have toured extensively through North America, South America and Europe (recording their first official DVD while in Poland).
Krisiun is heavily influenced by early albums of Sodom (in the sign of evil & obsessed by cruelty), Kreator (pleasure to kill), Hellhammer (early celtic frost), Destruction, Morbid Angel (abominations of desolation). Their violent lyrics and very fast musical tempo make them one of the most eminent "extreme death metal" bands in the world.
They released three demos before moving to São Paulo in 1995. People there had already started to notice the budding talent of the band. Shortly after the move, their second guitarist Altemir Souza left the band and returned to Porto Alegre (where he died in a motorbike accident in 2002).
The Unmerciful Order EP (their only "major" recording featuring a second guitarist, namely Mauricio Nogueira of Torture Squad) established the band as a cult act, and that status was further confirmed by the release of their debut album Black Force Domain (now as a trio) in 1995. The following albums continued to improve their brutal and uncompromising approach to death metal.
In February–March 2007, the band toured North America with Unleashed, Belphegor and Hatesphere. The band spent May and June 2007 on the road through Europe alongside Immolation and Grave. Early September 2007 saw them hitting the road again touring Northern Europe. And the last two weeks of September were spent in Russia on the Flaming Arts Festival tour. October 2007 saw Krisiun touring Poland and the Balkans extensively with Vader, Incantation and Rotting Christ.
In April–May 2008, the band recorded their latest in Stage One Studios in the city of Borgentreich, Germany. It was produced by Andy Classen who had worked with the Brazilians on the album Conquerors of Armageddon and AssassiNation.
The new album was given the name Southern Storm and the launch in Europe was 21 July 2008 via Century Media Records. The disc brought 12 new tracks and a version of "Refuse/Resist", the Sepultura classic from the Chaos A.D. album.
In 2009 they toured Europe with Nile and in 2010 they toured the U.S. with Nile and Immolation.
In September–October 2015, they were part of The Devastation on the Nation tour in North America. They co-headlined the tour Origin. With Aeon, Alterbeast, Soreption and Ingested as support.
2025 Krisiun celebrates the 25th anniversary of their third album Conquerors Of Armageddon with this North American Tour supported by Abysmal Dawn, Pyrexia, and Gorgatron.
