NEWS: Rise Of Kronos poison the well!

Reborn from the ashes of Surface, German Death Metal quartet Rise Of Kronos have unveiled their first new material since their critically acclaimed album “Imperium” arrived in 2024. Mastered by Joel Wanasek (Machine Head, Ice Nine Kills, Miss May I) the track is titled “Poison Of The Gods” and is conjoined to a music video that was filmed in the legendary village of Wacken, home of the world-famous Wacken Open Air festival. As if that wasn’t enough, the track also marks the first input from new guitarist Hendrik “Henne” Schmidt as the band begin a run of shows with the legendary Vader!

Vocalist Tom Robinson comments: ”Poison Of The Gods is a statement for the future as a 4-piece band. It showcases the brutality and energy that Henne [Hendrik Schmidt], as the new guitarist, brings to the group, but also the creativity that has been unleashed through the new line-up. This song marks the beginning of a journey that will continue to gain momentum!”
