NEWS: Krushor ask “War? What is it good for?”

Coming out swinging from Oulu, Finland with a razor sharp Groove Thrash Metal blend are Krushor. They’ve chosen a tale of War in “Shockwave” as the first single from their debut EP “Taste of Hatred” which is slated for a 9th January 2026 release via Inverse Records. No Adobe products were harmed in the making of the record and yes! Pre-orders are available over at bandcamp.

The band comments: “Shockwave is about war, its madness, and maybe, fittingly for the times, a bit about why wars are fought, who starts them, and who benefits from them. In war, there are no winners at least not for us poor folks. I don’t like to politicize things, but in these times, wars are too present, and you can always write a song about how horrifying they are.”

“The band found its current identity through shared musical tastes, playing together, and a shared hobby. We are a group of people who enjoy making and playing music that works for all of us. A big part of this is that composing, writing lyrics, and editing songs is open to everyone. All songs and compositions are created by the whole group, not based on one person’s vision or goal.”

“Our influences definitely come from older metal, but that doesn’t matter, because mixing genres actually adds a lot to our music; there’s no one right way to do things. Krushor’s goal is to make music that sounds good and at the same time talk about the difficult things that are part of life. For many people, music can be therapeutic, and if even one person feels that way about our music, we feel we have succeeded.”
