NEWS: Krateros get ready to Thrash!

Helsinki Finland Progressive Thrash act Krateros have inked a deal in quill and ink before sealing it with wax so Inverse Records can distribute their debut EP “Lost in Translation” on 30th January 2026. Citing influences in Annihilator, Trivium and Exodus the three piece formed in 2023 and have shared first single “Linguicide” so you can put it on your work Christmas party playlist.

The band comments:” “Linguicide” is the first taste of our upcoming EP “Lost in Translation.” With its catchy groove and memorable guitar melody, it is arguably the most “commercial” track from the EP, yet it contains a great blend of all the elements that make our music what it is. Musically, the song is the oldest one on the EP, with the first demo going as far back as February 2020. Lyrically, the song went through two or three rewrites before finding its final form. Some of the discarded ideas have since been used in songs meant for future releases. As a product of our times, “Linguicide” deals with cancel culture and the death of independent thought, whether through self-censorship or outside pressure.”
