Khrognar was formed in 2019 in Rzeszów by Marcin Neszew (lead vocals and guitar) and Oskar Głowiński (rhythm guitar). These two members have been a part of the band to this day. Kacper Bąk is responsible for the drums. The band’s session members include: experienced bassist Dawid Warchoł and incredibly talented guitarist Bartek Bazan.
The band plays broadly understood core music, but due to the specificity of the songs it describes as melodic deathcore. The greatest influence on shaping the band’s genre is Marcin Neszew and his passion for bands such as: Lorna Shore, Parkway Drive, Bleed From Within, Whitechapel and Suicide Silence. The band has released a 4-track EP and two singles recorded and mixed at Lunar Sound Studio in Rzeszów (Dargor, Blind God). In 2023, the group took part in the national Road To Mystic competition and out of 190 entries played in the final, gaining recognition from the audience and jury, ultimately performing at Mystic Festival 2023. In the newest song, the band shows their compositional possibilities and the change in sound after using 7-string guitars.
On July 18, 2025, the new song of the band entitled “Forbidden Sky” premiered, which is their sound revolution. The music was recorded at the Lunar Sound Studio, while the American producer Aaron Pace (Ov sulfur, Left to Suffer, Lorna Shore) is responsible for the mix and mastering. The cover photo was taken in the abandoned Zofiówka Institution for Nervous and Mentally Ill Jews.
Band comments their new single: “Blackcore or Melodic Deathcore – it doesn’t matter to Khrognar. In their latest single Forbidden Sky we challenge the boundaries of metal. This song is a descent, not into hell, but into the depths of ourselves. Khrognar exist in the liminal space between genres, drawing in the brutal violence of deathcore, the nihilistic mood of black metal and heavy breakdowns, all wrapped in catchy riffs. The orchestral layer adds a subtle sense of elevation, creating a space just before the breakdown and the cursed vocals that break through with inexorable force. The result is more than just a single – it is a monument, built from the human suffering that usually remains buried deep, stewed in silence. Khrognar invites you on a unique journey of unspoken, unnameable feelings. It is a collection of experiences and the fruit of the crew’s hard work in striving for the best possible form“.
