KRAMPUS Stream New Song “UNSPOKEN”

Team ALL ABOUT THE MUSIC has issued the following:

KRAMPUS continue to make waves leading up to the release of their debut album Survival of the Fittest with their latest stream of the song “Unspoken”.  Singer Filippo comments:

  “‘Unspoken’ is about frustration. Frustration of being a young guy who lives in this global crisis period, with the will to do something, to be realized and to prove his worth, and that is instead entangled in a world that negates him this chance.
There’s no work, global economy is falling, corruption and injustice are everywhere, there’s not enough space for those who would just like to act and build. It’s not fair that fathers feels like losers even if they work hard because the cannot look after those whom they care.”

Like rootsbreaking concrete, we shake minds dulled by the weakness of present society. Wefight fearlessly for our beliefs, aiming to give back at least some of what hasbeen taken from mother nature. We kindle the embers hidden inside each andevery one of you, choked by the lies of nations: Embers of Honour, Pride, Traditions, and Freedom.”

KRAMPUS Release New Album Cover, Title, And Tracks

Team ALL ABOUT THE MUSIC has issued the following:

KRAMPUS – FACING THE FUTURE RATHER THAN THE PAST, RE-KINDLING EMBERS OF HONOUR, PRIDE, TRADITIONS AND FREEDOM.

The Udine, Italy based Modern Folk Metal band KRAMPUS can safely be regarded as the most promising and fast-rising star in their genre, all the while further expanding the boundaries of Folk Metal as we know it. With no less than 8 band members and an extensive use of traditional folk instruments, they invite to draw comparisons to the very elite of bands that devote themselves to bringing together old and new. But unlike the majority of the latter, KRAMPUS face the future rather than the past – both musically and lyrically.

After no more than a few shows since their formation in 2010, KRAMPUS already drew crowds nearing the 1’000-mark in their hometown, and after having won the renowned Rock The Nation award 2011, they have found themselves signed to the record label NoiseArt and represented by one of Metal’s leading booking agencies, Rock The Nation. Their first full-length effort, Survival Of The Fittest, has been produced by KRAMPUS’s charismatic frontman Filippo Gianotti himself at Udine’s legendary Blackmirror Studios and is set for release on August 24, 2012. Shortly after the release, KRAMPUS will embark on their first extended European tour, joining Wintersun and Korpiklaani on 2012’s edition of the hugely successful Heidenfest tour.

„Krampus, the winter demon, has survived the repression of the modern gods.

We fight fearlessly for our beliefs, aiming to give back at least some of what has been taken from mother nature.
