History
The band was formed in 2007 by Tore (lead guitar), Alex (guitar), and David (drums). They later recruited Alexa on bass and Deivis on drums. Their debut eponymous album (Here Comes The Kraken) was released in 2009, which was accompanied with a extensive tour in Mexico and Europe. They then followed this up with an EP entitled The Omen in 2010. Both of these releases shared a similar, very heavy death metal influenced sound.
In May 2010, they won at the Indie-O Music Award for "Metal Band of the Year".[1]
Musical style
The band's musical style is an extreme metal genre known as deathcore, mixing death metal and metalcore.[2][3][4] However, since the band's 2011 sophomore album Hate, Greed and Death, they have inducted nu metal influences into their music.[5][6][7]
