RISE OF KRONOS came to life in 2021 as a deliberate rebirth from the ashes of SURFACE. After more than a decade of touring and releasing records, the band reached a point where “more of the same” stopped being an option. The name is a tribute to their 2015 album, but also a statement of intent: keep the legacy, sharpen the focus, and push harder.
Their new album “Slaves Of Time” lands on April 17, 2026. It’s modern death metal with a brutal edge, drawing from Swedish aggression, progressive precision, and hardcore intensity. Conceptually, the band continue to lean into Greek mythology and existential themes, here turning their attention to time, mortality, and the feeling of being trapped by forces you can’t negotiate with, external or internal.
Pre-orders are live via the band’s official store and Bandcamp, including limited editions and bundles.
