I’ve been hibernating since March 2010 and finally decisions were made. I supposed that it should be ‘dissolve’, but well… ‘On Hold’ suits better. Thanks Trepas! To all the others: I’m relocating somewhere in this planet, ah ah, and settling in a new cold place might took a while to adjust - that’ll be this year or surely, next year. No one knows if I can still continue doing this shit in there so that’s it. It ain’t over, but I’ll be glad if it’s going to be, ah ah ah…

“Filipiny nie rób takiej kurwa miny” ?piewali kiedy? w WWO. Poza tym, ?e Bruno Zamora jest w?a?nie z Filipin ma si? ten tekst do Kratornas oczywi?cie jak pizda do piekarnika. Ale nie o tym tutaj. Bruno za?o?y? Kratornas jako jednoosobowy projekt ju? 15 lat temu i od tego czasu sukcesywnie wypycha na podziemn? scen? przeró?ne materia?y. “The Corroding Age of Wounds” jest jego drugim pe?nym albumem, który zosta? wydany przez Kneel Before the Master’s Throne Records. Mamy tutaj do czynienia z bardzo zbrutalizowanym, przepe?nionym blastami i jadowitymi riffami black metalem.

Kratornas é una one man band proveniente dalle Filippine, dietro la quale si nasconde il mastermind Bruno Zamora che si occupa di tutti gli strumenti e delle vocals. Il progetto in questione giunge con questo “The Corroding Age Of Wounds” alla seconda fatica sulla lunga distanza, dopo una serie interminabile di demo, split ed ep dal 1995 ad oggi. Siamo di fronte al classico gruppo fieramente underground, che vive in questa dimensione e ne rispetta alla lettera i dogmi e le convenzioni, a partire dalla produzione poco più che casalinga, ronzante e pastosa, meravigliosamente marcia, curata ai famigerati Necromorbus Studios svedesi.

Si tratta di una produzione ultra-underground che mi è stata segnalata dall’artista stesso. Dubito fortemente che troverete sul mercato europeo questo CD, ma è giusto dare spazio a tutti. Kratornas è una one man band filippina. Sì, avete letto bene, filippina. Una prima volta per questa ‘zine, nonostante siano veramente tante le recensioni.

Earlier this year Kratornas returned with their second full length ‘The Corroding Age Of Wounds,’ to assault your ears once more with their destructive aggressive music. If you take some blackened death metal and carefully place in some trashy riffs you will get Kratornas. You get a nonstop barrage of balls to the wall dark aggressive black metal in the vein of impiety.

Die Philippinen gelten ja nicht gerade als Hochburg für schwarzmetallische Tonkunst. Dieser Tatsache ungeachtet frönt Bruno Zamora bereits seit 15 Jahren seiner Leidenschaft und veröffentlichte im vergangenen Jahr mit “The Corroding Age of Wounds” das zweite Album seines unbeirrten Ein-Mann-Projektes. Das krachige Gebolze erinnert teilweise an alte Schandtaten von Marduk, allerdings noch ein Stück höher auf der Temposkala. Die 8 Songs gleichen einem infernalischen Flächenbrand, an einigen Stellen züngeln die Flammen allerdings ein wenig kraftlos, vor allem dann, wenn das sägende Gitarrengeschredder vom ab und an etwas wirr programmierten Schlagzeuggeschwader zugedröhnt wird, wie im eigentlich ansonsten sehr geilen “Chaosblade”.

Kratornas mixes two of metal’s most extreme subgenres, Black & Grindcore, into one. Does that remind us of a certain band? Of course it does. That being said, Kratornas does it a little bit different than the notorious Anaal Nathrakh. Where Anaal Nathrakh sounded pitch-black in their early days and psychotic in their later days, Kratornas are ‘just extreme’.
