He thrash metal will never die. Not while the world seedbed continues to give proposals like Crisix, who with only a decade of existence have revolutionized the genre by wiping out all the prize and competition that has been put before them.
Originally from Igualada in Barcelona, Spain; the band is born from the musicians mind Marc Torras (low) and Javi Carrión (battery), who would later recruit Marc I searched and Albert Requena to complete a lineup of 2 guitarists; which would end up being rounded by Juli Baz as a singer to finalize her classic lineup. Originally generated by the name of Crysys, due to legal problems the band had to change it to Crisix prior to the release of their first record material.
Crisix from birth he proved that he was for big things. They won the national metal contest Martohell Metal Rumble in Martorell, Catalonia the same year the band was founded, and a year later they broke the tabloids of the scene, first winning the W: O: A Metal Battle Spain; to then go to the grand final in Germany from which they would be victorious. This is worth a contract to record your first album titled “The Menace” in 2010, but a bumpy recording process where in the end the band had to manage the last details made the album come out until 2011. The album is well received for the speed and power of its songs and the powerful gutturals of Juli, and the specialized press immediately begins to predict their success by comparing them with their compatriots Angelus Stateless.
Con esta fama en 2013 lanzan “Rise… Then Rest” in 2013 and the album became a musical success in his country, reaching 63rd place in the Top 100 albums in Spain. “Bring’em to Pit” is the theme chosen as single and it immediately goes viral in Youtube. The musical style of this second production is a copy of the aggressive and impressive thrash of his first installment, and would further forge his status of band to follow. However, in that same year and arguing totally personal reasons, its founder Marc Torras he leaves the band being replaced by the very young bassist Dani Ramis.
“From Blue to Black” It is the band's third album. It is a dirty and piercing disc from start to finish where Crisix does the unthinkable: outdo himself and carry his thrash to insane extremes of power and violence. The song that gives the album its name is simply epic and a reflection of the maturity of the group, as is also demonstrated by composing a 7-minute song as it is “Fallen”, and leave well freed with a piece of a masterful elaboration.
In this 2018 Crisix regresa a la escena con “Against the Odds”, an album that you immediately associate with the sound of established like Slayer and Anthrax making it a delight for lovers of thrash of the old school. The album was put on everyone's lips not only for its great quality of composition, but also for the curiosities of having songs like “Prince of Saiyans” dedicated to the character Vegeta of Dragon Ball Z, “Xenomorph Blood” in reference to the movie saga Alien; or “The North Remembers” with a theme influenced by the series Game of Thrones. It is this album that brings them on tour for the first time to our country with an inevitable appointment next November 29th at Skull Cat of the Mexico City.
