KRAMPUS: Unveil cover artwork and tracklist of their upcoming album!

Italian folk black metal warriors KRAMPUS have unleashed the art work and tracklisting of the bands anticipated new release entitled "Survivial Of The Fittest" due to be unleashed  8/24/2012 on NOISEART RECORDS.

FROM KRAMPUS: 

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.

Nach nur ein paar wenigen Shows seit ihrer Gründung 2010 zieht die Band schon gut 1.000 Leute zu Shows in ihrer Heimatstadt und nach dem Gewinn des berühmten Rock The Nation Awards 2011, unterschrieben sie einen Vertrag bei NoiseArt Records sowie einer der führenden Booking Agenturen, Rock The Nation. Ihr erstes Album „Survival Of The Fittest“ wurde vom charismatischen Frontmann Filippo Gianotti selbst in Udine´s legendärem Blackmirror Studio produziert und wird am 24. August 2012 erscheinen. Kurz darauf werden Krampus ihre erste ausgedehnte Europa-Tour spielen, zusammen mit Wintersun, Korpiklaani u.a. auf der sehr erfolgreichen Heidenfest Tour.

“Krampus, the winter demon, has survived the repression of the modern gods. Born from shame for the mankind decay, under the cold breeze in the shades of the alps, we join him in his dealing out of the fallible human’s just deserts. Like roots breaking concrete, we shake minds dulled by the weakness of present society. We fight fearlessly for our beliefs, aiming to give back at least some of what has been taken from mother nature. We kindle the embers hidden inside each and every one of you, choked by the lies of nations: Embers of Honour, Pride, Traditions, and Freedom.”KRAMPUS
