“Recommended for fans of Cathedral, Saturnus, Amenra, Thou, Solitude Aeturnus, Burial Clouds and similar ambient death/doom/post-metal acts.” — Metal-Revolution.com

“Tip Des Monats! Bereit für den Abstieg?” — Rock Hard Germany

“38 Minuten, wunderbare Schwermut.” — Deaf Forever

Evolving from death metal roots, Kraton sets out to create a raw and vibrant sound by combining aspects of post and doom metal injected with a dash of ferocity sourced from other extreme metal genres. Lyrical themes are drawn from the bleak corners of the human condition dominated by the arduousness of our shared mortal coil.
