Wise Blood Records and Pout Records present the self-titled debut album from Indianapolis sludge degenerates Kiritsis.

Freshly formed in 2024, Kiritsis blend doom and hardcore into a bruising and groove-laden uppercut of sound.

From the first roar to the final uppercut, this debut is a brawl of crushing riffs and defiant rage. These songs are sledgehammers of rebellion and bare-knuckled dissent.

While the band is new, the members have left an imprint on the Indianapolis hardcore and metal scenes with current/former bands Trenches, Sundown, Hatesong, and more. Entrenched in the proud tradition of Midwest and Rust Belt hardcore, Kiritsis have created one of the heaviest debuts of 2025.

Highly recommended for fans of High On Fire, Crowbar, Neurosis, Dopethrone, and Down.

The self-titled Kiritsis debut is out April 4th on CD + Cassette + Digital. Pre-order on Bandcamp: kiritsis.bandcamp.com/album/kiritsis
