BIOGRAPHY
Krushya formed in 2000 in Patras, Greece, with a single purpose: to channel resistance, anger and social awareness through a relentless fusion of death metal, grindcore and thrash.
Emerging from the local underground scene, the band quickly forged a distinctive identity—defined by high-energy tempos, crust-infused riffs, groove-driven drumming and an unmistakable vocal approach aimed at clarity as much as brutality.
In 2002, Krushya released their first self-produced demo, marking the beginning of an independent, uncompromising path.
Their second and first official album, “Ashta,” was recorded between September 2004 and April 2005 at DB Studio (Patras), once again fully self-financed and true to their DIY ethos.
The band continued its momentum with a 2007 live recording captured at Parartima, one of Patras’ most iconic underground venues.
In 2010, Krushya released “Collectivo,” a limited collector’s edition that documented their evolution and reinforced their reputation within the Greek extreme metal scene.
After a period of writing and recalibration, Krushya re-entered the studio and returned in March 2021 with the promo single “Curse of Death,” the first glimpse of their next chapter. Later that year,
the band released their full-length “.Dogma.” independently, followed by a physical CD edition through Narcoleptica Productions.
Featuring 5+2 tracks and several guest musicians, the record showcased the band’s matured songwriting and expanded sonic identity.
In 2023, Krushya returned to the studio to begin work on their next cycle.
The result was the single “Unholy Trinity,” released on September 10, 2024, serving as the first official precursor to the band’s upcoming full-length album, “Doominion.”
“Doominion” is currently in the final stages of preparation and will be released in the coming months —
marking the next major milestone in Krushya’s more than two-decade journey of extreme music, independence and unfiltered expression.
