“If you want an album that is likely to show the future of Extreme Metal, look no further than this one. Taking in elements of what made bands like Death and Carcass so great but having a much updated formula in terms of cleaner production and more expanse into the world of Progressive Music, little more can be said for this band. If Bloodstock had a new and upcoming band on the main stage in several years it would have to be Krepitus and this is paramount to their talent overall.” – Musicology UK
“Today is one of those rare honors that I have the privilege to share an up-and-coming band with the world that I know will blow every metal fan away and change the metal landscape. Krepitus from Calgary, Canada is releasing their debut LP this November and it is everything you expect a great metal band to be. The Eyes of the Soulless is a dirty meat-grinder of an album that satisfies every moment from beginning to end.” – Hard Attack Mag
“These eight songs are all excellent, with each having a unique identity. Songs morph from riff-based monsters to soaring 80s solos and melodic interplay. It’s impossible not to break out the invisible oranges when hearing the album, as Krepitus really nail the spirit of metal, old and new, with this excellent album… one of the best extreme metal debuts I’ve heard in a while.” – New Noise Mag
“They take a somewhat different slant on Death/Thrash Metal, cleverly mixing subtle technical riffs and aggressive rasping vocals then blending traditional elements with a modern slant along with tight melodies and heavy rhythms and the result is both crushing and engaging.” – Metal Talk
“A death/thrash metal act from Calgary, Canada, Krepitusshreds ‘The Eyes of the Soulless‘ powerfully with fierce devotion and angry attitude.” – Kultur 666
“A ferocious blend of modern thrash and old-school death metal, Krepitus are as distinctly melodic as they are uniformly savage, offering a modern metal approach to time honoured structures.” – Worship Metal
“a crushing album…I love the raw sound and just how rough it all sounds, it’s like they have taken Krepitus to a boiler room, not fed them for a month and told the band to get as angry as fucking possible…I see big things for the band and would love to see them live.” – RocknReel Reviews
“Krepitus navigate the darkness of the human soul. Tying together tradition and innovation, Krepitus’s tight melodies and heavy rhythms provide a rousing respite from modern contrivance. Victors of the Round One of Wacken Battle Calgary, the exhilaration they bring to the stage is impressively genuine, unleashing their inner demons without a whiff of hesitation or self-doubt.” – Christine Leonard, Beatroute Magazine
“So for 45 plus minutes I was in tune with what Krepitus has going on and really intrigued with them. Best part is I can’t accurately classify them ha! They are basically death metal, droning at times and very aggressive at others! Lots of thrash stuff going on throughout and some seriously tricky riffs. Every track is very memorable and each has its own identity which seems fairly rare anymore!” – Merchants of Air
“Krepitus is another killer hard and heavy band from Canada. The metal scene in Canada is just bursting at the seams now days. Wow these guys have hit a nerve with their awesome style of death/thrash metal. They have a great combination on old school thrash like Sodom and technical death metal like Arch Enemy and Morbid Angel.” – The Dirty Room

Bone-crushing Calgary four-piece KREPITUS are challenging the relationship between death and thrash metal with their trademark downtrodden technical riffs and fierce agressive vocals. They have been constantly playing with opposing elements and creating a stable compound of death-fused thrash since their beginnings in 2013.
The group is comprised of Teran Wyer performing double duty on guitar and vocals; a tortured soul bound to his music. Matt Van Wezel is the second sniper, hitting each guitar note with precision and complementing the already harmonious riffs. Curtis Beardy pulls the tone down to the depths of hell with his steady hand and low register bass riffs. Finally, Harley “Rage” D’orazio kicks everything into overdrive possessed by grinding rhythms and accenting every solo on his drum kit.
Each member stands like a pillar; strong and sure in their own sound, but all standing to support the structure that is Krepitus. They have since performed with acts like Expain, Depths of Hatred, and Aegaeon and have competed in the Wacken Metal Battle Canada while writing their debut album. They have since completed said album and are planning to release it Friday, November 25, 2016. Pre-orders can be made via their bandcamp at: https://krepitus.bandcamp.com/album/eyes-of-the-soulless
