Kreon

About Me

Settled in Hannover (Lower Saxony, Germany), the Kreonauts flocked together in autumn 2003.
The name KREON refers to Sophokles' Antigone. King Kreon was a man of might who was personally fucked up by his own system of ruling Thebes. A very strange tragedy in blood.
Our goal is to create exactly that kind of brutal but narrative Death Metal we love to listen to as fans. Our ideals are (amongst others) Morbid Angel, Immolation, Autopsy, Luciferion und some of the good old Stockholm Death fathers. Besides we're always longing for a unique, personal sound to occupy and hold our very own alcove in Death Metal. After releasing our first demo cd (Demo Spring 05) and recovering from kinda tsunami of enthused reviews we are glad to know we kicked in the right door!
Many critics proofed the Kreonauts codec:
No song shall sound like the other!
They found it to be a simple truth. For the future this means we'll keep on avoiding redundancy and working hard to improve our skills.
This year we released our first longplayer, namely IMPACT WINTER - a much more technical as well as epical grotesque child of sickness - via OBSCURE DOMAIN. Try it, it's brutal, fresh and strange.
These days we are working hard on our next album named "When Tentacles Bloom" which will be recorded in April 2010. Covering a playtime of about 60 min it will bring to you a blend of songs dealing with classic horror themes and hommages to gods like Lovecraft and Romero, traditionally mixed with good old psycho stuff from the lees of our hearts.
Important for band contact:
The mailing adress printed on our demo and mentioned in reviews or interviews has changed! If you want to contact Kreon by writing a letter, please use the following mailing adress:
Mark Stoppe
Geschwister-Scholl-Weg 38
46325 Borken
In case you have used the old mailing adress it will take a little time to get an answer! So please be patient if you have done so.
For all of you who are interested in the demo 05: Feel free to order it via e-mail ([email protected])!

Sounds Like: Though critics concede us to run a unique sound, there are some names frequently mentioned by many of em, these are:

Morbid Angel, Vader, Autopsy, Entombed ...

Some critics came out to be surprised listening to a German band, mentioning Tampa, Florida would be a better place for the Kreonists Church.Not redundant to say that we are proud as hell of reminding listeners on those great godfathers of US Death Metal we hail and on the glorious Scandinavian Death days before Göteborg hype ... this is a great honor to us and we will work hard to make these early credits become legitimate one day.

This antichurch is still in progress hehehe ...
