Here Comes the Kraken

Here Comes the Kraken delivers a sonic assault that feels like a physical confrontation. Their sound is rooted in the peak era of technical deathcore, characterized by blistering drum speeds, complex guitar work, and a vocal range that spans from deep guttural growls to piercing screams. It is music designed for high-intensity environments where the goal is total catharsis through volume and speed.

What truly sets them apart is their fearless embrace of nu-metal aesthetics. While many of their peers stuck to a rigid death metal template, this band integrated rhythmic bouncing, turntable scratching, and rap-influenced cadences into their extreme metal framework. This creates a unique 'groove-heavy' brutality that feels more urban and modern than the typical forest-dwelling death metal act.

Start with their self-titled debut for a masterclass in pure Mexican deathcore intensity. If you are feeling adventurous, move to 'Hate, Greed & Death' to hear how they provocatively blended those heavy foundations with the swagger and bounce of early 2000s nu-metal.
