About

Krux is a Swedish doom metal band formed by Leif Edling after Candlemass fell apart for the second time preceding their reunion tour.

The band's formation was announced in March 2002, with the involvement of Entombed members Peter Stjärnvind (drums) and Jörgen Sandström (guitar), Arch Enemy and Spiritual Beggars guitarist Michael Amott and former Red Fun vocalist Tomas Person. With rough demos being recorded at Mikael Åkerfeldt home studio. It was later announced the Amott and Person would only be appearing as guests.

Former Yngwie Malmsteen vocalist Mats Levén was announced as a member of the project in June 2002, alongside the inclusion of lead guitarists Nico Elgstrand and Fredrik Åkesson. A live gig at Kägelbanan in Stockholm, Sweden for May 18 was announced in April 2003.

Krux est un supergroupe suédois de doom metal, originaire de Stockholm. Du fait de l'emploi du temps chargé de ses membres, le groupe ne donne qu'une poignée de concerts depuis sa formation mais enregistre trois albums studio en dix ans d'existence. Depuis la sortie de l'album Krux III - He Who Sleeps Amongst the Stars en 2011, l'activité du groupe est en suspens.
