This music is a bit avant-garde in a Rammstein kind of way.
The hard rock machinery KRAKEL founded in 2017 impresses its audience and is appreciated for its own identity and sound.
KRAKEL is hard rock with a metal twist! Heavy riffs with light and airy parts, full buzz, beautiful melodies and lyrics with a message. The music fills a hole in modern hard rock/metal with its dramatic expression!
Me, Katarina and Åsa are the founders of the band.
”We are really passionate about our band and really love to make music. We’re excited of all the great reviews and amazing feedback at gigs! ”
The band has released three albums and 17 singles.
In 2024 two single has been released, first out was STARK, released the 16th of February and with lyrics in German. ”As expected it is in your face and full of attitude”/ Roppongi Rocks.
The 16th of August Submarines was released.
The single Underworld, released in October 2023, is inspired by a trip to London, the howl of the subway was recorded and it turned out to be in perfect pitch for the song. We also got inspiration from the UK national scheme ”Ask for Angela”.
This has now led to KRAKEL becoming ambassador for ”Ask for Angela”!
The band has had several gigs at festivals and clubs over the years.
