Kraanium welcomes new vocalist Robin “Elfi” Schramm to their ranks with new single

Formed in 2001, Kraanium have spent over two decades cementing their status as pioneers of slamming brutal death metal. Over the years, the group released 6 full-length albums and more – with their latest release, 2023’s “Scriptures of Vicennial Defilement,” being their Unique Leader Records debut. Having toured extensively worldwide, performing at iconic festivals such as Brutal Assault, Obscene Extreme, and Las Vegas Deathfest, the band has built a formidable fanbase. 

Now Kraanium enter a new chapter, welcoming Robin “Elfi” Schramm as their new vocalist.

Robin “Elfi” comments: “I’m beyond proud to be the new vocalist of Kraanium. It’s a huge honor to hit the stage with the band, tear it up live, and carry this next chapter forward together.”

Kraanium adds: “Behold the new vocalist of Kraanium. 

“After a long search, we’re excited to announce Robin ‘Elfi’ as the new guttural master!

“We’re pumped to have him onboard and unleash his brutality.

“We’re currently busy cooking up NEW SLAMZ in the kitchen but for now check out one of our favourite old school tracks…ROCK FILLED ORIFICE – re-recorded 🔨🔨🔨“
