“RISE AND CONFRONT” KRISIUN. “RISE AND CONFRONT” YOUR LOCAL FLORIST.

Every day I go to my local corner store, and every day the Satanic Hispanics who sell flowers there are rocking DM gear, and I am often rocking similar gear, and so every day they give me a little nod, and I give them a little nod, and of course we’re social awkward betas who don’t even speak the same first language so we never actually communicate beyond that. But, based on their choice of shirts and hoodies, it’s clear that Krisiun is one of their favorite bands, and I should try to work up the nerve to ask them if they wanna write about Krisiun for us, ’cause a) the opinion of a Flower Dude is as good as any, and b) I am no Krisiun expert despite the fact that the band has been a staple in death metal for more than fifteen years now.

While I see if I can make that happen, you should know that someone who does know a heckuva lot more about this Brazilian trio than I do assures me that their new album, The Great Execution, is their best yet. And I know Vince enjoyed “The Will to Potency,” the new song from that album that they released last month. And I’m certainly digging “Rise and Confront,” the latest Execution track to be unveiled, which is now streaming on the band’s Facebook page. You don’t even have to “like” Krisiun to listen to it, so you should at least listen to it.

The Great Execution comes out November 1 on Century Media. I will see about having the Flower Dudes do a review for us.
