KRANIUS Unleashes New Album 'Foundation' – A Heavy Metal Masterpiece
Salford, Manchester, UK – Kranius, the brainchild of multifaceted musician Gary Mungins, returns to the metal scene with their latest release, Foundation, available on all digital platforms from August 30, 2024. Blending the raw energy of thrash and heavy metal, Foundation is a hard-hitting album that is set to captivate fans of Metallica, Megadeth, Pantera, Fear Factory, and Machine Head.
Kranius, born in 1996 under the name 'Cranium' before evolving into its current identity, is driven solely by Gary Mungins, who handles every aspect of the project. From songwriting and instrumentation to production, Gary brings his vision of metal to life, unfiltered and fiercely independent. His DIY ethos has earned Kranius a cult following, with early releases laying the foundation for the thrash and heavy metal journey that culminates in Foundation.
Foundation combines the aggressive riffs, powerful rhythms, and melodic intensity that Kranius is known for, featuring Gary’s signature clean vocals that dip into gritty, aggressive tones. The album’s themes dive deep into inner conflict, societal critiques, and philosophical explorations of the human experience. It's more than just heavy metal—it’s a sonic narrative of resilience, introspection, and defiance.
Kranius has long been a symbol of independence in the metal world. From his early work on MP3.com in the '90s to the self-produced Foundation, Gary has remained true to his vision, producing and distributing his music without the backing of major labels. This unrelenting independence allows for a raw, unfiltered sound that continues to resonate with fans.
