CRONOS COMPULSION (USA) – ‘Cursed and Decaying’ TAPE

Cronos Compulsion is a death metal band based out of Denver, CO and Chicago, IL. Formed in 2021, the band is composed of Wil Wilson (Thanotheristes, formerly Phthisis) on vocals/guitar, Jon Linskey (Ashen Gaze, Sectra, formerly Phthisis) on drums and noise, and Addison Herron-Wheeler on bass. Taking their name from an archaeological term describing violent behavior towards a corpse, Cronos Compulsion plays a sludgy, grimey style of death doom with lyrics that focus on death rituals, dreams, and ancient violence. The band’s influences include classic death and black metal, doom, noise, and experimental metal.
