Kraanium was formed in 2001 and are one of the original pioneers of the slamming brutal death metal genre. Originally founded in the depths of hell in Norway, the band is now a multinational slam machine from all over Europe. 

​

Over the years they have released 6 full length studios albums, 3 split CDS with more releases in motion. After being headhunted by Unique Leader Records, Kraanium have signed a 3 album deal, with the first, 'Scriptures of Vicennial Defilement'  released in 2023.

Having toured all over Europe, USA, Russia, Asia as well as performing at iconic festivals such as Brutal Assault, Obscene Extreme, Las Vegas Deathfest, they have built up a solid world wide fan base and will continue to spread the brutality of SLAM!

​

Since the passing of their dear brother Martin Funderud, (Former vocalist, 1978-2017), the band is dedicated to honour him as well as his passion for brutal music.

Rest in Power.
