How would you classify your music?
Karnage Through Crossing is gritty empowering melodic Heavy Metal Crossover music, with the machine guns of thrash, majesty of Heavy Metal, Power of Death, and anthemic force of hard rock.
Is there any inspiration for the band?
Our favorite bands that help shape our sound include Megadeth, Judas Priest, Iced Earth, Skullfist, and Death Angel.
What are your plans for 2025?
After recording our two new singles in the spring, and releasing our new hit single THE UNDERGROUND on September 5th, we are locked in, halfway completed writing our second album, training another potential member to join the KTX Crew, then explore back or into Alberta this winter / Spring for a lashing of New music displaying the new era for the band. Our second album is estimated to be released late 2026.
What would be your dream collaboration?
Being a crossover band it would be very interesting to see our Heavy Metal roots collaborate with something more technical and brutal like Lorna Shore. We've seen Will collaborate with diverse groups before so it would be an experience to see how much whiplash we could create from these contrasts. What's your favorite anime? By far Arcane, the story is just so gritty and empowering, if you enjoy the series then listen to The Underground by us and you'll hear echoes from a lot of the second season.
What advice would you give new artists?
You need to be willing to make sacrifices and stick to it for years. If you busy range to have fun, great for you, but if you want to succeed you can't treat it as a casual hobby. If working hard at music makes you unhappy then it's not for you, music will test you, and rarely do those with options choose the tough track of a music career. Dedicated yourself, lock in, and get your F**** rest.
Anything else you want the viewers to know?
Remember our song writers live and bleed heavy metal! There's more then just a song you're hearing, this is a message, a statement! And a legacy we all share together, in the Pit, on our jackets, and in our lives. Come for the story, stay for the power!!
