KROKMITËN IS A DEATH METAL STUDIO PROJECT OWNED BY SIMLEV [pronounced croc-me-ten] Definition: Cajun phonetic spelling of the french word "croque-mitaine". A shapeless imaginary being used by adults to frighten children into behaving. Syn; Boogeyman, Bonhomme sept-heures, El ogro, El coco, Böögg, Monstret under sängen, Der schwarze Mann, Bicho Papão, Mörkö, Alploochra, Antchoutka, Bouloulou, Namahage... Formed in 1991 as a full-fledge gigging band, Krokmiten was shelved by Simlev in 1995 and reactivated in 2005 as a studio project exclusively. At the helm of the project in his Montreal studio, composer Simlev works with carefully selected session musicians from album to album. Krokmitën specializes in conceptual and experimental one-track albums built from the ground up like a movie score or a classical piece. Favoring a DIY approach and releasing music for free is part of Krokmitën's concept and ideology. 2022 LINE-UP CONTRIBUTION Krokmitën is a self-produced operation. Making quality music with a DIY approach and offering it for free is costly. If you want to help facilitate the process, now you can! All donations will be put to good use for making better music. |

NEWS: October 31st 2022 KROKMITËN RELEASES NEW ALBUM TAU Montréal-based Death Metal studio project Krokmitën has just released its fourth album TAU. Krokmitën leader Simlev has this say about the new release: “Today, I’m happy to finally unleash this strange 32-minute dystopian death/doom track! It’s not exactly what you’d expect and it’s without a doubt the slowest and most experimental Krokmitën album to date but built amidst the pandemic, TAU reflects my state of mind during this ordeal.“ TAU has been recorded and mixed by Simlev at the Krokmitën Studio on the island of Montreal, Canada and has been Mastered by Thiago Pinheiro at AudioSpa in São Paulo, Brazil. Following his stint on HETA, Guyot is back behind the kit for TAU. Guyot Bégin-Benoit is known for his work on Beyond Creation's first album The Aura and Brought By Pain's Crafted by Society. TAU is available now as free download on Krokmitën’s website, www.krokmiten.com, and on all major digital music platforms, including Spotify, iTunes, Amazon, and YouTube. |

NEWS: September 27th 2022 KROKMITËN'S OMICRON-OMEGA IS CURRENTLY BEING REMIXED The band’s second album is currently being remixed by Krokmitën frontman Simlev at the Krokmitën Studio in Montréal. Simlev has a few words to say about the project: “Omicron was my first experience at mixing in 2014. Since then, I’ve learned so much and I felt I could bring this album closer to my inial vision sonically. On top of it, it was about time to post Krokmitën’s catalog on all the streaming platforms but I wanted to remix Omicron from the ground up beforehand. In a nutshell, that’s where the idea came from. I’m still a student at mixing and will always be, but I feel this version will be indeniably clearer and punchier.” Once finished, Omicron-Omega will replace the current version on Krokmitën’s website, www.krokmiten.com, as free download, and on all major digital music platforms, including Spotify, iTunes, Amazon, and YouTube. |
